Norfolk electronics factory up for sale

Following Hamlin Electronics’ decision to move part of its manufacturing operations abroad, the company’s modern, high-specification production unit at Sawmills Road, Diss in South Norfolk has been put up for sale. The 64,000 sq ft premises were built in 1995.

The property comprises a modern industrial building with integral offices and ancillary accommodation on a prominent site of 3.7 acres. 

The factory is currently set up to provide a hi-tech, climate-controlled production facility which has been used by Hamlin for the manufacturing of electronic sensors.

However, the building is sufficiently versatile to provide clear span warehousing or conventional manufacturing space.



The international agents, Cushman & Wakefield and, Norwich-based professionals Roche Chartered Surveyors are jointly handling the sale of the property. 

James Allen of Roche said:

“The availability of the Hamlin Electronics factory provides an opportunity for technology companies seeking a prestige production unit, including those who might be considering moving within East Anglia.



“Diss is a well connected location, being on the Liverpool Street train line and close to both the A140 and A14. Stansted and Norwich airports are readily accessible, as is the Port of Felixstowe.



“The property is equally suitable for warehouse use or more conventional manuf-acturing. It also has potential to be split into more than one unit.”



Hamlin will be relocating its offices and technical centre to new premises in the area once the existing factory has been sold.
