Over the preceding decade, the company capabilities and turnover have been steadily increasing. Specialisation and selective diversification have been contributory factors to this growth and every year significant investment is made in research and development to follow this path.

The company takes responsibility for the complete project life-cycle from establishing customer needs, designing and selecting the most appropriate technology, assembling the best team to implement the project solution and, in some cases, operating the system for the customer.

The company has a strong focus on Research and Development with partners across Europe and in the United States of America. We welcome opportunities for national and international research collaboration.
