MTA Member!

GripTec are proud to be an MTA Member.

The MTA exists to promote the interests, and be the voice of the manufacturing technologies sector in the UK.

The Manufacturing Technologies Association is the UK’s trade association for companies in the manufacturing technology sector. MTA members design, manufacture and supply the advanced machinery, equipment and intellectual property that enable the creation of the products we rely on from day to day and that drive our economy.

Established in 1919, the MTA has been at the core of the UK’s engineering-based manufacturing economy for more than a century.

Key aspects of manufacturing technology include machine tools, cutting tools, metrology (measuring) equipment, Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing), surface finishing, robotics and computer-aided design and manufacturing products (CAD/CAM). In addition, there is the technology enabling the digitalisation of manufacturing – known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0. These aspects combine to make the complete systems – increasingly automated and adaptive – deployed by manufacturers to make the sector fundamental to the prosperity, health and defence of the nation.
