Our Vision

Our vision is removing errors from the part production process so manufacturers can have the confidence they will produce right-first-time parts, every time. This stems from the previous careers of our founders in software development and mechanical engineering. Both had witnessed engineers struggling to fix part errors that were being identified during final inspection – when it was too late to correct the issue. These errors could be removed and this was the 'Eureka!' moment that started MSP.

The problems we solve

At MSP, our integrated metrology solutions enable global manufacturers to achieve 24/7 lights out production and full automation. Our world class suite of products create stable manufacturing cycles which have enabled our customers to make rework and scrap a thing of the past and give them the confidence they will make good, ready to ship parts every time.

The companies we help

Our client portfolio includes blue chip manufacturers across multiple industries, aerospace (defence and civilian), additive, space and motorsport, some of which have experienced significant results: complex part setup reduced from 7 days to 4 hours, 157% increases in machine capacity and 100% increases in productivity.

The people of MSP

We are a talented team driven by the goal of creating error-free CNC machining processes and giving our customers expert advice about probing, metrology, and automation. Our loyalty and hard-working nature make us unique; we will always go above and beyond and will always advise on the best ways to use our products to suit your applications.
