These were augmented by a number of orders for smaller automation projects demonstrating the varied scope of the projects the company undertakes.

Among the highlight events of the last 35 years, include the launch of CKF Systems Limited in 1988, following the founding of its engineering predecessor in 1973.

The new company expanded into conveyor systems, mainly in the demanding food and beverage manufacturing sector, and as its reputation spread, so too did successful projects across continental Europe, Scandinavia, the Middle East, Far East and the Americas.

In 2013, CKF Systems was one of the first three companies in the UK to be awarded ABB value provider status and in 2014, a new 2,200 sqm factory, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities for CKF’s engineering team, was purchased.

2020 saw a mutually agreed management buy-out take place and a new board of directors were appointed.

The company is now growing the team to meet increased demand from the industry and is seeking to add talented engineers across a range of disciplines including Sales, Proposals (Concept Engineering), Projects, Skilled Technicians.
