Amutec

**Amutec** was a kiddie ride company founded in 1985 at Mablethorpe in the UK. Between Amutec's foundation in the 1980s and 1996, Amutec worked with Bafco a lot. In 2008, Bandai Namco acquired Amutec and became Namco's children's amusements division. Amutec was mentioned on Namco UK's website until 2012. Nowadays, it's most likely that Bandai Namco has closed their Kiddie Ride division (other than Banpresto)

Amutec has also been distributing rides from other kiddie ride companies on their website, including the likes of BAFCO Ltd., UNIS Technology, and Merkur Gaming.

Also, the Amutec website has changed a lot. Since 2012, the website no longer worked and was redirected to Kiddy Rides UK's website. However, the website is working again but as a memorial page for Mick Collins.
