Company description:
Syrris is a fast-growing world-leader in the field of automated products for Organic Chemistry. Syrris has customers around the world, with its sales coming 30% from Europe, 30% from the Americas and 40% from Asia. Syrris has sales offices in the UK, USA, Japan, India, and Brazil, as well as having distributors in over 30 countries. Syrris’ customers come from pharmaceutical, academic, petrochemicals, chemicals, defence and other industries.
Formed in 2001, Syrris is based in Royston in Hertfordshire, and in August 2011 moved into completely refurbished premises. All Syrris products are manufactured in the Royston facility.
A core value of Syrris that drives the strong global competitive position is absolute excellence. Syrris is about development and manufacture of truly world class products.
As a result of the growth of the company, Syrris is expanding its R&D team to continue to innovate and develop new world leading products.
The Syrris products are world leading for two key reasons:
- They are easier to use than any other products in the market
- They are more technically advanced than others, and therefore able to achieve results otherwise not possible for customers
The products are fully integrated electro mechanical systems driven with both low and high level software. The Syrris global team is highly dynamic and motivated, and as a result of the ongoing growth of the company there is much opportunity for development. Many team members have very significantly increased their seniority as the company has grown. The Syrris team strives for the best possible performance, but is also highly meritocratic, so that performance is rewarded.
