An engineering firm has selected Maxim Park as their Scottish base for designing power utility products.

Doble Engineering, a company that deals in power grid diagnostic solutions, selected the location after considering 19 properties in and around central Glasgow.

The company has taken a ground floor unit in Maxim 8, an office park placed strategically between Glasgow and Edinburgh, covering an area of 760,000 sq ft.

Ernie Grella, chief technology officer at Doble Engineering, said: “Following the success of this work, we needed to expand, so establishing this new product design office at Maxim Park marks an exciting milestone for us, underscoring our commitment to innovation and meeting the evolving needs of our customers.”

The new setup of 3,244 sq. ft will be dedicated to designing Doble’s electrical testing systems for the power utility industry.

Doble Engineering's initial journey in Scotland started with a research collaboration with Glasgow Caledonian University where lab spaces were provided to staff for research and development tasks.

Ernie said: "Maxim Park provides an ideal location for our talented engineers to thrive, and to continue to grow our team.

"We look forward to making Maxim Park our home in Scotland as we develop cutting edge electrical testing systems for the global power utility industry."

Caroline Baillie, director of Park Services at Maxim Park, said: “We warmly welcome the team at Doble Engineering to the Maxim Park community, and we value their feedback that our location and the ease of commuting will enable the firm to draw engineering talent from a larger area of the country.

“We pride ourselves on working with tenant organisations to help them offer their staff the services and amenities they need to improve their workplace experience. We look forward to seeing Doble Engineering flourish here at Maxim Park.”

    STOCKHOLM (Reuters) -Electric vehicle (EV) maker Polestar said it will have to take steps to offset hefty EU and U.S. import tariffs on its Chinese-made electric cars as it posted a first-quarter operating loss on Tuesday.

Until then, it will incur provisional tariffs of 20% for the cars it brings into the European Union under a proposal by the European Commission and more than 100% for the United States.

    LONDON (Reuters) -Sainsbury's, Britain's second-largest supermarket group, reported a 3% rise in first-quarter underlying sales on Tuesday, although weather-related weakness in non-food categories partially offset robust demand for groceries, sending its shares lower. The group, which has a UK market share of 15.2% trailing only Tesco, said grocery sales rose 4.8% in the 16 weeks to June 22. However, general merchandise and clothing sales fell 4.3% and sales at the group's Argos business dropped 6.2%, reflecting both poor early summer weather which dented sales of seasonal categories and strength in sales in the same period last year.
