Company Information

Pi is a global supplier and has been providing instrument solutions since 1998 through Distributors, under Private Label/OEM agreements and to End Users in the Water, Waste, Chemical, Paper, Pool & Leisure industries. With offices, a laboratory and new manufacturing facilities in Burnley, in the UK, Pi has a growing reputation for innovation and operates globally with customers in over 30 countries around the world.

Recognising that no two applications are the same, Pi develops solutions to meet customer requirements and remains committed to product development and improving customer relations by delivering invaluable on-site support, excellent customer service, knowledge and expertise. In 2009 Pi was awarded the ISO 9001 quality accreditation, doubled its turnover and continued to invest heavily in Research & Development (accounting for 25% of overhead for the year).

To date Pi has four major Private Label Agreements, although most of the business still comes through its strong Distributor partnerships, with last year proving to be an excellent year for the company, resulting in considerable sales growth in Europe and the Middle East.

Pi offers the only auto-calibrating residual chlorine analyser with two-way remote communication in the world following many years of collaborative research and development with The University of Manchester. This product was responsible for the company winning probably the single biggest chlorine analyser order ever, for the supply of over 300 analysers to Northern Ireland Water.

Thanks to continued product development projects, Pi has received numerous nominations and awards; most recently nominated for Innovation and Business of the Year at the BIBAS 2009, the North West’s biggest business awards ceremony; proud winner of the O2 Award for Innovation through Technology 2008 (NWSCA); winner of a DTi SMART award and recipient of a DTi grant for Research & Development (NWDA).

Roger Heise, Chairman of Process Instruments:

“2008/9 was a great year for Pi, with our 10th anniversary, numerous product launches and also completing our research into remote access for the CRIUS range of instruments. The Northern Ireland Water contract was a tangible recognition of the company’s innovation and commitment to deliver world class products. The team at Pi is looking forward to continuing to work closely with its customers for everyone’s success in 2010.”
