Renishaw precision measurement equipment

Renishaw is a global leader in high-precision metrology and healthcare technology. Founded in 1973 by Sir David McMurtry and John Deer, the company built its reputation on the invention of the touch-trigger probe, which revolutionized coordinate measurement. Today, it provides essential equipment for manufacturing industries, including aerospace, automotive, and electronics.

While the company has expanded its manufacturing footprint to include facilities in Ireland, India, and Germany to serve global markets, the heart of its production and research remains in the United Kingdom. Renishaw operates several large-scale manufacturing sites in the South West of England and South Wales, maintaining high vertical integration to ensure the precision and quality of its components.

As of 2024 and beyond, Renishaw remains an independent public limited company listed on the London Stock Exchange. The founding chairmen continue to hold significant stakes in the firm, ensuring that the company maintains its long-term focus on innovation and engineering excellence. The brand is synonymous with British engineering expertise and continues to be headquartered in Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire.
