Bowyer Engineering Limited was founded in Clerkenwell in 1946 when the Company initially worked in the provision of tooling and equipment for the telecommunications industry. In 1969 Bowyer Engineering, by now specialising in batchwork machining, re-located to a new greenfield site in Andover as part of a London “overspill” agreement. The Company continued to evolve by establishing working relationships with other companies and began to develop and construct automated special purpose machines for use in diverse high-tech industries following a chance opportunity to design and build robotic welding fixtures for a specialist supplier.

Bowyer Engineering enjoys an excellent working relationship of over 50 years with Rolls-Royce aero engines who remain one of the Company’s largest customers. The Company initially supplied mercury slip ring units and inhibiting rigs, but much of the work now carried out is the sub-contract Research and Development of special processes for automation of single crystal wax casting and composite pinning processes. Other long-standing blue-chip customers for who we continue to provide support include IAE, Hydro, UYS and Qinetiq.
