CEMA Ltd was founded in Nottingham in 1987 and has grown into one of the UK’s leading electrical engineering specialists for the water and wastewater industry. Built on a long-standing commitment to safety, delivery, efficiency and service, we provide end‑to‑end solutions that support the full project lifecycle, from design and manufacture to installation, testing, commissioning and ongoing support.
As customer requirements expanded, CEMA Ltd became the foundation of the wider CEMA Group, an interconnected network of UK companies delivering essential engineering and infrastructure services nationwide. Today, the Group includes Lloyd Morris Electrical, Labtec Services, Sandiacre Metal Solutions, and Nottingham Crane Hire, alongside CEMA Ltd.
Together, these businesses enhance the Group’s overall capability, adding further strength in design, control panel manufacture, systems integration, fabrication, logistics and Hi‑Ab transport. This collective expertise enables CEMA
Ltd to deliver fully integrated, scalable engineering solutions supported by shared skills, proven best practice and the resources of a Group with over £50m turnover.
For our clients, this means deeper sector knowledge, broader technical capacity, and a trusted partner able to meet the increasing operational and regulatory challenges facing the water industry.
What Makes Us Different?
Many companies talk about great customer service. We deliver it, consistently, every single day.
Complete Electrical & Automation Solutions, All In-House
At our Nottingham head office, electrical design, panel manufacture, software development and systems integration all operate under one roof. This close, day-to-day collaboration gives our engineering, production and project teams real-time visibility of every project stage, enabling quicker decisions, faster problem solving and smoother delivery.
We design and build a full range of products, including certified Power Distribution Switchboards up to 4000A, Motor Control Centres, Intelligent MCCs with advanced diagnostics, compact Local Control Stations, and PLC-based ICA panels for automation and monitoring across water industry assets.
Beyond manufacturing, we provide complete project support, PLC/SCADA software and systems integration, electrical and mechanical installation, full CDM management, communication network design, telemetry solutions and asset replacement
works.
By housing all disciplines together, we maintain clear communication, full traceability and seamless alignment between design, build, testing and installation. This integrated model reduces risk, shortens lead times and removes the
delays often seen with multi-site or multi-supplier delivery.
The result is a fully coordinated project experience: solutions that are designed, built, configured and proven within the same collaborative environment, ensuring cohesion, efficiency and high reliability from start to finish.
