About Us
Engineering Confidence for Mission-Critical Applications
At Kontron UK, we help organisations design, build and support technology solutions for applications where reliability is critical and failure is not an option.
From defence and aerospace to industrial automation, transportation, communications and energy, our customers trust us to deliver systems that perform in demanding environments and remain supportable throughout their operational life.
We are more than a hardware supplier.
Our team combines embedded computing, systems integration, software development, manufacturing and lifecycle support expertise to help customers solve complex technical challenges. Whether the requirement is a rugged deployed platform, a bespoke embedded system, a software enabled solution or a complete turnkey programme, we work alongside our customers to deliver the right outcome.
Designed, Built and Supported in the UK
Unlike many technology providers, we maintain engineering, manufacturing, testing, logistics and support capabilities within our UK operation.
This allows us to retain control throughout the project lifecycle, providing customers with greater visibility, faster response times, configuration control and long-term product consistency.
Every project benefits from direct access to experienced engineers and a team that understands the importance of reliability, traceability and lifecycle management.
Local Expertise, Global Resources
As part of the global Kontron Group, we combine the responsiveness of a UK-based engineering business with the strength of an international technology organisation.
Our customers gain access to worldwide development resources, advanced manufacturing capabilities and a broad portfolio of embedded computing, Industrial IoT, edge computing and mission critical technologies, while continuing to work with a dedicated UK team that understands their requirements.
Built on More Than 30 Years of Experience
Our business has evolved continually to meet the changing needs of our customers.
A key milestone was the integration of Industrial Computers Ltd into Kontron UK in 2017, bringing together complementary expertise in embedded computing, manufacturing and systems integration. The combined organisation moved into a single facility in Easthampnett in 2018, creating the foundation for the business that serves our customers today.
While our capabilities have expanded significantly, our focus remains unchanged: helping customers reduce risk, accelerate deployment and deliver successful technology programmes.

Our Mission
Our Purpose
To help customers develop, deploy and support technology solutions that perform when it matters most.
Our Promise
We engineer confidence.
Because the most important measure of success is not the technology itself, but the confidence our customers have in deploying it.
Integration and Design
You specify – We integrate.
We’re experts in providing a revision-controlled integration service, with custom designs and builds using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) or fully custom components. You tell us the specification that you need, we’ll build it, test it and deliver it to you – the same build every time. We’ll even install and configure your software if you so wish.
You set the build & test process – We implement it.
We have a wealth of experience in building and testing custom computers. But if you have some specific instructions about how you would like your computers built and tested, you can define that process and we will work with it. We will turn your ideas or build documentation into a fully revision-controlled document which is used whenever we build your computers.
You choose the components – We assemble.
Want to source some of the components yourself, and free-issue them to us? That’s not a problem. You can tell us exactly which components you’d like in your custom-built Industrial or Military PC, and either have us source them for you, or source them yourself and free-issue to us.
Your logo, your brand – Your product.
Do you resell computers as part of your own product or system? Maybe you sell a customised and configured PC as your own stand-alone product? Then you probably want the computer to appear as one of your own products. We offer a full custom branding service – your own company name or logo can be applied to the computers that we build, either silk-screen painted or stick-on.
