Special purpose machinery (SPM) is equipment designed and built to perform a specific manufacturing task that no standard, off-the-shelf machine can handle. Expert Technologies Group has been designing and building bespoke special purpose machinery from our Coventry headquarters for over 50 years, from single-station machines through to full multi-station automated systems.
Every machine is engineered from scratch around your exact process, tolerances and production volumes, then delivered as a turnkey solution: we own the project from concept and design through build, factory acceptance testing, installation and commissioning. Our special purpose machinery runs on production lines for automotive, aerospace, medical device, modular building and EV propulsion manufacturers across the UK and worldwide.
So, if you believe that we at ETG are the go-to team for your special purpose machinery, you need only get in touch with us today. You can call us on +44 2476 428 500 to find out more.
The Premier Team for Special Purpose Machinery
When it comes to having machinery purpose built for the automotive and aerospace industry, you will want to make sure you are working with a reliable and professional team. After all, this machinery needs to be of the highest quality and built to exacting specifications set out by the industry. It is for these reasons that so many clients choose to work with us at ETG, as we offer the very best bespoke services for special purpose machinery in the modular building and EV propulsion.
We have been building and supplying high specification machinery for many years now and have acquired a wealth of knowledge. This experience and knowledge ensures that, whatever your specific requirements may be for specialist machinery, we will know exactly how to proceed with the job.

Our Range of Special Purpose Machinery
Here at ETG, we have experience with a wide array of purpose built machinery, from single and multiple robotics to rotary index systems and assembly lines. You need to implement a system that increases productivity, especially in the automotive and aerospace industry, and we can help with this. By implementing high-tech machinery into the process of manufacturing fast moving consumer goods, you can eliminate human error and speed the process up.
When it comes to assembly lines, you may be considering robotic automation systems, and our team can provide single or multiple systems. These are perfect for assembly, packaging, and product inspection applications. You can rely on robotic automation in the medical device (MedTech) industry for speed, precision, and a high level of endurance.
We also provide rotary indexing systems, which are designed to provide a simple way of transporting between assembly and test stations. We can build a synchronous or an asynchronous machine depending on your process and requirements. Either a servo motor or a fixed speed motor can be used to power this rotary indexing motion directly.
Additionally, we can provide you with automated assembly lines. We have developed several automation platforms with machines that can be either rotary or in-line depending on your requirements.
Special Purpose Machinery for Your Sector
We build special purpose machinery for the sectors with the most demanding tolerances and traceability requirements:
- Automotive: body-in-white, powertrain assembly, riveting and end-of-line test systems.
- Aerospace: flow lines, composite tooling and precision assembly.
- Medical device: automated assembly and testing built to ISO 13485.
- Modular building: panel and module production lines.
- EV propulsion: battery and electrification assembly systems.
Each machine is built on the right architecture for the task. We build synchronous or asynchronous rotary indexing machines, in servo or fixed-speed drive, as single robotic cells or full multi-station lines with integrated inspection and test.
In addition to this, we at ETG can offer a wide range of other services too. These include:
- Engineering Services
- Welding and Joining Engineering
- Jigs & Fixtures
- 3d Printing
- Modular Building
- And More!

Special Purpose Machinery FAQs
What is special purpose machinery?
Special purpose machinery (SPM) is equipment designed and built for a specific manufacturing task that no standard machine can perform. It is engineered around a particular product, process and production volume rather than adapted from a general-purpose platform.
What is the difference between special purpose machinery and standard machinery?
Standard machinery is mass-produced for general tasks. Special purpose machinery is custom-engineered for one specific application, giving higher accuracy, better cycle times and a closer fit to your process.
What does turnkey special purpose machinery mean?
Turnkey means the supplier manages the whole project, from design and build through factory acceptance testing, installation and commissioning, so the machine is ready to run on handover.
Which industries use special purpose machinery?
Automotive, aerospace, medical device, modular building and EV propulsion manufacturers all use special purpose machinery where standard equipment cannot meet their tolerances or process requirements.
How long does it take to build a bespoke machine?
Lead time depends on complexity, but every project starts with a consultation to define requirements, followed by design, build, testing and commissioning. Get in touch for an indicative timeline for your application.
