Strengthening our collective ambition to become the UK’s first-choice partner for medical device manufacturing
12 April 2025, Leeds, UK: Kirkstall Precision Engineering is proud to welcome South Yorkshire-based Oracle Precision into the Medical Precision Group (MPG), a growing network of high-performing medical manufacturing specialists committed to innovation, quality, and partnership.
This marks MPG’s second major strategic acquisition since the network’s formation, following Kirkstall’s own onboarding in July 2024. It’s a significant moment for all of us within the group, as we continue to scale our capabilities and expand our offering across the UK and beyond.
Founded in 2011, Oracle Precision is a well-respected name in CNC machining, with a reputation for delivering high-quality, precision-engineered components to highly regulated sectors including medical device manufacturing, aerospace, gas detection, radar technology, and fibre optics. The company holds ISO 13485 and AS9100 certifications, underlining its commitment to compliance and excellence, values we at Kirkstall Precision deeply share.
“From day one, it’s been clear that Oracle Precision is a natural fit for the MPG vision,” said Adam Thornton, CEO of Kirkstall Precision Engineering. “Their team brings deep expertise, a sharp focus on quality, and a strong customer-first approach. We’re excited to collaborate, learn from one another, and move forward together as part of the MPG family.”
At Kirkstall, we’ve seen first-hand how being part of MPG has strengthened our operation, bringing investment, creating opportunities for collaboration, and accelerating our shift toward becoming a medical and veterinary manufacturing centre of excellence. With Oracle now joining the network, our shared vision to lead the way in medical device manufacturing is stronger than ever.
Shaun Palmer, Commercial Director at Oracle Precision, commented on the acquisition: “We’re proud to be joining MPG and to align with Kirkstall Precision and other future partners under one mission. It’s a chance to stay true to who we are, while expanding our reach, growing our capabilities, and investing in our people and equipment.”
Ryan Taylor, Oracle’s Operations Director, added: “Our team is incredibly excited about the future. With access to MPG programmes such as the MPG Academy and wider investment in technology, we’re confident this next chapter will take us to new heights.”
As MPG continues to grow, our goal remains clear: to become the UK’s most trusted, respected, and advanced contract manufacturing network for medical devices. That vision is built on collaboration, and we’re proud to welcome Oracle Precision into the team.
