German manufacturer Wenzel Metrology UK has moved its headquarters to the East Midlands as part of a wider strategy to drive growth. The manufacturer moved into a period property as part of the switch, which allows the firm to better serve its existing national client base, as well expand its operations across the region.

A crucial component to the firm’s future growth, the new offices in Sandiacre are nestled between Nottingham and Derby. The firm looks to add to its stellar customer base, which includes renowned brands such as Rolls Royce, Bentley and Magellan Aerospace.

Wenzel Metrology is a world leader in coordinate measuring technology, providing highly accurate measurement equipment across a wide variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, power generation and medical technology. Its machines, which have an install base of more than 10,000 worldwide, are used to provide highly accurate measurements of specialist equipment, including aero engines, car bodies and medical joints.

“It’s great to be here in the East Midlands. The new location opens up a wealth of opportunity not only in terms of our existing clients but also for expanding our operations across the country with our top engineering talent. This is a company with more than 50 years’ experience in providing highly accurate metrology solutions to some of the biggest brands in the world, so we can’t wait to let even more people know of the quality offered by Wenzel machinery,” commented on the move Steve Hughes, managing director of Wenzel Metrology UK.
