Domin, a pioneering force in the hydraulics industry, recently celebrated the grand opening of their state-of-the-art Technology Centre in Bristol.

Domin's vision to revolutionise the hydraulics industry, redefining how we use energy and creating a novel way to control motion, was at the centre of the conversation for guests as they explored the Domin Technology Centre.

The new Domin Technology Centre is the consolidation of the company's high-tech engineering and manufacturing facilities, bringing various sites across Europe and Bristol into one, where the Domin team have streamlined operations and optimised efficiency.

This is enabling the team to rapidly develop and produce its innovative hydraulic motion control systems. The company aims to radically increase efficiency and intelligence in motion control across various applications in globally important industries.

Guests and attendees enjoyed tours of the new factory, describing it as smart, professional, innovative, and high performing. The Domin team received accolades for their dedication and enthusiasm towards their mission, making it clear that they are not just employees but passionate visionaries.

Jim Hennen, the Business Development Manager for hydraulic platforms from MTS Systems, part of the ITW family, said: “Domin is such an inspirational company for innovation and is creating really a disruptive technology. It is very exciting and the team here some of the best and the brightest.”

A highlight was the official inauguration of the Domin Technology Centre by the Member of Parliament and Minister of State at the Department for Business and Trade, Nusrat Ghani MP.

The Minister said she was impressed by Domin's cutting-edge technology and its potential to transform industries. She praised the company's vision and commitment to innovation.

“What I've seen here at Domin is absolutely fascinating. I am very excited for what it means for advanced manufacturing across all the sectors," she said.

"Not only reducing the impact on the environment, so reducing the demand for energy, but also for advancing technology in the automotive, aviation, and the maritime sector”.
