Prodtex Background information
At Prodtex, we’re driven by a deep passion for advanced manufacturing, cutting-edge technology, and the relentless pursuit of better solutions. As specialists in manufacturing and digital technologies, we design, simulate, and optimise both existing production systems and the factories of the future.
Our work spans the development of innovative manufacturing solutions, robotics, intelligent tooling, and Industry 4.0 focused strategies. In our day to day, we regularly apply DFMA principles, ergonomic simulations, robotics and process engineering to create advanced systems using DELMIA 3DEXPERIENCE.
Our mission is simple but ambitious: to accelerate the adoption of transformative manufacturing technologies that improve quality, efficiency, and sustainability across industries. We take pride in delivering thoughtful, practical solutions that make a real impact and value.
In the UK, our focus is primarily on the Aerospace and Construction sectors, but we actively welcome engineers from all backgrounds. We believe that diversity of experience fuels innovation, and that great ideas can come from anywhere. Our international offices in Sweden and Norway expand our reach into Automotive, Automation, and Marine industries, offering exciting opportunities for collaboration.
As a small but agile team, excellence is not optional: it’s essential. That’s why we foster a culture of continuous learning, mutual support, and curiosity. We challenge ourselves and each other to ask, “Is there a better way?” and then we engineer it.
If you’re excited by the idea of working on cutting-edge aerospace projects, driving meaningful change in construction, or developing the next generation of manufacturing technology, methods and software, we’d love to hear from you.
