Mark Roberts Motion Control
MARK ROBERTS MOTION CONTROL (MRMC), the leading manufacturer of robotic motion control and automated image capture systems has won the Queen’s Award for Enterprise: International Trade. MRMC robotics and software solutions are used all over the world by studios, Hollywood productions, e-commerce outlets, sports broadcasters, national parliaments, football leagues and more. Clients include Sky, BBC, Boeing, Sony, SpaceX, to name a few. Their headquarters is based in the rolling countryside of Surrey, where all robotics are designed in- house, either as a turnkey solution – such as the big robotic rigs – or bespoke with client speci c customisation.
The success of MRMC’s robotic solutions lies
in its precision engineering. MRMC started in 1966, servicing the needs of the TV and lm industries. It became a leader in robotics for visual e ects and won an Academy Award.
With 50 years of robotic experience to call on, MRMC is still involved in many blockbuster feature lms every year, while also diversifying into other state-of-the-art industries.
In 2012, MRMC provided robotic heads for the London Games, garnering worldwide attention from press agencies. In 2016, MRMC followed this up by supplying 95% of the robotic press cameras

The last ve years have seen international sales rise exponentially, with robotic solutions now in over 40 countries. Assa Rawner, CEO of Mark Roberts Motion Control comments:
“We’ve been creating robotics for over 50 years, and as a company have always striven to break new ground with our technology. Our engineering has taken us to the forefront of our industry, with international trade making up a large portion of our revenue. I feel the Queen’s Award is de nitely a testament to that. Our ability to adapt quickly
to client needs, with the precision and speed our

MRMC expects to further increase its global presence, as it now has the backing of Nikon (who recently acquired the company), by using their channels to drive robotics into new international markets.
