Renishaw plc is a company that specialises in industrial metrology and spectroscopy products. It was founded in the 1970s when an employee of Rolls Royce needed to improve a prototype engine. He invented a touch-trigger probe device, and patented it, then formed the Renishaw business.
Today, Renishaw employs over 1500 people in offices around the world. Its group headquarters are at New Mills, Wotton-under-Edge in Gloucestershire, a few miles north of the Rolls Royce plant at Filton, England. The offices are situated in an old mill from the industrial revolution, with several new buildings. It is a nature oriented site, with hundreds of birds (including ducks and peacocks) and a large lake.
The site is also close to the village of Charfield on the Bristol-Birmingham railway line, where the railway station has been considered for reopening.
