A Specialist Engineering Company
Reliance Precision has over 60 years’ experience in providing custom-built, high reliability, precision instrumentation to customers from a diverse range of global markets. Our engineering capabilities include design, development, prototyping, manufacturing, assembly and test, complemented by a catalogue of precision motion control components and electro-mechanical assemblies.
Initial Concept to Final Application
Our product catalogue has been developed to provide a one-stop shop for the design engineer – from basic essentials, such as captive screws, to complete sub-assemblies for rotary and linear motion. We offer a carefully selected mix of in-house designed and manufactured products together with products from leading global manufacturers, all of which can be modified to suit individual requirements.
Our Customers
Our aim is to provide choice and flexibility for our customers – from standard ex-stock components to custom-designed and manufactured sub-systems, or even complete instruments. We are committed to understanding customers’ individual objectives, building strong technical working relationships, and applying our engineering skills and experience to help you introduce your products to market as smoothly as possible.

Growth & Expansion
In the 1980s the company expanded into scientific instrument assembly work, investing in cleanroom capabilities together with engineering skills in research, development and test, and this has become a further core focus for the business. Reliance has recently expanded into the Life Science industry focussing on laboratory automation solutions.
