Our core purpose is to empower our customers to address some of the world's most pressing challenges, enabling a greener economy, increased connectivity, improved health and leaps in scientific understanding.
We are devoted to accelerating the greatest scientific advancements of our age. It matters to us that the products we develop make a real difference to our customers and contribute significantly to their research.
We want to deliver differentiated, accessible solutions to the widest possible scientific research and industrial communities.
We were born out of Queen’s University Belfast in 1989 and we have matured into one of the world’s most innovative companies in the Photonics industry, measuring light down to a single photon and capturing events occurring within 1 billionth of a second.
Innovation, passion and teamwork have been the driving forces behind our growth and success for over 30 years.
We have over 70 unique product solutions, 10,000 customers in 55 countries and 400 staff in 16 offices worldwide including the UK, China, Japan and the USA.
We joined the Oxford Instruments family in 2014 and sit as 1 of 7 businesses within the Group, strengthening our position to innovate in our chosen markets.
In order to meet increased customer demand, Andor moved to a new, purpose-built 50,000sq. ft site in Belfast in 2004.
This is our largest facility and it includes state of the art optical, electronic and mechanical workshops and a 3000sq. ft clean room, as well as vacuum and electronic processing facilities.
We also maintain sales and support facilities throughout the world to ensure we are close to our customers. Please refer to our support section to find your nearest Andor office.
Through continuous dialogue with customers, strong teamwork, and a desire to challenge the status quo, we continue to create inspiring products that improve the world in which we live.
