The best-selling British computer of all time has hit another milestone.

Raspberry Pi’s chief manufacturer, the Sony UK Technology Centre, has hit a pretty sizeable milestone.

Five years ago, Sony UK was approached to make 10,000 Raspberry Pi units per year — that’s a tiny 27 a day — but today it churns out up to 15,000 a day and recently rolled the 10 millionth unit of Britain’s best-selling computer off its production line.

The 30,000 square metre Sony UK facility, based in Pencoed, South Wales, has scaled up so that its peak Raspberry Pi production capacity can reach 100,000 units per week.
