About

Optima Control Solutions Ltd. is more than an expert industrial control systems company. We are a team of professional engineers who recognise that the services we provide must add real value to the businesses of our customers – and we enjoy doing it.

Optima is an independent variable speed drives company. This means that we are able to integrate any manufacturer’s variable speed drives in the systems we design. Having this flexibility allows us to offer products that you may have standardised on within your company, so helping you to minimise spares holdings and avoid training personnel on new products etc. Independence also means that we can recommend equipment best suited to your application, without the obligation of a manufacturers tie-up. This will ensure that optimum performance and reliability are achieved in your manufacturing process.

We feel that we offer the following advantages in the marketplace:

  • High-level technical expertise.
  • Disciplined project management.
  • Price advantage – we engineer projects normally associated with larger companies whose overheads are obviously higher.

Adrian West and Michael Hill formed Optima Control Solutions Ltd. in 1995 and began trading in August of that year.

Their founding principles of applying expertise skilfully, professionally and diligently have, since incorporation, been at the heart of our business. This characteristic is recognised by our customers, suppliers and employees, all of who have contributed significantly to the company’s success.

The company now operates from its new headquarters in Blackburn, Lancashire and currently employs 20 staff. Optima recognises that as a knowledge-based business, our engineering experts are the company’s most important asset and we regard their welfare as paramount.

Making a positive difference to our customers’ operations and enjoying this experience makes Optima Control Solutions Ltd. a good company to work for and with.
