Focused on the Future

Cygnet Group is firmly focused on growing its engineering expertise, scope of businesses and markets. By focusing on the product and machinery design and development skills gained over many years since our inception in 1974, and combining this with our experience of doing business in all corners of the world,Cygnet is uniquely placed to benefit to champion British engineering on a global stage.

Controlling the sales and market knowledge and product development, but working with a network of UK specialists for the manufacture and supply, whilst again taking full responsibility for installation and customer satisfaction, Cygnet Group companies operate on a proven business format, that allows UK engineering to compete and win across the world. We believe that this success can be continued by constantly looking at how we can improve, and increase the range of skills and services that we can offer, both within the Group and also to outside companies through Cygnet Engineering Developments.

The Cygnet Group currently comprises four clear subsidiaries, each working in different markets, but overlapping in terms of the skills sets required to make them successful companies. We are actively looking to increase the number of group companies by both acquisition and incubation.

  • Texkimp Texkimp are specialists in designing and manufacturing equipment for the unwinding, guiding & tensioning of every kind of yarn, fibre, tow, tape monofilament & multi-filament. Texkimp was founded in 1974 and is currently the only independent specialist creel designer and manufacturer in the world. Family owned and controlled, the company concentrates solely on the production of creels and related accessories for the handling, unwinding, tensioning and guiding of all types of yarns, tapes and fibres from package to process. In 2007 Texkimp was reversed into Cygnet Group Limited and forms a key part of an expanding specialist engineering group with expertise in designing, developing, manufacturing and selling engineered products into niche global markets. www.texkimp.com

  • Secc SECC has developed four key pieces of intellectual property, all related to joining pipes and hoses without the need for threaded connections. The SECC technology is suitable for a wide range of markets and applications, because it is truly scaleable for increasing pressures and diameters, unlike existing threadless technology. Products range from low value high volume for small pneumatic and hydraulic components up to individual couplings weighing several tons made from exotic metals for sub-sea applications. SECC is the ultimate holding company responsible for the development of the individual areas of intellectual property. There are currently two wholly owned subsidiaries, secc Hydraulics and secc Oil & Gas, each of which is responsible for commercialising the intellectual property in their respective markets globally. www.secc-oilandgas.com
