What makes us different?

Ian Vaughan and Paul Nash began their careers in Metrology in the 1980’s, with Hahn & Kolb GB Ltd. This later became HK Technologies Ltd, which in those days was the UK sales and service representative for the Industrial Measurement Division of Carl Zeiss, Germany. With Paul as Director responsible for the Measurement and Testing Division and Ian as Product Manager, they developed their role in Precision Coordinate Metrology. This gave a firm foundation in supporting the UK manufacturing community with high quality capital products and services.

In 2006 Paul joined the National Physical Laboratories business development team with responsibility for developing the market for training in Dimensional measurement. During this period Paul and Ian renewed their cooperation through Hexagon Metrology Ltd, whom Ian was representing as their aftermarket sales manager with responsibility for delivering the NPL training framework.

Prior to this Ian had gained experience in the NDT testing field with Dr. Foerster in the UK and had worked within the medical device industry. In 2007 Paul was appointed the UK sales representative for Werth Messtechnik GmbH, and following substantial success this partnership became Werth Metrology Ltd. Ian and Paul identified an opportunity in the UK CMM market in 2009 and, with the support of Hexagon Metrology Ltd founded Mantech Geometrics Ltd.

Our business, founded with the shared principle of providing highest quality dimensional measurement products and 1st class support, led us into partnerships with UK based cmm manufacturer Aberlink, Machine Tool error mapping with the Hexagon AICON ETALON LaserTracer system, multi sensor & CT systems from Werth Metrology UK, high-precision fixture solutions and loading systems from Fixture-Tech, Augmented Reality Inspection from CDM Vision SuPAR, and most recently, horizontal arm cmm’s from Stiefelmayer Messtechnik.

Mantech Geometrics are also proud members of the GTMA
