About Us

MKP was established in 1985, but its roots go back to 1974 when Ryeland Toolmakers was established as a manufacturer of press-tools, jigs & fixtures. MKP evolved from Ryeland to supply components in high volume. Maine Office – Storage & Filing was acquired in 2006 and the Group now operates from two sites in Milton Keynes, occupying a floor space of 100,000 sq. ft. and servicing a wide variety of sectors.
