// 01 - The Company

The Company.

Emrys Systems Ltd is an engineering and product company working across electronics, naval architecture and mechanical engineering. We deliver client projects in any sector and build our own dual-use platforms alongside that work, from Plymouth.

The team at Emrys Systems Ltd brings together over two decades of experience, split across two founders with diverse but complementary expertise. Most deep tech startups are founded by one technical person and one commercial person. Emrys is founded by two engineers, covering the depth this work requires directly.

Combined expertise spans:

Electronics & Communications Engineering
Naval Architecture
Maritime Electrical & Mechanical Engineering
