Manufacturing SMEs to embark on strong investment drive in order to meet demand

English SMEs involved in the manufacturing segment are about to embark on a very serious investment drive in order to meet increased demand, a new market report has very recently revealed.

According to a media source, figures obtained from the latest Manufacturing Advisory Service (MAS) Barometer suggest that 86% of companies participating in the survey were planning to invest in capital equipment over the next twelve months and were looking to spend £121,000 on average.

Two thirds of the firms questioned are looking to purchase new plant and machinery, just over half are focused on upgrading IT/communications infrastructure and nearly a third on improving premises.

The main reasons driving these investment plans were boosting efficiency and quality (31%), followed by developing new products/processes (30%) and extending existing capacity (22%).
