– The Materials Processing Institute is a not-for-profit research and innovation centre with a 75-year track record in developing new materials, processes and technologies.
– The Institute is a globally recognised centre for the innovation, development and commercialisation of technology for advanced materials, industrial decarbonisation and the circular economy.
– The Institute’s SME Technology Centre identifies and engages with SMEs to support the development and commercialisation of innovations and technology. The SME Technology Centre includes on-site pilot plant, scale up and demonstrator facilities, enabling businesses to test, develop and demonstrate new technologies without the risks associated with full scale production.
– Institute has remained committed to the delivery of world class research into industrial processes and crucially, applying this knowledge successfully in the industrial environment.
– Many advanced processes which are now standard across industry were first developed at the Institute. This tradition continues with the development and commercialisation of ground-breaking new technologies in materials, processing and energy.
– The Institutes also works in partnership with universities and other research centres, providing doctoral training for PHD students and developing and progressing collaborative research opportunities to yield enhanced outcomes.
Vision:
The vision of the Institute is to be the globally recognised centre for the innovation, development and commercialisation of technology for the challenges of:
– Advanced Materials
– Industrial Decarbonisation
– The Circular Econom
Mission:
The mission of the Institute is to:
– Develop and commercialise technology solutions for our partners and clients that increase profitability, enable growth and reduce environmental impact, in a safe and sustainable way.
– Work across the materials sector and in collaboration with the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining to be the recognised national centre of excellence for materials processing, raising the profile of UK materials nationally and internationally.
– Provide challenging and rewarding careers to talented technicians, engineers and researchers. In so doing, attract, invest in and nurture people to the benefit of the Institute, the individual and the materials sector
Values:
– The motto of the Institute is ‘Integrity’. This is the core value of how employees at the Institute interact with one another, clients, the community and wider stakeholders.
