Motorsport Derived Excellence, Delivered with OEM Grade Assurance
For advanced automotive OEMs, supercar and hypercar manufacturers, and low volume performance vehicle programmes, CTE provides a level of precision, reliability and programme discipline proven at the very pinnacle of world motorsport, and delivered to some of the world’s most exacting and demanding hypercar programmes.
Our components run in championship winning environments where reliability, thermal control, packaging efficiency and dimensional accuracy decide outcomes—sometimes by tenths, sometimes by microns, and they sit perfectly on vehicles designed and produced for the most discerning drivers.
Decades of success supplying top tier motorsport programmes, provides the basis of the standards we work to. Our “on-car” parts have contributed to Teams winning Championships on a global stage demonstrating engineering maturity, supply chain control, and the quality assurance rigour required to deliver race critical assemblies under extreme conditions.
Chosen by Leading Performance OEMs
CTE has been entrusted to deliver high integrity, performance critical assemblies for some of the most demanding low volume automotive programmes in the world —including fuel & oil tanks for landmark British V12’s, and exhaust systems for European supercars. These exacting components are delivered to homologated multi million pound, low volume programmes, delivered to stringent tolerances, validated and documented to OEM standards.
Our repeated selection for multiple programmes across programmes for a hypercar manufacturer speaks to confidence in our engineering, process discipline and delivery performance.
Why Automotive Procurement Teams Trust CTE
Proven delivery of parts to complete numerous super and hypercar programmes
We’ll happily discuss our achievements to date, with our automotive and motorsport references readily available. Our contribution to some of the most impressive builds is tangible and makes for an impressive résumé.
OEM Aligned Quality Systems
CTE maintains a fully documented, structured and audited quality ecosystem:
- ISO 9001 certified quality management.
- APQP aligned programme planning, including PFMEA, process flow and risk mitigation.
- PPAP approved supply capability for OEM customers
- Embedded inspection and validation: CMM, 3D scanning, helium leak testing, pressure testing for fluid containing systems
- Motorsport grade TIG welding, including F1 team audited titanium processes.
Our customers gain a supplier who can integrate seamlessly into gated programme structures — one which meets your documentation and traceability expectations.
Financial Stability & Capacity Growth
CTE’s strong and consistent order book — supported by multi year contracts in both automotive and motorsport sectors — ensures a stable financial base and ongoing investment into people, technology and capacity.
Recent growth includes expanded fabrication capacity, increased CNC tube bending throughput, enhanced metrology, and scaling of heat shielding capabilities to support both prototype and series production.
We offer:-
- Reduced onboarding risk
- Proven ability to support development, pre production and series ramps
- Long term continuity of supply
Core Automotive Capabilities
Precision Fabricated Exhaust & Thermal Systems
Heat shielded and insulated assemblies designed for high performance ICE and hybrid applications, benefitting from our motorsport thermal management expertise.
Complex Geometry Hardlines & Tubular Systems
CNC bent, jig checked, metrology verified hardlines for fuel, oil, coolant and air systems—engineered for tight packaging envelopes typical of performance vehicles.
Fuel & Oil Tanks (Aluminium)
Hand fabricated, pressure tested and helium leak validated tanks with full traceability. Ideal for low volume programmes requiring uncompromising performance and safety margins.
Hydroformed & Multi Process Assemblies
Hydroforming capabilities for optimised flow and packaging, seamlessly integrated with fabrication, machining, and thermal solutions.
CNC Machined/Pressed Components & Integrated Supply
In house machining combined with managed sub tier suppliers enables CTE to deliver complete assemblies with assured quality and controlled lead times.
