About Us
Established in 1977, we are industry-leading sub-contract engineers.
The Progressive Technology Group is made of three specialist divisions:
- Progressive Advanced Machining, for CNC multi-axis machining
- Progressive Additive Manufacturing, for additive manufacturing (otherwise known as DMLS)
- Progressive Advanced Materials, for fully-finished carbon components, class-leading patterns and structural foams
We produce complicated work to extremely high standards, in very short timeframes, across the many sectors in which we work.
Continued growth is driven by our highly skilled workforce, operating state-of-the-art plant machinery with shifts running 24/7 for 365 days of the year.
We are award winning, approved AS9100 supplier to several leading Formula One teams, and we are trusted by many clients in the demanding Aerospace, Medical and Defence industries.
