Welcome to Hodgson Acoustics

Hodgson Acoustics can trace its origins back to 1890 and can be considered a founding member of the UK organisations which developed noise control and acoustic product solutions for the industrial sector.  The company has undergone a number of changes and acquisitions throughout its extensive history.  Most recently in 2018 when it joined the IAC Acoustics global group of companies.

The core premise of the company has never changed  – we pride ourselves on providing a bespoke, personal service tailored to meet our clients’ noise control requirements.  Specialists in the Industrial and Power sectors of noise control, our design, engineering and manufacturing capabilities ensure we remain at the forefront of developing acoustic solutions for clients throughout the UK.  We work to support the needs of UK manufacturing, industrial fabrication, power generation and power distribution, by creating safe working noise levels for employees, residents and the surrounding environment.

Our Values

The Future

Noise is an issue that is a challenge in all parts of modern life. In particular the continued pressure and demand on space, residential communities and commercial facilities, means the built environment requires ever increasing noise mitigation.  From manufacturing facilities to data centres Hodgson Acoustics works to solve noise control issues creating safe working and living environments for all.

As part of the IAC Acoustics group, Hodgson Acoustics has access to global resources such as product test and development in a wholly owned and certified acoustical test laboratory; access to innovative noise control solutions for large power plant facilities; low cost manufacture for international projects, and technology interchange.

In 2021 to meet the growth challenges of the future, we have taken the opportunity to strengthen our Leadership Team.  By promoting from within we ensure the organisation has the right people and experience to take Hodgson Acoustics forward into the next phase of growth.

Our Facilities and Capabilities

We currently have approximately 50,000 sq foot of manufacturing facilities across two sites utilising an array of modern manufacturing equipment, including a Bystronic 4m fibre laser and auto tool press brake.  We can accommodate volume production and consistent flow of acoustic enclosure systems and associated noise control products to meet the needs of even the largest clients.

We have full in-house end-to-end production capabilities, from laser cutting through to paint finishing.  In full control of our production process, we can ensure efficiency and control, while minimising any time and cost from external sources or the movement of part finished goods.  We take our accreditation seriously and with great pride – our ISO 9001/140001/45001 certification reflects our commitment to deliver noise control solutions through quality, environmental and occupational health & safety management systems.
