About Us

Intelligent Systems and Solutions for Industrial Metrology and Inspection

Agility with purpose has defined our journey from the start. We aim to inspire and challenge our customers, encouraging the exploration of solutions beyond traditional legacy expectations. As passionate innovators, we are proud to be the first organisation to achieve UKAS accreditation for ISO 10360-7 (CMM with optical probe) and more recently for optical shaft instruments. This stands as clear proof of our expertise in Optical Metrology.

Our mission is simple, to advance the understanding of Optical Metrology in industrial applications. This deep internal knowledge allows us to support your everyday calibration needs and assist customers who are pushing the limits of precision engineering.

We have long believed that Optical would outshine legacy measurement technologies. Its strengths, including high data density, non-contact operation, speed and resolution, are now fully enabled by modern PC architecture. The future of measurement is bright.

It is a privilege to lead Optimax with an exceptional team. We look forward to welcoming you to our Metrology Suite and sharing our passion for precision.

CEO and Head of UKAS Lab

Their knowledge and expertise is exceptional, they provide honest, independent advice. Optimax are quick to provide options and solutions for our inspection requirements. They work hard to deliver a solution that 100% fits the application rather than just supplying a product. Optimax work with us to ensure we achieve our inspection objectives – they are one of the first companies I turn to.

Bruce Daggett, Senior Aerospace Weston, Inspection Team Leader

For over 14 years Optimax has been providing us with inspection equipment, service and most importantly expertise. We need suppliers that can go the extra mile in looking specifically at our application and then providing a suitable and sometimes bespoke solution, and this is where Optimax have really made a difference

John Harris, Director, Nevo Developments

Optimax have an extensive product range that was very attractive to us. They took the time to understand my requirements and align a solution that fitted into my manufacturing processes. They were very knowledgeable and friendly, I found the virtual demonstration extremely helpful. The outcome of the project has been very successful and performs above expectations. I would definitely recommend Optimax.
