The UKC Group is pleased to announce the acquisition of the Blore Edwards Potentiometer and Rotary Wafer Switch Manufacturer— a strategic move that further strengthens the Group’s position in the precision components and engineering sector.

Blore Edwards has built a strong reputation as a UK-based manufacturer of high-quality potentiometers and rotary wafer switches, trusted across a wide spectrum of industries including aerospace, defence, industrial controls, rail, and medical technology. With this acquisition, the UKC Group is now able to manufacture and supply a full range of potentiometers in-house, expanding its capabilities and product offering to meet growing demand for reliable, high-performance solutions.

The move marks an exciting new chapter for both businesses. By bringing the Blore Edwards product line under the UKC Group umbrella, the organisation deepens its in-house expertise in precision engineering, materials science, and component manufacturing. It also reinforces the Group’s commitment to UK-based production — ensuring greater quality control, shorter lead times, and continuity of supply for mission-critical applications.

“We are delighted to welcome the Blore Edwards potentiometer business into the UKC Group,” said a UKC Group spokesperson. “This acquisition aligns perfectly with our strategy of providing end-to-end component solutions for customers across defence, aerospace, medical, transport, and industrial markets. It not only enhances our technical capabilities but also supports our long-term vision of maintaining strong domestic manufacturing in the UK.”

Customers of both companies can expect continuity of service, with existing Blore Edwards products and specifications remaining fully supported. Over time, the integration will also allow for broader innovation and customisation opportunities — backed by the Group’s extensive engineering and distribution infrastructure.

The UKC Group’s acquisition of the Blore Edwards potentiometer business reflects a shared focus on quality, reliability, and engineering excellence — reinforcing the Group’s reputation as a trusted partner for complex and high-reliability component supply across the sectors that matter most.
