What Wiltech Acoustics does

Wiltech Acoustics Ltd is a UK specialist noise control engineering and manufacturing company headquartered in Old Dalby, Leicestershire, with approximately 50,000 sq ft of manufacturing capacity across two sites. The company designs, fabricates and installs bespoke acoustic enclosures, silencers, attenuator systems, drop-over canopies and modular panel systems used to attenuate noise from industrial equipment (pumps, fans, compressors) and power generation assets (diesel and gas gensets, CHP plants, transformers, UPS systems, substations). Its product portfolio includes proprietary systems such as the Uniclosure modular enclosure (20-35dBA reduction) and Sound Havens operator respite cabins, supported by in-house acoustic testing facilities (anechoic chambers, reverberation rooms, impedance tubes) certified to standards including BS EN ISO 11546-2:2009.

The company operates a full turnkey service model — from acoustic survey and assessment through engineering, manufacture and on-site installation — delivered via enterprise field sales to UK-based industrial, power generation, power distribution and OEM customers. Pricing is project-based and bespoke, typically structured as multi-year contracts. Wiltech is a subsidiary of The Wilmott Group (founded 1983), which in 2024 announced a tentative agreement to be acquired by Rehlko (formerly Kohler Energy), positioning Wiltech within a global energy resilience group's EMEA operations. The company's heritage in noise control dates to 1890.
