About Us: Take A Step Inside Kitronik HQ
Kitronik is a team of engineers, designers, makers, and educators united by one goal: to make technology fun, accessible, and inspiring. Since 2005, we’ve created high-quality kits and resources that spark curiosity and empower learners of all ages. Alongside our electronic project kits, we offer a wide range of materials and accessories for micro:bit, Arduino, plywood, e-textiles, Perspex, clocks and more.
Whether it’s a classroom exploring technology for the first time or a maker building their next invention, we provide the tools, guidance, and support to make learning hands-on and exciting, empowering the next generation to invent the future.
A New Chapter: Employee Ownership at Kitronik
In 2024, Kitronik entered an exciting new era by becoming an employee-owned company through the creation of an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT). This shift means every member of our team now has a direct stake in the future of the business, and a shared responsibility for shaping it.
For our customers, this means:
- Commitment – every product, order, and resource is backed by people who genuinely own the outcome.
- Stability – the EOT keeps Kitronik independent, innovative, and focused on long-term growth.
- Shared purpose – our team is invested in delivering the very best for educators, makers, and learners.
Employee ownership isn’t just a legal structure, it’s a reflection of who we are. It ensures that Kitronik’s success is shared by the people who make it possible every day.
Designed and Made in Nottingham
Every Kitronik product carrying our name is designed and assembled at our headquarters in Nottingham, UK. With in-house design, manufacturing, and distribution, we maintain complete control over quality, innovation, and the details that matter.
- SMT and assembly lines that build our electronic kits from the ground up.
- Laser cutting and materials processing for classroom and maker projects of all kinds.
- Dedicated design and engineering teams are continually developing new ideas, products, and resources.
Our People, Our Strength
From the board room to customer support, our team’s expertise and enthusiasm drive every idea forward. With employee ownership, that commitment is stronger than ever. Every success is shared, and every challenge is met together. It’s this collective energy that shapes the products we create and the support we offer.
Looking Ahead
At Kitronik, our mission remains clear: to equip the next generation of engineers, scientists, designers, and makers with the tools and confidence to shape the world around them. As technology evolves, so do the opportunities for young people to explore, invent, and tackle real‑world challenges — from sustainability and smart design to robotics and creative coding.
With the support of our customers, partners, and community, we’re excited to keep building resources that spark curiosity and unlock potential. Together, we’re not just preparing students for the future; we’re empowering them to create it.
