At the end of last year, we took delivery of a shiny new 3D AOI (Automatic Optical Inspection). The Mirtec MV-3 OMNI to be precise. This machine is equipped with the best performing cameras in the world, has a fantastic projector and lighting system and excellent software integration.

As the colder winter weather sets in we think about helping those that are less fortunate than ourselves.

Supply chain challenges are still all around, and our procurement team are working wonders to source product from all corners of the world to keep up with customer demand. We are proud to have an extremely professional team, who are relentless in their search for components and who will always go the extra mile.

This is an area of specialty for Texcel and over the years we have been involved in projects all over the world. Most of our projects are bespoke and products are made to customer specific requirements.

Texcel Technology Plc has been established for 40 years. Initially the company specialised in the design and manufacture of electronic ship loading computers. The original management team of William Bryce and Ken Luscombe had many years' experience working with this equipment. The company then grew into contract electronic manufacturing. The company stopped manufacturing loading computers but continued the Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS), coupled with system and circuit design.

The innovation and focused service capabilities of the business have helped to grow the company to its current size. The management team of Andy McLeod and Peter Shawyer have seen the business maintain a healthy growth, based firmly on honest partnerships with stable customers.
