About Us. 

In 1998, Mti Limited, was procured by a Management Buyout Team led by Bill Costello and a new company named Mti(1998) Ltd was formed. In the year 2003 the first satellite factory was established in Kings Langley and more recently in 2012 a second satellite factory adjacent to the original Kings Langley Factory was procured for anticipated future expansion. 

 

Currently Mti employs sixty staff, with forty-five employed at the Watford Site and fifteen employed at the Kings Langley Site. 

 

MTI (1998) has built its reputation and business success on the back of the labour intensive, and expensive, specialism of aluminium salt bath dip brazing, but this has allowed it to expand its manufacturing operations into areas that on their own may not be a viable proposition in the UK. 

 

Chairman and managing Director Bill Costello (pictured) is quite forthright in his view of machining parts for the aerospace and defence industries that make up 85% of MTI’s turnover: “Customers do not and will not source machined parts in the UK without some form of added value. This is why the salt bath dip brazing process that we provide in the manufacture of Electronic Chassis and Liquid Cooled Cold Plates for aircraft and military applications has played such a vital role in our success.” 

 

 

 

Success in its speciality of hot dip brazing has allowed MTI (1998) to grow its CNC machining business.
