Last month, on May 16th, I reported that Mark Roberts Motion Control Limited (MRMC), a former Nikon company, had filed for bankruptcy/liquidation. At that point, I could not find any confirmation from my sources, but I can now report that Mark Roberts Motion Control Ltd entered bankruptcy/liquidation on May 22nd, 2026:
In April, Nikon announced it was selling Mark Roberts Motion Control Limited (MRMC) to a UK-based investment company. A month later, MRMC filed for bankruptcy/liquidation. You can draw your own conclusions here.
No detailed public information is yet available on the exact reasons for failure (e.g., debts, trading losses post-buyout), but the rapid timeline after the private equity-style buyout has raised questions in industry circles.
Update: my understanding is that all employees were laid off.
