Strix celebrates hitting two billion landmark

A Manx-based manufacturer is celebrating - after selling more than two billion of its products around the world.

The Strix Group, headquartered in Ballasalla, designs and produces kettle safety controls and is the largest supplier in the world - seven out of ten kettles in the UK contain its components.

The firm says its products are thought to be used more than a billion times a day.

Chief executive Mark Bartlett says Strix is delighted to reach the 2 billion milestone, and will be celebrating at its facilities around the world.
