What Unitech Machinery does

Unitech Machinery is a UK-based manufacturer and supplier of industrial paint finishing systems, operating from a single state-of-the-art facility in Burntwood, Staffordshire. The company's portfolio centres on two equipment families: spray booths (automotive, industrial, dry filter, water wash, and powder coat variants) and industrial ovens (industrial, heat treatment, box/curing, dry off, and powder cure), complemented by pre-treatment systems, paint mix rooms, full turnkey integration, acoustic enclosures and walls, and an energy-saving product suite (modulating burners, smart airflow controls, LED lighting, warm air recovery, and flash off systems). All systems are designed and manufactured in-house using 3D CAD modelling, with PLC-based programmable controls managing airflow, temperature, filter condition, and cycle data.

The business operates a consultative, project-based sales model in which senior engineers conduct initial consultations, site surveys, and 3D visualisation before design, manufacturing, installation, commissioning, and after-sales support, with a dedicated project manager as a single point of contact. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific; revenue streams include custom equipment manufacturing, installation and turnkey project services, and after-sales maintenance and spare parts. Unitech serves enterprise and mid-market customers across automotive OEM and refinish, aerospace, rail and commercial vehicles, powder coating operations, and industrial manufacturing (including can-making and metal packaging) in the UK, with select international project delivery.

The company is privately held under the legal entity Unitech Industries Limited, registered in England, with 11-50 employees and no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity. Its customer base includes Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Collins Aerospace, JCB, Jaguar Land Rover, Magna, Dürr, Dennis Eagle, Flexitallic, and Portsmouth Aviation, alongside long-tenured mid-market accounts such as Stormking and Cherry Products.
