Langstone reaches 20 years and counting…
On the 12th January 2021, Langstone Engineering celebrated their 20 years trading milestone. During that 20-year period, Gary Hart has led Langstone to become the UK’s first choice in Precision Engineering, with a reputation of delivering to promise for it’s diverse client base. Having relocated to the current site in Portsmouth in 2012, Langstone increased their size and capacity with the acquisition of an adjacent unit to house their tooling operation, and then over time expanded their team across all skill sets to 45. Commenting around the anniversary, Gary remarked “I’m delighted the business has grown to it’s current level, and through the effort of the team, we continue to pick up new and exciting clients to take us forward for the next 20 years”.
New Langstone Engineering Logo
As a part of Langstone’s 20-year review, it was felt we should update the Company logo and typeface to reflect a more modern 21st century Langstone. The addition of the Union Jack emphasises our commitment to UK Engineering and manufacturing, and remaining at the forefront of the Precision Engineering sector for the future.
