£1.5m contracts boost for Mechatronic
A Birmingham automation and smart factory specialist has secured a string of contracts wins across aerospace, automotive, food and drink and healthcare.
Mechatronic Solutions, which employs 50 people at its Kings Norton facility, has secured £1.5m of new orders to supply assembly systems for self-administering drugs, a robotic sensory test facility and new machines that will help companies assemble parts for one of the UK’s leading car makers.
This recent growth will see the company hit £7m in annual sales in 2018 and underlines industry’s growing desire for robotics, automation and integration of Industry 4.0 into its manufacturing processes.
“When we established Mechatronic Solutions in 1988, we set out with a passion for developing advanced technologies that would make a real difference to our clients,” said founder Richard Evans.
“We started on day one with a ‘right first time’ philosophy, which still underpins our thinking and development, ensuring high standards and an efficient approach to automation and new solutions for Smart Factories.”
He added: “The transformation over 30 years has been remarkable. We’ve gone from a small start-up to a firm supplying blue chip companies in the UK, Ireland, Europe and Malaysia, working with big names including Rolls-Royce, Accord Healthcare and IAC.”
Established in a small unit in Birmingham in 1988, Mechatronic Solutions has recently completed its 1500 project, with demand for product innovation, capital investment and application of new technology helping fuel 400% growth in the last five years.
