Tracing the Precision Engineering Legacy
This chapter explores the history and evolution of a precision engineering company founded in 1973. It highlights key innovations, the impact of its founders, and the challenges the company faces as they prepare for retirement.
Today, we are breaking down Renishaw, a leading supplier of measuring and manufacturing systems, specifically focused on accuracy and precision. What does that mean in layman's terms? Renishaw is a picks and shovels provider to many of the fastest-growing end markets in the world. The company designs and develops systems for anything revolving around semiconductors, robotics, and medical devices.
To break down Renishaw, I'm joined by Matt Tonge, fund manager at Liontrust Asset Management. Matt helps simplify this business, describing both the customer base and exactly what is going on with these precision tools. We get into some of its unique dynamics of revenue and R&D and what the opportunity set is for a business like Renishaw. Please enjoy this business breakdown of Renishaw.
