Weir employs in the region of 9,000 people globally and is well
established in all three of our chosen higher growth markets:
Minerals, Oil & Gas and Power. Operating in over 40 countries,
our businesses are supported at Group level by management, training
and research and development resources, both through our Scottish
headquarters and through regional, product-focused centers of
excellence around the world.
In recent years, we have built the foundations, infrastructure
and the culture to underpin a framework for continuous improvement
and our acquisition integration process is highly effective at
delivering the best from our new companies.
Our operational excellence continues to underpin our strategy
for continuing growth through three key drivers -
1. Innovative Action
Our strategy prioritises customer-driven product and service
innovation through investment in engineering skills and people
development to accelerate the adoption of new approaches and
business solutions. This creative focus on portfolio development
delivers enhanced and extended product capability to give existing
and new customers a competitive advantage.
2. Collaborative Mindset
We will drive co-operative alliances and cross-divisional
working to promote our total capability to customers in all
markets. We achieve more when we empower our people to collaborate
with our customers and with each other across divisions, markets
and geographical regions in a shared approach to solving
problems.
3. Global Capability
Our strategy is to continue to build global capability, to
expand in emerging markets and serve customers globally. This means
working alongside our customers in the territories that drive
demand in minerals, oil and gas and power generation, channeling
more products and services through our existing and expanding
organisation to strengthen local relationships.
