brief
Milltech Precision Engineering is a specialist CNC machining and assembly sub-contractor in Norwich, UK, established in 1999. Four engineering divisions work from one accountable shop floor — a 40+ machine fleet, CMM inspection and an ISO 9001:2015 quality system behind every part.
Who we are
What does Milltech do?
We are a specialist precision machining and assembly sub-contractor in Norwich, UK — a one-stop machining shop, from raw bar to finished, inspected assembly.
Our work runs through four engineering divisions — Aerospace & Defence, Energy, Valves & Manifolds and General Engineering — on one accountable shop floor, with cross-division milling, turning, assembly and 3D printing behind all of them.
Group ownership
Part of the Indutrade Group
Milltech joined the Indutrade Group in 2015. Indutrade is a Swedish industrial group of more than 220 engineering and technology companies — some 9,800 people across more than 30 countries — that acquires businesses for their technical expertise and backs them long term.
The Group is deliberately decentralised: the best decisions are made locally, by the people closest to the customer. Engineering decisions, scheduling and the people you deal with all stay here in Norwich. What Indutrade adds sits behind the shop floor — financial strength, longevity and an experienced network of specialist engineering businesses to draw on. The supplier you approve today will still be here for the programme after this one.
