About Us
Established in 2005 Glenhead Engineering offers customers a complete integrated service, from problem-solving and design to manufacture and assembly, we put customer care at the heart of everything we do.
Our History
Based on the banks of the River Clyde near Glasgow in Scotland, Glenhead Engineering is built upon a long history of engineering skill in the area and we are proud to carry on this heritage. Glenhead purchased the property, plant and machinery of the former Clydesdale Tool & Gauge engineering company, took on many of the former employees and retained many long-term customers. Some of our engineers have over 40 years of experience in engineering but we have some of the most modern CNC machinery in the industry. We take pride in investing and planning for the future through up-to-date technology, staff training, and our apprenticeship programme.
