==History==
Catapult centres were set up by [[Innovate UK]] (formerly the Technology Strategy Board).

The HVM Catapult was created with £140m of government funding and was the first Catapult centre to open, in October 2011. In 2016, manufacturing employed 2.6m people in the UK, and contributed 11% of GDP.<ref>[https://www.theengineer.co.uk/the-future-of-uk-manufacturing-solving-our-productivity-puzzle/ The Engineer August 2016]</ref>

==Structure and funding==
The HVM Catapult has offices at the Blythe Valley Business Park, off junction 4 of the M42 in [[Cheswick Green]], Solihull, West Midlands. It is a [[Private company limited by guarantee]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/07708659|title=High Value Manufacturing Catapult|website=Companies House|language=en|access-date=26 August 2018}}</ref> and its members are seven national centres:<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://hvm.catapult.org.uk/hvm-centres/|title=HVM Catapult Centres|work=High Value Manufacturing Catapult|access-date=26 August 2018|language=en-GB}}</ref>
