About us

Welcome to the Precision Manufacturing Centre, an international centre of specialist engineering excellence based at The University of Nottingham

You are here: Home   > About us   >
We have a world-class research reputation. The 2008 UK Research Assessment Exercise confirmed our University’s status as internationally leading and ranked us in the top five UK universities for engineering.

This reputation has attracted funding from a wide range of stakeholders including the EU, regional development agencies, major funding bodies and commercial companies of all sizes.

It has given us the means to invest in £millions to equip our Centre with some of the most advanced ground-breaking technology in the world, build an experienced, interdisciplinary team and set up a dedicated technology transfer and commercial arm, the Centre of Excellence in Customised Assembly (CECA).

CECA provides commercial focus, giving industrial companies affordable access to our technology, expert knowledge and strong technical support to tackle challenges and then develop and implement cost effective, sustainable solutions.

Our customers range from locally based small to medium sized enterprises to large multi-national corporations in the aerospace, defence, automotive, energy and medical devices sectors.
