Protech Publications

Protech Publications is a technical data company headquartered in Bristol, UK, serving the aerospace and defence sectors. It says it was started in 2019 by two aerospace engineers who became technical data specialists, after a US company asked them to build a team able to run a complex project. The managing director is Richard Austin.
