About

A manufacturer, not a reseller

Locus believes everything has a place, and we're obsessed with making sure it stays there.

Our story

Born out of Klipspringer

Locus was born out of Klipspringer Ltd. Klipspringer began as a specialist provider of food safety equipment, not as a shadow board manufacturer.

A food manufacturer asked for a clear way to store hygiene equipment separately, make every item instantly identifiable and show when something was missing. The shadow board we made for that challenge revealed a wider need: customers wanted a visual management system, not simply a printed board.

We brought production in-house and chose to specialise. We developed accurate tool-grid shadows, mounting systems and hook options around real industrial use. Customers usually install boards with their in-house team; we offer installation for multi-site programmes. Magnetic fixings are supplied when selected, while direct-to-wall and other wall fixings are not because each site requires different hardware. Our philosophy became simple: a shadow board is only as good as the system behind it.

Demand soon grew beyond food production into automotive, transport, engineering, utilities, warehousing and manufacturing. Locus was established as a separate company so we could focus on those industries while retaining the people, manufacturing expertise and quality standards behind Klipspringer’s work.

Our shadow boards are manufactured under the Klipspringer Group's ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system. Supplier questionnaires and company documentation available on request.

How we work

What we stand for

  • Care about the craft

    We take pride in doing things properly: premium materials, expert manufacturing, bespoke design and products built to last.

  • Obsess over details

    Every hook, outline, placement and finish is considered, backed by insider knowledge of how workplaces actually run.

  • Straight answers

    If a board will not fix the problem, we say so. We would rather lose an order than install something that gets ignored.

  • Proof first

    Nothing is manufactured without a signed-off proof. Changes at proof stage are free.
