Our goal is to help the North West region’s manufacturing community access advanced technologies that will drive improvements in productivity, performance and quality.

AMRC North West is a gateway development, built using a £20m grant from the Lancashire Enterprise Partnership (LEP) Growth Deal, on the Samlesbury Aerospace Enterprise Zone.

We are playing a key role in driving recovery, growth, productivity, and innovation, supporting Lancashire firms to compete nationally and internationally. The high-performing technical research and development team enhances the manufacturing base of Lancashire, working with both manufacturing companies and their supply chains.

Whether you are a large company or an SME manufacturer who wants to improve your productivity, or if you just want to know more about how AMRC North West can help you – we want to hear from you.
