Research & Development
At Kent Precision Products, our dedication to Research and Development (R&D) is central to our mission of delivering precision-engineered solutions. Our in-house services, from design consultation and prototyping to tooling and injection moulding, are reinforced by our ISO 9001 certification, ensuring rigorous quality control and continuous improvement. Our R&D objectives are designed to achieve advancements in science and technology by addressing and resolving scientific or technological uncertainties, as defined by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) guidelines. These guidelines specify that R&D for tax purposes occurs when a project seeks to achieve an advance in overall knowledge or capability in a field of science or technology, not merely within the company. For example, our development of prototype tooling and both aluminium and steel injection mould tooling involves overcoming technological challenges that contribute to advancements in manufacturing techniques.
Advancing science and technology is vital not only for our company's growth but also for the broader industry and society. Through R&D, we enhance our product offerings, improve efficiency, and reduce environmental impact. Our recent sustainability initiatives, such as installing solar panels and upgrading equipment to lower carbon emissions, demonstrate our commitment to technological advancement and environmental stewardship. Our investment in R&D allows us to reinvest in further innovation, fostering a cycle of continuous improvement and discovery. This means we can allocate additional resources to pioneering projects, ensuring that we remain at the forefront of technological advancements in our industry.
Our attitude means that we embrace every project as an opportunity to extend the capabilities and knowledge of our field. We pride ourselves on never saying no to a project, regardless of the challenge. This openness not only broadens our expertise but also contributes to the collective advancement of science and technology within the manufacturing sector. Witnessing our products in real-world settings, making impactful changes, is both gratifying and motivating. Whether it's a custom-moulded component enhancing the performance of medical devices or a precision-tooled part improving the efficiency of automotive systems, seeing the tangible benefits of our work reinforces the importance of our R&D efforts and inspires us to continue pushing the boundaries of innovation. In summary, Kent Precision Products' dedication to R&D highlights our commitment to driving innovation, achieving scientific and technological advancements, and delivering superior products and services to our clients and the UK.
