Caetus was founded in 2023 for one reason: to make buying and implementing industrial machinery from China simple, transparent, and low-risk for UK and Irish manufacturers.

We’ve spent years building real relationships on the ground inside factories, not on video calls. So you’re not relying on glossy brochures or a reseller’s promise. You get straight answers, verified suppliers, and engineering-led decision making from day one.

What makes Caetus different is measurable outcomes. We don’t just quote a machine and hope it works out. We quantify the upgrade against your current operation using real site data, so you can make a confident, board-ready decision. That includes:

• Like-for-like capability comparisons (capacity, accuracy, throughput, uptime expectations)
• Part and product remanufacturing FAT testing, measuring and validating before the machine leaves the factory.
• ROI and payback modelling based on actual electrical and gas consumption, not generic assumptions
• Cost-per-part and running cost analysis based on your real production cycle times

With a UK head office and a secondary base in China, you get rapid, first-hand updates when they matter: during supplier selection, factory verification, build tracking, FAT/QC, shipping, installation, commissioning, and after-sales support. No time-zone ping-pong. No “we’ll check with the factory” delays. Just accountable delivery.

Our founder, James Grace, has lived and worked between the UK and China for many years. He knows how Chinese manufacturing works first hand, who to trust, what to check, what can go wrong, and how to prevent it, because he’s there in person, visiting factories and working directly with suppliers.

And when you work with Caetus, you work directly with Caetus—not a chain of agents, resellers, and brokers adding margin at every step. That means better pricing control, fewer misunderstandings, and a smoother machine-buying experience.

We’re a team of engineers with practical experience across industrial machinery and manufacturing systems. So you’ll get the right technical guidance throughout the purchasing process, plus after-sales care that actually solves problems when production is on the line.
