Chartered Engineering Expertise Based in Cardiff
Elemeca is headquartered in Cardiff, part of Wales's growing advanced manufacturing and engineering corridor.
We are a Cardiff-based engineering consultancy providing technical consulting, design, analysis, prototyping, and engineering training services to businesses in Wales and across the UK.
We believe Wales needs a world-class engineering consultancy that is genuinely local: present for in-person work, able to support Welsh SMEs and scale-ups without London pricing, and connected to the Welsh engineering and innovation ecosystem.
In-Person Where It Matters
We are available for on-site visits, workshops, and embedded working across Wales and the UK. For clients based in Cardiff and the surrounding area, including Newport, Swansea, Bristol, Gloucester and the wider M4 and M5 corridor — we can engage in person quickly and without travel overhead.
> Need agile, iterative, fast development? That's our DNA.
> Need right-first-time precision delivery? We do that too.
If you are based in Wales or the South West and need engineering support or training? We would be glad to hear what you are working on.
What We Offer Welsh Businesses
We provide the same calibre of engineering expertise you would expect from a London or Bristol firm, because our founders come from those environments, at commercially honest rates and with the flexibility that SMEs actually need.

Supporting Welsh Innovation
Wales has genuine engineering and manufacturing strength: in aerospace supply chain, advanced materials, energy systems, and precision engineering.
Elemeca is here to strengthen that ecosystem. We work with SMEs who need access to Chartered Engineer-level expertise without the overhead of employing senior engineers full-time, and with larger organisations who need burst capacity or specialist input on specific technical challenges.
We are active in the Welsh engineering community and support access to Innovate UK and Welsh Government innovation funding for technically driven projects.
