McLaren Applied Technologies Limited was formed in 2004 and is a company within the McLaren Group.
The primary objective of the company is to work within a diverse range of industries and develop commercial applications for technology developed within the McLaren Group.
McLaren Applied Technologies provides an internal central resource for certain key facilities and expertise to ensure that each McLaren business gets maximum use and value from the Group's investment in new technology.
MAT is responsible for taking the company's know-how into non-motorsport sectors. Everything from repurposing technology for other uses – such as the recent Air Traffic Control initiative or the S-Works + McLaren Venge racing bike which Mark Cavendish used to win the Green Jersey at this year's Tour de France – to repurposing the skills needed to run a race team.
McLaren Applied Technology centre
On 16 September 2011, McLaren Group unveiled plans to build a vast new McLaren Applied Technology centre adjacent to its existing headquarters. The new building will consist of 60,000 square metres of workshops, prototype manufacturing and testing space, research and development equipment, offices, meeting spaces, innovation hubs and informal break-out spaces. That will mean 300 jobs during the construction phase and 400 permanent jobs once the new site has been built. McLaren also claim that an additional 200 jobs will be created indirectly through manufacturing, suppliers and clients, and increased retail spend in the area.[1]
