Currently reading: Rimac to double UK engineering workforce in 2023

Fast-expanding Croatian manufacturer will establish its permanent British base next year

Rimac Techology, the engineering and electronics arm of the fast-expanding Croatian EV hypercar group, has begun a campaign to increase the size of its British engineering team - as its 35-year-old founder Mate Rimac promised on a previous visit to the UK three years ago.

Rimac Technology already has 51 engineers working in temporary premises near Warwick, but it aims to more than double the group’s size by the time it moves to permanent UK premises in 2023.

The British division works in direct partnership with a much larger Croatian-based team, which expanded by 537 people during 2022. It counts 20 major OEMs - including Porsche, Bugatti, Pininfarina, Aston Martin and Hyundai-Kia, as “manufacturer partners”. 

Client projects include designing battery systems, body engineering, mechanical design, embedded software, purchasing and even vehicle trimming.
