Barry\-based Lion Laboratories is set to supply 250 portable infrared breathalysing instruments for use by Finland’s Police, Border Guard and Prison Services. As well as providing the devices, the agreement will also see the company assist with their roll out and deliver full technical training to the country’s law enforcement teams.


Economy Minister, Vaughan Gething today visited the company’s Barry HQ to congratulate the company on its success, and urged more Welsh firms to consider exporting.


The deal with Finland is the latest in a string of international contract wins for Lion Labs, which already exports to over seventy countries across Europe, Asia, America, Africa and Australia.


Its products are widely used by Police Forces all over the world including the UK, Denmark, Malaysia, Thailand, Oman, Switzerland, Namibia, and Australia.


The announcement comes as Lion Laboratories has also appointed new distributors in France, Spain, and Austria over the last 12 months as part of plans to grow its presence in Europe.


International sales currently account for 70% of Lion Laboratories’ trade and its drive on securing new overseas contracts is part of wider plans to grow its export business back to pre\-pandemic levels of 85%.


Martin Slade, Head of Sales at Lion Laboratories, said:



> “Exporting is extremely important to us, both in terms of our security and growth. It ensures that we are not purely reliant on one market and, by covering a wide range of countries, broadens our business opportunities and protects us in the case of any regional dips.
> 
> 
> “At the same time, working with a spread of countries helps us to continually improve our products as they are developed to meet various international requirements, rather than being designed for a small number of specific markets.


Established in 1967, Lion Laboratories was founded by Welsh scientist Dr Tom Parry Jones, who revolutionised road safety with the invention of the original electrochemical breathalyser. Since then, the company has grown to become a global expert in the field of alcohol in breath analysis with its range of instruments helping to prosecute millions of drink drivers worldwide.


Lion Laboratories is currently preparing to participate in several procurement tender opportunities with police forces in other export territories as it continues to support the needs of the market.


Martin believes that one of the key drivers behind Lion Laboratories’ success and export growth over the last ten years has been support from the Welsh Government, which has provided comprehensive market research into new territories and assisted the company in attending trade missions.


Martin added:



> “The Welsh Government has been extremely supportive in helping us to make key contacts overseas which have directly led to new business. They have helped us to attend trade shows to network and communicate with potential clients and distributors, supported us to reach out to British embassies overseas, and have introduced us to connections in several regions including Germany, Austria and Spain, which have resulted in the establishment of new routes to market.

> 
> “During his visit to Wales in December 2021, the Hungarian Ambassador visited Lion Laboratories at our facility in Barry. This was organised and arranged by the Welsh Government and has opened\-up talks for potential business there also.


Economy Minister Vaughan Gething said:



> “I am really pleased the Welsh Government has been able to support Lion Labs to win this significant order with the Finnish Government.
> 
> 
> “Exporting is great for business, and this is another great example of a Welsh company’s exporting success.
> 
> 
> “Our Export Action Plan aims to support more companies across Wales to export their goods and services to new markets internationally and help to create more jobs here in Wales.

Mae Lion Laboratories o’r Barri ar fin gwerthu 250 o anadlenyddion is\-goch cludadwy i’w defnyddio gan Heddlu, Gwarchodwyr Ffiniau a Gwasanaethau Carchardai’r Ffindir. Yn ogystal â chyflenwi’r cyfarpar eu hunain, mae’r cytundeb yn gofyn i’r cwmni helpu i’w cyflwyno ac i roi hyfforddiant llawn i wasanaethau cyfraith y wlad.


Ymwelodd  Gweinidog yr Economi, Vaughan Gething, â’r cwmni heddiw yn y Barri i’w longyfarch ac i annog rhagor o gwmnïau o Gymru i allforio.


Mae’r cytundeb hwn â’r Ffindir yn un o gyfres o gontractau rhyngwladol y mae Lion Labs wedi’u cipio.  Maen nhw eisoes yn allforio i dros saith deg o wledydd ledled Ewrop, Asia, America, Affrica ac Awstralia.


Mae cynnyrch y cwmni’n cael eu defnyddio gan heddluoedd ledled y byd, gan gynnwys yn y DU, Denmarc, Malaysia, Gwlad Thai, Oman, y Swistir, Namibia ac Awstralia.


Daeth y cyhoeddiad wrth i Lion Laboratories benodi dosbarthwyr newydd yn Ffrainc, Sbaen ac Awstria yn y 12 mis diwethaf fel rhan o gynllun i gynyddu ei bresenoldeb yn Ewrop.


Mae 70% o’r cyfan y mae Lion Laboratories yn ei werthu yn cael ei werthu dramor ac mae ei ymdrechion i sicrhau contractau tramor newydd yn rhan o gynllun i adfer ei fusnes rhyngwladol yn ôl i 85%, yr hyn yr oedd cyn y pandemig.


Dywedodd Martin Slade, Pennaeth Gwerthu Lion Laboratories:



> “Mae allforio’n hynod bwysig i ni, o ran diogelu dyfodol y cwmni a thwf.  Mae’n ffordd o wneud yn siŵr nad ydyn ni’n gwbl ddibynnol ar un farchnad a thrwy werthu i amrywiaeth o wledydd, rydyn ni’n cynyddu’r cyfleoedd i’r busnes ac yn ein diogelu rhag anawsterau rhanbarthol.
> 
> 
> “Yr un pryd, trwy weithio gydag amrywiaeth o wledydd, mae hynny’n ein helpu i wella’n cynnyrch wrth i ni eu datblygu i gwrdd â safonau rhyngwladol gwahanol, yn hytrach na dylunio ar gyfer nifer fach o farchnadoedd penodol.


Cafodd Lion Laboratories ei sefydlu ym 1967 gan y gwyddonydd o Gymro, y Dr Tom Parry Jones, a weddnewidiodd diogelwch ar y ffyrdd trwy ddyfeisio’r anadlennydd electrogemegol gwreiddiol.  Ers hynny, mae’r cwmni wedi tyfu i fod yn arbenigwr byd\-eang ym maes dadansoddi alcohol mewn anadl gyda’i ystod o offer yn helpu i erlyn gyrwyr sydd dan ddylanwad alcohol ledled y byd.


Mae Lion Laboratories wrthi’n tendro am gyfleoedd i gyflenwi heddluoedd gwledydd eraill wrth iddo barhau i ddiwallu anghenion y farchnad.


Mae Martin yn credu mai un o’r rhesymau pennaf dros lwyddiant a chynnydd Lion Laboratories yn y maes allforio yn y deng mlynedd diwethaf yw cefnogaeth Llywodraeth Cymru, sydd wedi cynnal ymchwil fanwl i’r farchnad mewn gwledydd newydd a helpu’r cwmni i ymuno â theithiau masnach.


Dywedodd Martin hefyd:



> “Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi bod yn hynod gefnogol trwy’n helpu ni i greu cysylltiadau pwysig dramor sydd wedi arwain at fusnes newydd.  Maen nhw wedi’n helpu i fynd i sioeau masnach i rwydweithio a siarad â chwsmeriaid a dosbarthwyr posib a’n helpu i gysylltu â llysgenadaethau Prydeinig dramor a’n cyflwyno i gysylltiadau mewn sawl gwlad gan gynnwys yr Almaen, Awstria a Sbaen gan sefydlu llwybrau newydd i farchnadoedd.

> “Yn ystod ei ymweliad â Chymru ym mis Rhagfyr 2021, ymwelodd Llysgennad Hwngari â ffatri Lion Laboratories yn y Barri.  Llywodraeth Cymru drefnodd hyn ac esgorodd ar drafodaethau ynghylch busnes yno hefyd.


Dywedodd Gweinidog yr Economi, Vaughan Gething:



> “Rwy’n falch iawn bod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi gallu helpu Lion Labs i sicrhau’r archeb bwysig hon gyda Llywodraeth y Ffindir.
> 
> 
> “Mae allforio’n dda iawn i fusnes, a dyma enghraifft ragorol arall o gwmni o Gymru’n allforio’n llwyddiannus.
> 
> 
> “Amcan ein Cynllun Gweithredu ar Allforio yw helpu cwmnïau ledled Cymru i allforio’u nwyddau a’u gwasanaethau i farchnadoedd newydd ym mhedwar ban a helpu i greu rhagor o swyddi yma yng Nghymru.
