Scitech Engineering Ltd Joins Ekium Group, Becoming Scitech–EKIUM
Ekium is a leading European engineering and automation firm, employing over 2,500 professionals across 14 countries. This partnership marks a significant milestone for both organisations, combining Scitech’s deep expertise in delivering complex, GMP-compliant projects in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, life sciences and advanced technology sectors with Ekium’s global reach and multidisciplinary capabilities.
This collaboration enhances Scitech’s ability to expand its service offering and project capacity, while supporting Ekium’s strategic growth and presence in the UK market. It particularly strengthens our local capabilities in the pulp and paper and nuclear sectors. Clients can expect the same high standards of technical excellence, innovation and client-focused delivery, now backed by a broader international network.
A Shared Commitment to Life Sciences
Life sciences is a strategic growth area for both Scitech and Ekium and, together, life sciences represent 25% of Ekium’s total turnover, with over €90million in revenue and more than 550 dedicated professionals across Belgium, France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and UK.
"We are delighted to welcome Scitech into the Ekium family. Their technical excellence and strong presence in the UK and European life sciences sector align perfectly with our strategic vision. This partnership strengthens our ability to deliver integrated, end-to-end solutions across Europe."
Jean-François Yot, Chief Executive Officer, Ekium Group
Ekium’s life sciences teams support a wide range of clients, including GSK, Novartis, Sanofi, Takeda and UCB, across segments such as biologics, vaccines, medical devices, nuclear medicine and hospital pharmacy. Their expertise spans process engineering, clean utilities, automation, validation and GMP compliance.
"This is a pivotal moment for Scitech. Joining the Ekium Group allows us to scale our capabilities and extend our reach, while continuing to deliver the same high-quality, client-focused service. Together, we’re uniquely positioned to support the life sciences sector with greater depth, agility and innovation."
Dave Grant, Managing Director, Scitech
This integration also strengthens Scitech’s European footprint. Ekium’s two life sciences-focused offices in Liège and Jumet, Belgium, complement Scitech’s Antwerp office and Netherlands operations, creating a powerful regional network to support clients across the UK and continental Europe.
