What Felcon does

Felcon Ltd is a UK-based independent designer and manufacturer of cleanroom, laboratory, and healthcare equipment, founded in 1971 and headquartered in Newhaven, with regional operations in Poland and India and a healthcare-focused sub-brand (Goldsworth Medical). The company operates across seven core product categories — wet processing equipment, tube washers and parts cleaning systems, containment/laminar flow/robotics enclosures, airshowers, transfer hatches, hospital and cleanroom equipment, and metal-free equipment — alongside a specialist bespoke equipment service. All products are manufactured in-house at the Newhaven facility using 304/316 stainless steel or advanced thermoplastics (fire-retarding polypropylene, FM-approved thermoplastics, Trespa), engineered by an in-house team spanning design, mechanical, electrical, software, and testing disciplines with 3D CAD/CAx tools.

Felcon serves four primary verticals: NHS and private healthcare providers, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, semiconductor and electronics manufacturers (including solar cell processing), and research and education institutions. The company is an approved NHS supplier and designs equipment to meet HTM64, British/European standards, and GMP guidelines. Revenue is generated through two streams: (1) bespoke and standard hardware sales with quote-based pricing determined by specification, materials, and customization, and (2) recurring servicing via planned preventative maintenance, commissioning, call-out support, and fault diagnostics on Felcon and Goldsworth equipment. The business distributes via direct enterprise field sales, supported by regional offices in Poland and India, brochure-driven content marketing, the corporate website, and selective industry events such as SEMICON India 2025.

The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, parent entity, or institutional investors, and operates as a self-funded multi-product industrial SME with a global footprint covering 35+ countries across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, North America, Africa, and Australasia.
