Astech are very excited to announce that after many months of work and development behind the scenes, we have revised our name, reshaped the business proposition and refreshed the visual identity to gear the business up for the future and an exciting period of growth.

The rebrand marks a new era for Astech, and perhaps the most immediately striking difference is that Astech Projects is now Astech.

The automation specialist business, which has offices in Runcorn, will turn 30 in 2025, and the rebrand seeks to “solve the rapid evolution of automation innovations that have taken place in the space and become a market leader in automation.”

It will offer a radical shift for the business with its new vision “To be the world’s leading provider of automated solutions, for the world’s most innovative companies’’. This highlights the ambition for the business over the coming years as it seeks to expand.

Astech will be looking to work across transformative industries who are looking for expertise and experience to achieve their automation goals.

Astech will continue to focus on its core business around Drug Delivery and Manufacturing automation as well as expand in the big growth market of laboratory automation and robotics. In addition to this, they will be looking to roll out their new laboratory automation based products.

As part of the rebrand, Astech has launched a new website which will be used to highlight the systems and applications Astech creates, as well as providing information around the industry.


Astech CEO Craig Hamilton commented that “it has been a really exciting journey over the past six months, speaking to customers and suppliers and defining who we really are and identifying where the business can evolve as we look to expand over the coming years. The rebrand and modernising the business has been a big part of this and it’s a very exciting time for the business”
