RNS Number : 6538H  Light Science Tech. Holdings PLC  10 June 2026

Light Science Technologies Holdings plc

("LSTH", "Light Science", the "Company" or the "Group")

 

UK Circuits Secures New Manufacturing Partnership and Production Capacity
Expansion

 

Light Science Technologies Holdings plc (AIM: LST), the innovative technology
and manufacturing business, providing real-world solutions targeting issues
including global food security and fire safety, is pleased to announce that
its Contract Electronics Manufacturing division, UK Circuits and Electronics
Solutions Limited ("UK Circuits"), has entered into a manufacturing
partnership with a leading provider of workforce management and access control
solutions serving the construction and infrastructure sectors (the "Partner").

 

As part of the partnership, UK Circuits has purchased a Surface Mount
Technology ("SMT") production line previously utilised by the Partner, with
installation and commissioning recently completed at the Company's Oldham
manufacturing facility.

 

The new SMT equipment represents a significant enhancement to one of UK
Circuits' three manufacturing lines, increasing component placement throughput
by approximately 40-50% whilst also providing improved placement accuracy,
greater feeder capacity and access to an upgraded software platform with
enhanced functionality.

 

An initial manufacturing order of approximately £70,000 has already been
received from the Partner for the current financial year. In addition, the
Partner has indicated the potential for total orders of up to £200,000, also
for the current financial year, subject to the value of transitional levels of
free issue components that UK Circuits will be required to utilise to clear
the Partner's remaining stocks.

 

The project comprises the manufacture of four printed circuit board assemblies
("PCBAs") for industrial control systems relating to fire safety.

 

About the Partner:

The Partner is a leading provider of workforce management, access control and
safety solutions for the construction and infrastructure sectors. The business
forms part of a global group that is one of the world's largest providers of
intelligent access and security solutions, with operations in more than 70
countries worldwide and annual revenues exceeding £12 billion.

 

Simon Deacon, Chief Executive Officer of Light Science Technologies,
commented: "The transfer and installation of this SMT production line
represents a significant enhancement to our manufacturing capability and
demonstrates the strength of our new relationship with a leading provider of
workforce management and access control solutions.

 

"The increased capacity, improved efficiency and enhanced technical capability
will support both existing customer programmes and future growth
opportunities. We are also delighted to secure this initial order and look
forward to developing the relationship further."

Light Science Technologies Holdings plc ("LSTH") operates through three
divisions: Passive fire protection ("PFP"); AgTech ("AGT") and contract
electronics manufacturing ("CEM"). The Company is involved in the design,
manufacturing, and installation of products and customized solutions spanning
various industry sectors, with a focus on addressing global challenges related
to food security, climate change, and fire protection, the Group is committed
to developing robust solutions in these rapidly growing market sectors.

 

As both an installer and supplier of the fire resistant graphite barrier
system Injectaclad, the PFP division is strongly positioned to capture a
growing proportion of the fire remediation market as the Buildings Safety
Regulator ("BSR") backlog unblocks, enabling accelerated conversion of the
Company's strong sales pipeline. The Injectaclad system is a solution for the
retrospective installation of cavity fire barriers in buildings using a pumped
system, thereby avoiding the need for full-scale façade removal. It addresses
a significant problem in the UK's built environment, where thousands of
buildings require remediation to meet fire safety standards. For more

The Group's tailored AgTech solutions encompass control systems, grow lights,
sensor technology, venting, and irrigation systems, catering to both UK and
global customers. Key markets include indoor, vertical, glasshouses,
polytunnels, and more recently wider applications in broadacre farming.
Driving factors comprise global food and water shortages, a growing
population, government policies promoting sustainable growth methods,
heightened scrutiny of food production's impact on climate change, and a shift
away from processed foods. Key markets span Eastern Europe, the Americas,
Australasia, and select locations in the Middle East, with the Company
expanding routes to market via low-cost, low risk distribution agreements
globally. For more information please visit: Sustainable grow lights and
