Why Xaar
Pushing the boundaries of inkjet innovation
We're strong believers in creating a good work-life balance and make wellbeing a priority for all our people. That's why we have flexible working hours and have events throughout the year focused on health and wellbeing. There's also an employee assistance programme for any confidential help and support we may all need from time to time.
We reward outstanding or exceptional performance for anyone who has gone above and beyond at any point during the year. We encourage people to nominate colleagues for an award which may range from a thank you card to a gift voucher.

Our locations
Cambridge
Our headquarters are located at the Cambridge Research Park, the hub of R&D and technology within the UK and Europe. Situated just outside of Cambridge city centre, our office is surrounded by leafy walks with excellent transport links into the city centre and numerous cycle routes.
Cambridge is small enough to be friendly and easy to get around but with the facilities of a larger city. The historic and beautiful city offers a wide variety of social, cultural and leisure activities as well as highly regarded schools and amenities. There are also excellent transport links with Stansted just down the road and London accessible in 50 minutes by train.
Huntingdon
Just 20 miles down the A14 from Cambridge, Huntingdon is home to our high-tech cleanrooms. The area is an established manufacturing centre of excellence supporting over 10,500 jobs in the region. Huntingdonshire's key market towns, Ramsey, St Ives and St Neots have long and interesting histories, offering peaceful settings, river frontage, historical attractions and quality restaurants and cafes.
