About XRC Engineering

​

XRC Engineering was founded in 2021 by Xtreme RC Ltd to overcome the challenges of sourcing reliable, high-quality subcontract manufacturing for robotic vehicle R&D. Frustrated by long lead times, high costs, and communication barriers, we built XRC Engineering with a customer-first approach, ensuring transparency, flexibility, and precision manufacturing.

Since our founding, we have tripled our team size and expanded our capabilities, growing into a trusted subcontract manufacturer for industries including robotics, automotive, consumer products, and oil & gas.
