Manufacturing Technology Centre

The MTC was established in 2010 as an independent Research & Technology Organisation (RTO). Its primary focus is to ensure that great ideas become reality and don’t fall into the manufacturing abyss known as the ‘valley of death’.

It represents one of the largest public sector investments in UK manufacturing and, after four years of planning and a 16-month build, the facility opened at Ansty Park in Coventry at the end of 2011. It exists to prove innovative manufacturing processes and technologies in an agile environment in partnership with industry, academia and other institutions. 

The MTC houses some of the most advanced manufacturing equipment in the world, creating a high-quality environment for the development and demonstration of new technologies on an industrial scale. We provide integrated manufacturing system solutions for customers large and small, across sectors as diverse as automotive, aerospace, rail, informatics, construction, food & drink, construction/civil engineering, electronics, oil & gas and defence. We can help companies manufacture faster, at a consistently higher quality and lower cost.

The MTC’s rapid growth has seen the expansion of our campus with the build of three more facilities, including the opening of the National Centre for Additive Manufacturing (NCAM), the Lloyds Bank Advanced Manufacturing Training Centre (AMTC) and the Aerospace Research Centre (ARC).
