About NEL

NEL has been at the forefront of engineering development and innovation for more than 60 years.

The company was established in 1947 under the auspices of the UK Department for Trade and Industry (DTI) and quickly gained a reputation as a world-wide centre of excellence for engineering and mechanical research.

We were responsible for the development of British Standards for the safety of climbing ropes and worked on improving the efficiency of F1 Motor Racing brake fluids. We have been involved in flow system testing for over half a century and maintain and develop the UK's National Flow Measurement Standards.

In 1995 we became part of the TÜV SÜD Group. This gave NEL the backing of a strong and globally diverse parent and has allowed us to widen our customer base. While we retain our strong connections with central Government, we are equally highly regarded across private sector industries and are seen as a source of independence and excellence by our many clients.

Today we employ over 150 professionals and enjoy an international reputation in key technologies such as process engineering, flow measurement, pipeline fluid management systems and low carbon technologies. We also own some of the most modern and sophisticated test, analysis and experimental facilities in the world.
