PRODUCTS AND People
Based in Hertfordshire, Secomak operate its factory alongside the main office, itself less than 30 minutes from their Testing and Development Facility. This allows for cohesive, agile project planning, product development and knowledgeable commissioning and aftercare programmes.

At Secomak, you really are extremely close to the specialists who design and build your solution.

Secomak work closely with The University of Hertfordshire to develop both new products and engineering expertise, as students utilise Secomak equipment in their end-of-year projects. This is built into the university’s curriculum, helping young talent to deploy their skills in a real-world environment as well as introducing seasoned professionals to intelligent and enthusiastic academics.

Secomak’s commitment to developing young talent has seen a multiple students complete placement years and return as University Graduates upon completing their studies. This is a core value for Secomak, where product development goes hand in hand with building employees' skillsets.
A provider of complete solutions, Secomak take pride in sharing their experience and expertise by guiding every customer to the best resolution for them.  Where an existing product is not suitable for the job, Secomak have vast experience in engineering new solutions, adapting and in certain cases, researching, designing and building a new product from scratch.

It is this knowledge, innovation and experience that has seen the company grow and flourish into the successful business it is today.
