Buyers Guide 2023

www.pwemag.co.uk The magazine for plant, works and maintenance engineers Annual Buyers’ Guide 2023 T H E I N S T I T U T I O N O F D I A G N O S T I C E N G I N E E R S Welcome to the Plant & Works Engineering 2023 Buyers’ Guide This annual at-a-glance listing is a comprehensive user-friendly and indispensable source for identifying a cross section of industrial products and services. The Guide’s easy-to-use format can provide end-users with contact information for many of the leading suppliers in a particular product or service sector – from condition monitoring right through to boilers, pumps and valves or compressed air. Looking through the following pages you will see many long-established names alongside newcomers looking to make their mark within the engineering and manufacturing sectors. As we approach the end of the year, 2022 has been what I think we can only be described as another momentous and unprecedented period! Clearly Covid-19 has had a profound impact on the manufacturing sector and its integrated supply chains but combined with the continued repercussions of the horrendous war in Ukraine and resulting energy and food crisis, which is fueling inflation across the globe, as well as Brexit, we now have a unique set of challenges which no economist would dare put money on the way it will play out over the 12 months. However, the one very optimistic piece of news over the last couple of months has been the latest survey results from Make UK which has revealed that Britain’s manufacturing sector is increasingly embracing the digital industrial revolution as it bids to boost productivity, improve energy efficiency and overcome the supply chain shocks. The current financial challenges and the increasing cost of energy are likely to drive this revolution even further, with the survey showing that manufacturers intend to increase their investment in digital technologies in the next two years. As a result, more companies are moving to the ‘evolution’ stage of digital adoption which is where they are implementing changes to their processes, in particular to maintenance, product design, manufacturing systems and finance. This is where the PWE Buyers’ Guide can help provide readers with the necessary contact information to aid in the search for companies offering a range of the right solutions and strategies. One of the primary purposes of the guide is to ensure readers are kept up-to-date with what manufacturers, suppliers and distributors from across a variety of industrial disciplines, can offer end-users in terms of products, as well as after-sales service and on-going support. We hope you agree this guide is an ideal means to determine at a glance the type of company that is geared towards providing the right solution for you and your business. On behalf of the PWE team may I wish you a healthy and prosperous 2023. Aaron Blutstein Editor
