Founded in 1992, Extronics is a leading global designer and manufacturer of intrinsically safe and explosion proof equipment. From its UK headquarters, it serves customers that work in potentially explosive environments, especially those in the chemical, pharmaceutical, petrochemical and oil & gas industries.

Consequentially, Extronics is now recognised as a leader and innovator in the global hazardous area market. To serve this market, Extronics has developed a network of sales partners and resellers located in major industrial centres throughout the world.
