Gimson Robotics: ABOUT US

The Automated Systems Specialist

The Automated Systems Specialist

From our start in 2011, we have grown to become one of the most prominent suppliers of linear actuators and associated electrical and mechanical hardware in the United Kingdom, releasing many exclusively-developed products along the way. The company was founded and is managed by Ewan Gimson, a Mechanical Engineering graduate from the University of Bristol, and inherits a family tradition of work in design and technology industries.

From our industrial unit in Bristol, we cover both the mechanical and electrical sides of automated systems. Many of the products we sell were designed and developed in-house, and several started life as custom solutions for clients. Most of our work today is for commercial customers, supplying OEM versions of our actuators and motor controllers or developing new products from scratch. See our Custom Development & OEM page for more.

We're a small team made up exclusively of engineers and technicians, with no sales or marketing staff. That means when you contact us, you're speaking directly to the people who design, build, and test the products. Decisions happen fast, and nothing gets lost in translation. Our size makes us agile and fast to respond to new technologies, including the use of AI to improve our internal processes and products.
