Renishaw is one of the world's leading engineering and scientific technology companies, with expertise in precision measurement and healthcare. We supply products and services used in applications as diverse as jet engine and wind turbine manufacture, through to dentistry and brain surgery. Our metrology products help manufacturers to maximise production output, to significantly reduce the time taken to produce and inspect components, and to keep their machines running reliably. In the fields of industrial automation and motion systems, our position measurement and calibration systems allow machine builders to manufacture highly accurate and reliable products. For example, our position encoders ensure accurate linear and rotary motion control in a wide range of applications from electronics, flat panel displays, robotics and semiconductors to medical, precision machining and print production. These include magnetic encoders, incremental optical encoders, absolute optical encoders and laser interferometer encoders. We are also a world leader in the field of metal additive manufacturing (3D printing) with machines that produce parts from metal powder. Our healthcare technologies are helping within applications such as craniomaxillofacial surgery, dentistry, neurosurgery, tissue and biofluid analysis. These include engineering solutions for stereotactic neurosurgery and the supply of specially configured metal additive manufacturing systems for medical and dental applications. We have 80 offices in 36 countries, with over 4,500 employees. Around 94% of sales are derived from exports and our major markets are the USA, China, Germany and Japan. The majority of our R&D and manufacturing is carried out in the UK.
