Engineering and technology

Scotland's engineering and technology sector generated a turnover of £24.4 billion turnover for Scotland in 2013 and there are nearly 10,000 technology and engineering companies across the country, employing 150,000 people.

South Lanarkshire has a strong industrial heritage and this continues to attract and boost high value engineering companies that make the area their home. Companies such as Martin Aerospace in Lanark supply critical components and assemblies to the aerospace industry and have links with some of the biggest companies in the sector.

The far reaching scope of this sector allows South Lanarkshire to offer an attractive prospect to new and emerging businesses, with readily available industrial space and a nurturing environment with support from the council. This sector is integral to Scotland’s engineering economy, providing support to globally recognised companies and cementing Scotland’s place in the engineering world.
