In May 2025, Transcal Engineering made history by becoming the first external supplier to receive RBSL’s Medal of Excellence – for outstanding contributions to critical Defense programs. Rheinmetall BAE Systems Land, globally-renowned Defense specialists, have worked with Transcal on multiple projects including Challenger II and III, as well as the Boxer programs. The Pershore-based Engineering firm has provided valuable support by fabricating external and internal components for both programs. The award is a testament to the relationship between the two companies, and their commitment to providing best-in-class equipment to the military. Challenger III is a fourth-generation main battle tank, building and improving upon the Challenger II, with upgrades to surveillance and target acquisition, the weapon control system, mobility, and its electronic architecture.

One of the most incredible vehicles ever imagined, from the mind of the greatest automotive designer who has ever lived. The spiritual successor to Murray’s McLaren F1 – which is still often cited as the greatest car ever, some 28 years later – the 3-seater hypercar is most certainly not all hype. The ultimate driver’s car, the incredibly sub-tonne creation red lines at around 12,100 rpm, featuring a Cosworth V12 engine that pierces your soul and leaves your jaw on the floor – with a top speed of around 226 mph, and a 0-62 mph time of 2.8 seconds. Inspired by Murray’s Brabham BT46B F1 car, the T.50 features an aerodynamic fan in the rear, significantly increasing downforce when in operation – effectively vacuuming the car to the tarmac. Working closely with Gordon Murray Automotive, Transcal designed and created the interiors for all of the T.50s that GMA will produce – each entirely unique to the individual vehicle. In addition to supplying the interiors for this incredible run of vehicles,...

Working with the UK government, Transcal produced around 1.2 million face coverings per month to help satiate the increased public demands and to help alleviate pressure on the suppliers of medical face coverings for the NHS, front-line, and key workers. Wielding decades of manufacturing experience, Transcal stepped into an entirely new arena when undertaking PPE production. In compliance with ISO 9001 quality standards, the company was able to consistently produce its community face coverings while ensuring full product traceability. Created with a low carbon footprint, the masks are comprised of an innovative and highly-effective melt blown polypropylene filtration inner layer, encapsulated within two, spun bond polypropylene outer layers. The materials were 100% UK sourced, and every mask underwent UV light treatment to ensure it was hygienically clean pre-packaging.
