FAQs
We specialise in custom automation and pharmaceutical equipment. We design bespoke high-performance machinery for pharmaceutical, medical device, FMCG and confectionery sectors, plus proprietary platforms for aseptic liquid and powder fill-finish - from development through commercial production. Our mission is to transform lives through innovative automation and be a world-leading innovator of automation equipment that brings life-changing products to market.
We serve pharmaceutical manufacturers, CDMOs, medical device companies and producers in the FMCG and confectionery sectors worldwide. Our equipment and automation solutions support lab-scale development, clinical manufacturing, pilot lines and full commercial production. Although headquartered in the UK, our client base spans Europe, North America, Asia and beyond - delivering globally engineered solutions for regulated and fast-moving consumer markets.
We apply a proof-of-principle methodology from the outset to de-risk innovation, test feasibility early and reduce time to market. Our engineering approach considers product, process and production simultaneously (the "3P" concept) so manufacturing constraints and scale-up risks are addressed before production begins. Our proprietary pharma equipment platforms - designed for scalability from development through commercial use - enable smoother transitions, fewer change-overs and faster integration, helping clients move from concept to market with greater confidence and speed.
We're headquartered in Warwick, United Kingdom, with a purpose-built facility supporting design, build, test and commissioning of complex automation systems. While UK-based, we serve clients worldwide - including Europe, North America and Asia - and deliver solutions for global manufacturing operations. Whether your production is in the UK or overseas, we offer international supply, installation, support and after-sales services.
We offer over 1,000 years of combined engineering experience with a unique product-process-production approach that prevents downstream delays. Our proven proprietary platforms excel in regulated aseptic filling where standard equipment falls short, backed by collaborative long-term partnerships from concept through commercial production. With UK engineering excellence and global reach, we're the partner of choice for innovation, regulatory complexity and manufacturing scale.
