About Us

Our History

The original company of May & Scofield Inc. was established in Michigan, USA in 1934 by Roy May and H.W. Scofield Sr. as a supplier of metal stampings to the casket industry. In the 1950's it moved into the automotive market and grew through the integration of plastics, decorating and electronics in a variety of interior assemblies.

In 1992, as part of that expansion, it diversified into electrical and electronic systems by acquiring the automotive electronics company Mobelec based in Camberley, UK.

During 1998, to accommodate a significant growth in business, the company moved to larger premises in Basingstoke, Hampshire, UK, where it remains today and has become an established supplier of electronic control modules and systems to the automotive, defence, industrial and rail markets.

May & Scofield Electronics continues to grow as we increase our solid base of blue chip customers, enhance our product designs, offer innovation to the market and maintain our high standards of manufacturing and delivery.

The company is privately owned and is led by our Chairman – Rick Scofield, grandson of the original founder and our Managing Director – Gary James, who has been with the company since its inception in 1992 and has been Managing Director since 2000.
