You will always look to deliver excellence and have a commitment to continued improvement at all levels.

Our Client 

Our client is a well established and highly innovative business that developed and delivered the ground-breaking concept of ECU testing and remanufacturing  - that was unique to the UK marketplace. It was facilitated by the construction of a manually operated universal real time engine simulator, that could be expanded and adapted to incorporate new systems and new technological changes as ECUs became common place in the 1990's. Since this time the company has expanded and is directly involved with sales, production, research and development within this sector. In 2019, the business was acquired by a US based company  becoming part of a globally owned company. It now  offers a range of remanufactured and new products. The current range has over 5000 part numbers, covering more than 20,000 original equipment and vehicle manufacturers part numbers.
