Our unique heritage
BTL-UK LTD. Where we came from
Ray Mifsud (Managing Director) started his career as an apprentice, and served as a toolmaker working in the plastic injection moulding industry. Ray founded BTL-UK Ltd more than 30-years ago. The company has since grown beyond Ray’s wildest dreams. 30 years on, BTL now holds a global reputation as one of Europe’s leading manufacturers and international distributors of bearings, power transmissions and linkage products. BTL also offers a sub-contract precision engineering service. The company currently occupies three sites in the Southeast of the UK. It covers a combined area of over 100,000 square feet (over 9,200 square metres) of dedicated manufacturing, warehousing, and administration facilities and all having excellent transport links to Europe and beyond. Many of the world’s leading manufacturers in the automotive, agricultural, construction, industrial, medical and motorsport sectors rely on BTL products on a daily basis.
“There is a passion for performance that is built into the company’s DNA, continuously pushing boundaries, and developing new, exciting technologies and products”.
