Renishaw is a global engineering technology group with head office based in Gloucestershire/Wotton-under-Edge, UK. We create high precision technology for metrology and healthcare.
We are also a world leader in additive manufacturing (also known as metal 3D printing). We design and produce compact machines that ‘print’ parts from metal powder.
From transport to agriculture, electronics and healthcare, our breakthrough technology transforms product performance.
We have 67 key locations in 36 countries with 5.000+ employees worldwide. Over 3.000 people work for us in the UK. This is where we do much of our research and development and manufacturing.
Renishaw’s Dutch branch is responsible for sales and service in the Benelux. The office is based in Breda. Specialised teams provide (technical) support for mainly position measurement and industrial metrology equipment. Furthermore, order processing takes place here and the office recently underwent an extensive refurbishment and is now equipped with the latest standards regarding sustainability and ready for future growth.
Celebrating more than 50 years of innovation
At Renishaw, we have spent 50 years engineering change. Our company was established in 1973 by David McMurtry (now Sir David McMurtry), Executive Chairman, and John Deer, Non-Executive Deputy Chairman. Renishaw’s first product, the touch-trigger probe, was invented by Sir David to solve a specific inspection requirement for the Olympus engines used in Concorde. This innovative product led to a revolution in three-dimensional co-ordinate measurement, enabling the accurate measurement of machined components and finished assemblies.
Throughout our history we have made a significant commitment to research and development with typically around 13% to 18% of annual sales invested in R&D and engineering. This has enabled us to design, develop and deliver solutions that provide unparalleled precision, control and reliability.
Our commitment to investments in people, product development and production capacity, are all underpinned by a commitment to be a more sustainable organisation, to ensure we continue transforming tomorrow together.
