Findlay Irvine - Electro-mechanical and software products

James Findlay and John Irvine met while working at Ferranti in Edinburgh. 

​

With the recent invention of the transistor, they decided there must be a future for a company specialising in Industrial Electronics and, in 1960, Findlay Irvine was born.

​

The pair rented half of the building previously occupied by the primary school in Penicuik, just a few miles south of Edinburgh in Scotland. After a while they rented the other half and then bought the building. Over the years a number of extensions and other buildings were added, but the old school building still forms the heart of the production facility.

​

The company quickly developed a reputation for developing innovative electronic and mechanical products. Partnerships with Universities and research establishments led to range of ground-breaking technologies and a number of industry awards.
