Noblegen sets sights on growth with new base

A manufacturer of liquid nitrogen generators has opened a new global headquarters.

Noblegen Cryogenics has opened a new 19,300sq ft headquarters and manufacturing facility at Boldon Business Park, in South Tyneside.

Bosses say the move brings together the company’s head office, design, and UK production under one roof, positioning it for expansion over the next year.

They add that the new facility, supported by parent company Peak International Group, will provide the “ideal platform” for Noblegen to grow its workforce, enhance research and development and develop new products.

Chris Harvey, general manager at Noblegen, said: “As a global leader in liquid nitrogen generator manufacturing, this new facility gives us the ideal platform to build on our success. 

“We’ve invested heavily in our team and processes, accelerating R&D while creating space for future expansion.

“This is a cornerstone of our growth strategy – leveraging Peak International Group’s worldwide sales and service networks to make on-demand liquid nitrogen generation accessible to a broader market.

“This move prepares us for ambitious growth, enabling faster product development and providing a collaborative workspace that drives innovation. 

“Scaling production opens doors to previously untapped markets – dermatology clinics, hospitals, universities and beyond.”

Founded in 1991, Noblegen produces on-demand liquid nitrogen generators used in laboratories worldwide, helping improve workflow efficiency, safety, and sustainability. 

While primarily serving research facilities, the company has broadened into healthcare, IVF clinics, dermatology, animal husbandry, NMR spectroscopy and pharmaceutical testing.

Councillor Margaret Meling, South Tyneside Council’s lead member for economic growth and transport, added: “We are thrilled to welcome Noblegen Cryogenics. 

“Their cutting-edge technology, exported globally, highlights the UK’s innovation and our borough’s skilled workforce. 

“We look forward to supporting their growth and wish them every success.”
