About Us
Balance & Test Machinery Group exists to make balancing and testing technology straightforward, reliable, and accessible.
The company is led by Steve Fowler, who began his engineering career at Rolls-Royce in 1987. Over the past three decades, he has:
- Developed more than 20 patents
- Designed and delivered hundreds of machines worldwide
- Trained generations of engineers and specialists
- Served since 2012 as a balancing and vibration expert within the British Standards Institute (BSI) and the International Standards Organization (ISO)
This depth of experience shapes everything that is done by the comprehensive Balance & Test team: from our machine designs, to the way we support our customers, to how we conduct business and contribute to global standards..
Our Philosophy: Back to Basics
We believe the best businesses are built on simple principles:
- Be easy to work with. Customers deserve clear answers and quick responses.
- Build reliability first. Equipment should just work, every time.
- Keep pricing competitive. Capital equipment is a major burden for OEMs, so we leverage global manufacturing to deliver the lowest cost without cutting corners.
- Stay sustainable. We avoid chasing unrealistic targets, so promises remain realistic and outcomes remain positive.
These values ensure that when you work with us, you know exactly what to expect: honesty, reliability, and engineering expertise that delivers.
A Global Team, Locally Connected.
Our headquarters is at the Bristol & Bath Science Park in the UK, home to management, engineering, and R&D. Around the world we operate regional hubs for sales, service, and manufacturing, including Germany, Spain, USA, Singapore, India, and China.
This network allows us to combine global reach with local responsiveness — so customers get consistent quality and support wherever they are.
Why We Exist
