www.pwemag.co.uk The magazine for plant, works and maintenance engineers Annual Buyers’ Guide 2024 Welcome to the Plant & Works Engineering 2024 Buyers’ Guide With an ever-evolving engineering landscape, understanding the latest trends is vital for making informed decisions regarding equipment and service requirements. PWE’s 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. In the realm of plant maintenance equipment and services, demand remains robust, with essential solutions serving key sectors across the UK and beyond. However, alongside these staple offerings, a significant wave of interest in automation technology, particularly in the context of digitalisation and its interconnectivity, is sweeping through the industry. One concept that’s gaining prominence is Maintenance 4.0, a natural extension within the Smart technology framework, focused on elevating maintenance processes to new heights. The UK’s embrace of digitalisation and Maintenance 4.0 in particular has, at times, been perceived as lagging behind some international counterparts, such as the US and Germany. However, the current financial challenges and the continuing fluctuating cost of energy are likely to increase the drive towards digitalisation further, with manufacturers indicating that they intend to increase their investment in digital technologies over the next few years. 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 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 2024. Aaron Blutstein Editor
