OUR HERITAGE
A trusted history with a customer driven philosophy
In 1974 our founder, Rodney Hill, established Marine & Industrial Transmissions Ltd to design, supply and service transmissions and driveline systems across the UK. Since then we have grown to become a centre of excellence in driveline systems providing customers with full product life cycle support from system design, supply, commissioning, maintenance, repair, spares and overhaul or replacement.
From our bases in southern and northern England, we provide comprehensive UK and Ireland coverage along with established Global Mobile Support Services. We have invested in a highly trained and dedicated technical engineering team and a significant inventory in world class brands of new and refurbished transmissions, driveline systems and spare parts. Our strategy is to support our customers’ multiple applications with custom designed driveline systems and ensure whole life care.
We have provided and maintained equipment to power products manufactured by the likes of Sunseeker, Irish Rail, Terex, South Boats, and the M.O.D. At MIT we continue to expand our services and products offered to maintain our position as being one of the major suppliers in the UK of driveline and propulsion solutions to all aspects of the marine, off road, quarry, rail, military and associated industries.
Our ever increasing product portfolio allows us to service applications such as concrete crushers, recycling equipment, locomotives, pleasure marine and commercial marine, including fishing boats & ferries. Whether the requirement is for production models or a bespoke requirement, we are confident we have the products to satisfy most applications.
ACCREDITATIONS
We are proud to hold both ISO9001, ISO45001 and ISO14001, which shows our commitment and continuous development in Quality, Health and Safety and the Environment.
A key aspect of gaining our accreditations was showing our staff and customers that we place quality, health, and safety at the forefront of the business.
We are also fully compliant with the requirements of the cyber essentials scheme. The scheme is a government-backed cybersecurity certification that sets out a good cybersecurity baseline suitable for all organisations in all sectors. The project addresses five critical controls that, when implemented correctly, can prevent around 80% of cyber attacks.
We also hold the IASME Consortium’s Counter Fraud Fundamentals (CFF) certification, and we are now holding the IAMSE GDPR certificate.
We are a JOSCAR (the Joint Supply Chain Accreditation Register) approved supplier.
We are also proud to say that MIT is a Living Wage and Living Hours Accredited Employer. This shows our dedication to ensuring that our employees are paid a fair wage that is enough to live on and that we provide our staff with the security and stability of hours they need to meet their everyday needs.
