Call UsOur History
2016 - Moved to Tellams Yard
On 2 November 2016, the company officially relocated its registered office from Crediton to its permanent premises at Tellams Yard, Cheriton Bishop, near Exeter. The move provided significantly more workshop space, enabling the business to consolidate its operations and house heavy machinery—including lathes and CNC milling machines—under a single roof. This expansion supported the company's continued growth and increased production capacity.
2017 - Purchased and Incorporated Exe-Engineering
In 2017, MMK Engineering acquired and integrated Exe-Engineering into its expanding business, further strengthening its capabilities and regional presence. During this period, MMK Engineering built a strong reputation for its rapid-response engineering services, providing swift on-site support to minimise operational downtime. Notable regional clients, including Devon Contract Waste Ltd, relied on MMK's fast and effective troubleshooting expertise to help prevent significant revenue losses during critical plant shutdowns.
2018 - Purchased and Incorporated MR Engineering
In 2018, MMK acquired and integrated MR Engineering into its operations, significantly expanding its heavy industrial refurbishment capabilities. This strategic acquisition enabled MMK to secure contracts with cement manufacturing plants, undertaking the removal, overhaul, and reinstallation of large-scale raw material grinding drums and other critical processing equipment. The addition of MR Engineering strengthened MMK's position within the industrial maintenance and refurbishment sector, broadening both its expertise and service offering.
2019 - Purchased and Incorporated CS Engineering
In 2019, MMK acquired CS Engineering and incorporated it into the expanding engineering firm, enhancing its expertise and service offering.
2020 - Expanded the workshop by 20,000 square feet
In 2020, the workshop was expanded by 20,000 square feet, enabling the installation of high-capacity machinery, including a 6-metre Butler Elgamill bed capable of machining large 3-metre sawmill components, alongside advanced CNC plasma cutting equipment. This investment significantly increased production capacity and broadened MMK's manufacturing capabilities. During this period, MMK also began designing, fabricating, and welding bespoke aluminium lorry bodies, as well as custom sliding walkways with integrated safety chains for civil engineering concrete pavers.
2024 - ISO 9001 & BS EN1090 Certified
In 2024, the company achieved ISO 9001 and BS EN 1090 certification
2025 - 10 Years of MMK and Specialized Engineering
In 2025, marking 10 years of MMK and its specialised engineering division, the company reached a significant achievement by designing and fully manufacturing tracked mobile tunnel platforms along with steel and aluminium work platforms. These systems are purpose-built for use in active railway tunnels, where space constraints, safety requirements, and continuous rail operations make standard access equipment unsuitable.
2026 - Present Day Operations
MMK Engineering is a nationwide engineering business offering design, installation, and maintenance services. Since 2015, it has built a strong reputation for quality and reliability across all project types.
