STEM Education is an obvious passion for us here at Pektron. We are a lead sponsor of the Robotics Club at local school Landau Forte College Derby and we were honoured to judge the most recent regional tournament. Students taking part in these tournaments demonstrate a wide range of transferrable and admirable skills from teamwork, communication, and strategic gameplay to robotics, mechatronics, and electronics. We may be slightly biased, but the talent from Derby looks set to produce world-leading engineers of the future, and we're here for it. #STEM #education #robotics #ExcellenceinElectronics

Are you old enough to remember the 'sit-buckle-start' sequence? Taken from the Austin MG Technical Service Bulletin from 1974: "The Pektron seat belt interlock system is designed to act as a seat belt warning and prevent engine start if the sit-buckle-start sequence is not followed. It will also give a visual and audible warning if the transmission is placed in a forward gear, and the driver or passenger do not have their seat belts fastened." Check out the wiring diagram and the FAQs. #automotive #history #ExcellenceinElectronics

Innovation: from the Latin noun innovatio, derived from the verb innovare, to introduce [something] new. Compiling the history of Pektron has revealed that a fundamental driving force throughout the years has been innovation. Not 'scary, kick-starter, where-is-this-going' innovation. But a 'safe-pair-of-hands' innovation, built on engineering wisdom and applied technology to solve problems. Today, our consultative approach continues to impress our customers. Pektron engineers work closely with their counterparts to ensure the best approach to design, function, production, and quality. #ExcellenceinElectronics #electronicsengineering #engineering #innovation
