A family of UK engineering and manufacturing companies

Unitech Shyre is part of the Unitech group of manufacturing companies, headquartered at Unitech House in Burntwood, Staffordshire. The group’s companies share a common manufacturing heritage in stainless steel fabrication and hygienic equipment, and have grown into specialisms spanning industrial washing and cleaning systems, paint finishing, commercial catering equipment, materials handling, packaging and inspection, and construction and fit-out.

Within the group, Unitech Shyre applies that manufacturing base to a narrower and more technical field: automated precision cleaning and dip coating systems for process-critical applications in ophthalmic, medical, semiconductor, optical and automotive manufacturing. The stainless steel tanks and frames used in Unitech Shyre’s machines are fabricated in-group by Unitech Engineering, before assembly and test at Unitech Shyre’s own facility in Brownhills.

The companies in the group are listed below, each with a link to its own website.
