About this employer
Euroteck Systems was started in 2000, and is a privately owned limited company, part of the HTSL Group of businesses. Euroteck Systems founders have many years’ experience working in NDT service positions, and so the business was started to further the competition in this market. This is unlike many companies that grow from a sales background and only later add after-sales, service and engineering capabilities. At Euroteck we decided, right from the beginning, that a high quality after-sales capability would be critical to winning new business. Consequently, our prime directive has always been that we will not sell what we cannot support. By locating our factory in Tamworth, in the Midlands, we are based centrally within the UK, and close to the motorway network and two international airports ensuring that our well-equipped Field Service Engineers are able to reach the majority of our clients within a few hours, responding to emergency breakdowns in the shortest possible time. In addition we hold extensive spares of most critical items, so that we can easily arrange to exchange defective parts to get our customers up and running again quickly.
