When most people think about MRI scanners, they think about hospitals, medical diagnoses, and patient care. Very few stop to consider the engineering that makes these sophisticated machines possible. Behind every MRI scanner is a range of highly engineered components working together to create the conditions needed for accurate imaging. Among the most important are…

Edgar Rayner, Managing Director of LTi Metaltech, has been named Business Person of the Year at the Oxfordshire Business Awards. The award recognises Edgar’s leadership of the Oxfordshire-based engineering business through a period of significant change and development. Since becoming Managing Director in 2020, he has overseen the company’s expansion into new markets, strengthened its…

The UK nuclear sector is entering a period of significant investment and development. From new-build projects and life-extension programmes to decommissioning activities and emerging fusion technologies, demand for specialist engineering and manufacturing capability continues to grow. While major infrastructure projects often attract the headlines, behind every successful nuclear programme is a network of highly skilled…

LTi Metaltech has been named UK Manufacturing Partner of the Year at the Manufacturing Solutions Show Awards, recognising a landmark period of growth, investment and strategic contract success for the Oxfordshire-based engineering specialist. The award follows a year of significant achievement for the business, including securing a contract worth more than £45 million with Sellafield…

LTi Metaltech was pleased to welcome His Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Oxfordshire, Mrs Marjorie Glasgow BEM, and Deputy Lieutenant Mr Mark Beard DL, to its manufacturing facility at Milton Park, Abingdon, for a visit highlighting Oxfordshire’s advanced manufacturing expertise and its contribution to nationally important industries. Hosted by Managing Director Edgar Rayner, the visit provided an…

Most people never see the engineered systems that keep modern industries running. They don’t see the pressure vessels inside MRI scanners, the containment systems supporting energy infrastructure, or the precision-fabricated components operating behind the scenes in highly regulated environments.But these systems play a vital role in everyday life. From healthcare technology and utilities to renewable…

When people think about welding, it’s often seen as a straightforward process – joining two pieces of metal together. In reality, especially in industrial settings, it’s far more important than that.In many applications, welds aren’t just part of the structure – they are the structure. They hold together pressure vessels, pipework, and critical systems that…

In many industrial processes, pressure vessels play a critical role. They are used to store, contain, and process liquids or gases under pressure across industries such as energy, chemicals, food processing, and manufacturing.Because of the conditions they operate under, pressure vessels must be designed and manufactured with care. High pressure, temperature changes, and challenging process…

LTi Metaltech announces a new multi-million-pound long-term agreement with Siemens Healthineers MR Magnet Technology, continuing two decades of collaboration in the manufacture of precision-engineered cryogenic pressure vessels for MRI systems worldwide.

High-integrity pressure vessels are engineered for environments where failure is not an option. In sectors such as Healthcare, Renewable Energy, and Nuclear Fusion, vessels must operate safely under sustained internal pressure, thermal cycling, and often corrosive process conditions.At the heart of every high-integrity pressure vessel is welding.Welding techniques are not simply fabrication methods – they…
