element14 moves Raspberry Pi production back to UK

element14 has shifted its production of the £25 Raspberry Pi microcomputer back to the UK from China.

The move follows the announcement last year that the company, which is currently the largest Raspberry Pi distributor in the world, was starting to produce the device with Sony UK Technology Centre in the Welsh town of Pencoed. Claire Doyle, global head of Raspberry Pi at element14, commented: "We are constantly amazed by the demand for the Raspberry Pi across the world and have done everything we can to ensure we keep our supply chain stocked. "The business stated back in September its intention to bring production of the computer back to its home, the UK, and now after a period of transition we are delighted to announce that all production is in Wales."
