Measure-Rite Ltd was established in 1987 and is based in Rugby, close to the heart of the UK motor industry which is its primary market. It is a small family based company that due to its flexibility has been able to adapt to the various challenges posed by the changing needs of the motor industry.
Although the office is based in Rugby we have a number of locations in Coventry, Warwick and Birmingham where we store our used equipment to ensure stock is available for immediate use. It employs a number of service engineers that install, maintain and service the products it sells. Measure-rite Ltd also works in partnership with a number of machine delivery companies that also supply the required heavy duty lifting equipment.
Originally Measure-rite Ltd supplied both new and used 3D Co-ordinate Measuring machines (CMMs) and cast iron tables to the automotive industry. With the decline of large scale car manufacturing in the UK, Measure-Rite Ltd was able to adapt to the changes and explore new markets.
In the UK it focused on the low volume production and prototype build companies to sell its used CMMs. It expanded its market by creating an export division, supplying CMMS to Asia whose large volume car manufacturing was growing. Measure-Rite Ltd also entered a new market by supplying new cast iron tables. These are imported from China and used for a variety of purposes including the testing of various vehicle components.
