The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) was established in 2010 as an independent Research & Technology Organisation (RTO) with the objective of bridging the gap between academia and industry – often referred to 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.
The MTC provides integrated manufacturing system solutions for customers large and small, across sectors as diverse as automotive, aerospace, rail, informatics, food & drink, construction/civil engineering, electronics, oil & gas and defence.
We were founded by the University of Birmingham, Loughborough University, the University of Nottingham and TWI Ltd, and is part the High Value Manufacturing Catapult, supported by Innovate UK.
Although we’re a relatively young company, we continue to grow at a remarkable rate, going from 44 forward-thinking staff when we opened to being over 1000 strong today.
Over the following seven years the MTC’s rapid growth has seen the expansion of our campus with the construction of three more facilities, including the opening of the Advanced Manufacturing Training Centre and the National Centre for Additive Manufacturing.
While we take great pride providing integrated manufacturing system solutions for a variety of customers, across a diverse range of sectors, including automotive, aerospace, rail, informatics, food & drink, construction/civil engineering and electronics, our vision remains single-minded and focussed: to inspire great British manufacturing on the global stage.
Our people are at the heart of all we achieve and we proudly consider ourselves one team, not multiple. We’re also an ambitious bunch, but while success is undoubtedly important to us, we’re committed to doing things the right way. So, our shared values - responsibility, inspiration, humanity and integrity, and teamwork – are the starting point to all we do.
Our graduate programmes have been put together solely to ensure we continue to unearth and nurture the right people to help us continue developing seemingly impossible ideas into real-life solutions. So, if you’re inspired by the idea of positively impacting society in the right way, let’s talk. You’ll find we value your progress as much as you do. After all, you’re our future.
