Today Penlon continues to design, engineer and build high quality anaesthesia products at its UK operations headquarters. The company is proud to have over 70 years’ dedicated experience, many awards for product design, and an impressive four Queen’s Awards for Enterprise, one for ‘Innovation’ and three for ‘International Trade’.
