Our History
Eley's History is that of an industry leader. Founded in 1976; for over 40 years Eley Metrology has and continue to be at the forefront of Metrology. As the worldwide demand for metrology solutions increases Eley has evolved to lead the field with quality and accurate, Bespoke & Special Purpose Precision Measuring Equipment.
In the words of our founder and Managing Director Jeff Eley;
"It began with an ambition and a burning desire’ – to design manufacture and create a range of Co-ordinate Measuring Machines along with other allied Metrology products.
Accuracy, performance and quality were like an oxygen that fanned a flame in a quest for the unachievable; perfection and infinity – where the only real satisfaction is the knowledge that this is the best that could be achieved at a point.
With immensely capable and enthusiastic colleagues I have pursued the quest, drawing ever closer to that impossible goal.
In the world of market forces, a compromise is struck between excellence required and ‘how much will it cost?’ Eley’s products must be affordable, they must offer value for money. It is my belief that they do.
I would like you to be as confident as I am that purchasing one of our products will prove to be the right decision. If it is not, I would like to be the first to know.
I promise to make it my prime interest that customer satisfaction is guaranteed."
Jeff’s words certainly ring as true today as they did then.
