Abacus lights the way when it comes to manufacturing ahead of Chad Business Excellence awards

Abacus is celebrating its 65th anniversary since being founded in 1958, manufacturing in Nottinghamshire, supplying lighting systems globally, ever since.

As a leading company in the exterior lighting industry, Abacus, of Oddicroft Lane, Sutton, has consistently demonstrated excellence, innovation and a commitment to outstanding products.

It has been at the forefront revolutionising the lighting industry through the development of base-hinged columns and masts, allowing them to be lowered to the ground for maintenance.

The firm’s dedication to continuous improvement has allowed it to stay ahead of the competition and adapt to evolving demands.

Abacus bosses believe they deserve to be considered for the award due to their exceptional quality standards, adding their commitment to quality has earned customers’ trust and loyalty.

They are also proud of Abacus’s innovative manufacturing techniques, embracing the latest technology to enhance efficiency, reduce waste and improve productivity.

Sustainable manufacturing is a core value of Abacus and its commitment to sustainability goes beyond compliance, but actively seeks innovative ways to reduce environmental impact.

Bosses believes Abacus’s success is fuelled by its talented workforce. By nurturing a positive work environment, Abacus has achieved high employee satisfaction and retention rates.

Over the years, Abacus has been recognised as an industry leader through various accolades, a testament to its pursuit of excellence and ability to consistently deliver exceptional products.
