...materials consultancy for industry

 

 

About us

DRB Materials Technology Ltd. was founded 29 years ago by Derek Bates as a materials consultancy firm. In 2006 we acquired the operating interests of Bayworth Plastics & Rubber and updated our corporate image and structure and are now known as Materials Technology Ltd.

Today we undertake work for a wide range of industries, investigating engineering problems. In 2008 we acquired brand new premises with larger laboratory facilities and purpose designed office facilities. We are based in the Rushington Business Park between Totton and Ashurst on the edge of the New Forest and within easy access to the M27.
