NIS Ltd Home About Us Capability Facilities Standards Careers Social Impact News Contact Us Legal About Us Established in 1983, we have a long and proud track record of delivering high quality, often bespoke, products and services across a broad range of markets. From initial contact through to work completion, our Excellent People offer customer focused, pragmatic engineering services. Although bespoke solutions are one of our specialities, we also recognise the benefits of utilising and integrating existing technologies. Frequently drawing on our many years of experience and diverse industry presence, our focus is to deliver value-for-money engineering excellence to our current and future clients. We are privileged to work for a wide variety of prestigious clients on some of the most exciting and complex engineering projects in the world. From cleaning up nuclear legacies to developing the next generation of security scanning products, the one thing all our projects demand is excellence in engineering and manufacturing. Achieving that excellence is at the forefront of everything we do, working to the values that we have embedded within our people. This ensures that we perform to the very best of our collective abilities to deliver pragmatic, cost-effective services – powered by pride. Civil Nuclear From new build and operations to waste treatment and decommissioning, we offer practical solutions for the most complex of nuclear challenges. With over 35 years' experience in the civil nuclear sector, we can provide a wide range of services, including fuel and waste handling, gloveboxes, hot cells, shield doors, flasks and mechanical systems. Defence Nuclear We are hugely proud of the work we do to support the national defence programme. With security-accredited processes, people and facilities, we provide production capability to a number of sites around the UK through the provision of specialist plant and equipment, including process and handling systems and gloveboxes. Science and Technology We have a long and proud history of providing robotics, automation and mechanical handling equipment to a variety of technology sectors, including aerospace, food, medical and security. Building on the vast experience we have gained in these sectors, we are now transferring our expertise to the academic, laboratory, healthcare and 'big science' industries. Capability We provide bespoke design and manufacture of plant and equipment by the transfer of technology across a wide range of markets. Engineering Our highly skilled multidisciplinary design teams have a wealth of experience, derived from many years of delivering solutions across multiple high technology industries. Design has been an integral part of our service offering since our formation, providing full engineering life cycle support ranging from concept, scheme and detail design through to complete manufacturing readiness, validation and commissioning. Constructability We are one of only a few companies that have such a strong pedigree in truly designing for manufacture. From our experience, early engagement with our technical teams in terms of constructability can lead to more pragmatic designs being produced and a significant reduction in risk profile once a project moves through to the manufacturing stage. To facilitate this, we can provide support to the client in terms of technical constructability reviews and guidance for manufacture at any point of the engineering life cycle. Manufacturing Our in-house mechanical and electrical manufacturing capability is renowned throughout the industry for providing high class bespoke solutions, working to precise specifications to achieve our clients’ individual requirements. The production of complex, high integrity structures to exacting standards is one of our core competencies. Working from either our own manufacturing details or building to client design, we can produce a diverse range of products manufactured from numerous common and exotic materials. Integration and Assembly To complement our manufacturing capability, we have further SQEP mechanical and electrical project build teams for assembly and testing, enabling us to provide a fully developed equipment and process integration service. As system integrators, we are adept at upgrading existing client systems to new, more effective solutions. The integration of 'off the shelf' and bespoke equipment into an existing process or plant enhancement can often create new risks due to compatibility issues with interfacing equipment. We are highly experienced at identifying and mitigating such risks, giving our clients complete confidence in our chosen design solution. We also have wide experience in the integration of industrial robots into fully commissioned manufacturing systems. Site Support Our team of mechanical and electrical installation and commissioning engineers are also available and equipped with the knowledge, skills and accreditations to work/support in a wide range of environments throughout the world. We also have several security cleared personnel available to provide installation supervision to client contracts. Facilities Our technical facilities are specifically set up to deliver services to the nuclear, manufacturing, aerospace and food industries. We are a COVID-19 Secure Workplace.

Social Impact We are extremely proud of the activities we undertake to support our industries, schools and local community groups. Our award-winning STEM programme has seen us engage and positively impact young people all over the UK, as well as helping to develop and grow our own talent pool for the future. We have a proud track record of leading and delivering socio-economic programmes of work, particularly in support of the National Nuclear Skills Agenda. Through the implementation of our well-established Social Impact Policy and Programme, we recognise our responsibilities to our communities, people, industries and environment and are committed to continually improving the benefits they deliver. Our approach is holistic, in that our primary aim is to support the national strategy and then tailor specific activities to meet more specific client or geographical requirements. Having worked within the nuclear sector for over 35 years, we understand the unique socio-economic challenges many of the sites face and we continually review our activities to ensure they meet industry-specific aspirations and expectations as well as our own.
