Industrial gases and engineering
company BOC has become the latest
member of the flagship
Manufacturing Technology Centre in
Coventry. The MTC is a key part of
the UK Government’s drive to make
the UK the home of advanced
manufacturing technologies. It forms
part of the first of a series of
Technology Innovation Centres or
‘Catapult’ centres, developing new
processes and products for 21st
century engineering projects.

The agreement allows BOC, a
Member of The Linde Group, to
become a partner in these
development projects with other
members of the centre such as Rolls-
Royce, Airbus, The National Physical
Laboratory and The Welding
Institute. As a leading supplier of
industrial gases and related

ideally placed to provide expertise
and specific gas technologies to
