About us

After working in engineering and IT companies for many years, we've experienced the IT services industry first hand from a customer viewpoint as well as supplier.

So, in 2002 we established Xype with the aim of providing high quality IT services to the design and manufacturing industries in an uncomplicated, cost effective and straightforward manner.

Based at key locations across Europe, we uniquely give you access to experienced IT industry specialists without the complications of a large, big company engagement, restrictions of a software supplier or the limitations of an agency.

"From the outset we wanted to do things differently from the way the big corporations typically operate.

We find clients want access to experienced engineers, but at a reasonable cost, within a responsive timeframe and with a simple engagement."

Pete Lewis, Xype MD


Our unique approach has allowed us to grow rapidly since 2002, fostering an increasing customer base which includes some instantly recognisable industry names as well as smaller local businesses, with repeat business being a key indicator of satisfaction.

Maintaining strong partnerships within the industry is also a key feature of the business allowing us to provide wider appeal and ensure our skills are kept up to date and relevant.

To complement our services business we are also Authorised suppliers of software and training for SolidWorks, the leading Mechanical CAD system, and 3DVIA Composer which is driving the market in publishing and distribution of CAD data.
