Our Vision

Pickering’s vision is to achieve a sustainable future as a global leader in the innovation, design and manufacture of Test and Measurement products to provide superb customer service in a supportive and positive working environment for our employees.

Our Mission

Grow organically and ethically through designing, manufacturing and marketing the most innovative, reliable, and cost-effective solutions to our customers that help accelerate their test and verification processes and improve the quality of their products and services while providing employees with a family environment that allows them to thrive.


We have been in switching technology since 1968, when our relay division was formed to design, manufacture, and distribute high-quality reed relays. Since their introduction, these relays have been implemented by most major test and measurement companies worldwide. Twenty years later, our switching and simulation division was formed and became an early innovator with the introduction of its PXI switching modules and now offers over 1,000 PXI, PCI, LXI & USB products along with diagnostic test tools and application software and software drivers.

In 2005, Pickering opened a manufacturing facility in the Czech Republic to design and manufacture cable and connector solutions to ease the integration of its products into functional test systems. With the increase in requests for these connectivity products for applications outside of the test and measurement industry, in 2014, we decided to establish the connectivity division, a new subsidiary for customers seeking standard and custom connectivity solutions.

Headquartered in the United Kingdom, we have three manufacturing facilities — one in the UK and two in the Czech Republic. We also have sales and support offices throughout Asia, Europe, and North America.
