Your breakthrough product works. But is it ready to scale?
Too many businesses commit to production before their product, processes and manufacturing approach have been sufficiently validated. The result can be costly redesign, delays, quality issues or investment in solutions that will not support future scale.
MTC helps you bridge that gap. We combine engineering expertise, hands-on validation and independent evidence with the practical capability to prove manufacturability, develop production systems and put scalable manufacturing solutions into practice.
MTC's 600+ manufacturing experts help businesses move from product development to scalable production
Who we can help
We work with ambitious businesses of any size that have developed a promising product or advanced prototype and are preparing to move towards scalable production.

Success stories
Scale-Up in action
We’ve helped high potential businesses across Automotive, Agri-tech and advanced technology turn working products into scalable, repeatable manufacturing — through assessment led and direct delivery programmes — validating production routes, proving feasibility and scaling with confidence.
ELM Mobility — scaling without guessing
The Challenge
ELM needed to understand how a new product would scale — and prove production feasibility before committing to scale-up manufacturing at volumes up to 10,000 units per year.
The Outcome
- Assessed design and manufacturing options for scale to 10,000 units per year
- Identified the volume thresholds that trigger a change in manufacturing approach, avoiding early lock in to the wrong process
- Delivered a clear manufacturing roadmap and cost confidence, enabling informed budgeting and credible investor conversations

Hypermotive – unlocking scale beyond capacity
The Challenge
Hypermotive needed to expand capacity and improve efficiency – while de-risking scale-up manufacturing and avoiding unnecessary cost or complexity.
The Outcome
- Optimised production and manufacturing processes to reduce time per unit
- Achieved lower unit production costs through improved design and manufacturing decisions
- Enabled scale to be delivered within existing production runs rather than requiring new facilities
- Implemented 29% of recommended improvements directly into production, delivering significant cost savings
