Brandauer strategy to accelerate revenues

One of the oldest manufacturers in Birmingham (UK) has secured two major automotive contracts months after announcing its intention to become a long-term engineering partner for its global clients. Brandauer, which completed an historic management buy-out (MBO) in September 2025, is now working with Ford Motor Company and a leading Tier 1 supplier from eastern Europe on projects to produce tooling and precision components for use in electrification.

Both partnerships are tapping into the company’s early-stage consultancy and design for manufacturing support, before following the production journey from tool design, manufacture and try-out to process automation and volume production. The early wins reinforce Brandauer’s new strategic growth plan, outlined after the MBO, and “has accelerated the firm’s move towards £12m revenues by 2029”, it told ISMR.

Rowan Crozier, CEO of Brandauer, commented: “When Stuart Berry, Dave Chapman and I spoke after the recent deal, we highlighted our desire to move from a traditional stamping business to a precision engineering provider. This move will transition us from a sub-contract stamping specialist to a one-stop partner, who can scale precision metal/plastic assemblies from concept stage and prototype development, through to production ramp-up (ultimately capable of millions of component assemblies supplied globally every week).”
