UK specialist engineering company MintMech has opened a new design and manufacturing facility at Kernick Industrial Estate in Penryn, Cornwall, according to Business Live, marking a significant milestone for the company as it moves to deliver more complex projects across the marine, offshore and mining sectors.

The new Automation Manufacturing and Engineering Centre (AMEC) spans approximately 750 square metres and combines a 30-seat design engineering office with dedicated workshop and yard space. The facility brings analysis, design, build and commissioning capability together under one roof for the first time.

Director and co-founder Jack Berryman said: "MintMech turns eight this August and our new headquarters marks a major milestone in the next chapter of what we do. It represents a step up in how we deliver projects. Through AMEC, we now bring analysis, design, build and commissioning together under one organisation."

MintMech delivers complete mechanical and hydraulic systems and commissions them across projects in the UK and overseas, with the new facility designed to extend the company's capacity to handle increasingly complex project requirements across its core markets.

Director and co-founder Laurie Thornton highlighted the facility's proximity to Falmouth University's Penryn Campus and Camborne School of Mines as an opportunity to retain engineering talent in the region, noting that graduates from those institutions too often end up working outside the UK.

The opening of AMEC positions MintMech to strengthen its project delivery capability at a time of growing demand for specialist mechanical and hydraulic engineering services across the marine, offshore and mining sectors, where the complexity and scale of individual projects continues to increase.

Located within an established industrial estate in Penryn, the facility also supports the company's ambition to contribute to Cornwall's engineering talent pipeline by providing local opportunities for graduates and early-career engineers entering the sector.

The investment reflects MintMech's confidence in sustained demand for specialist engineering services as the marine and mining industries accelerate their adoption of advanced mechanical systems and hydraulic technologies across both domestic and international project portfolios.
