Bentley is proud to have a highly skilled and experienced workforce.

The capabilities at the Stroud facility include CNC, CMM, a 3D solid modelling CAD system with CAM implementation, 10 high-pressure test cells, a cleanroom and an R&D department with hyperbaric and environmental chambers. The facility also holds ISO 9001 and 14001 accreditation along with PED certification.

In addition, Bentley has a dedicated team of service technicians to provide aftermarket support worldwide.
