7 Benefits of Using UK Manufacturing Companies

With quality and commitment becoming increasingly important for businesses and consumers, there is a push to use more UK manufacturers. The “Made in the UK” sticker is becoming a major symbol of quality across the world, which is a trend that has our full support.

In this post, Adventa looks at the benefits of using British manufacturers for your products, parts and more. After reading this blog, you should be able to weigh up these benefits against the rationale of why you are using your current supplier.

Top Advantages of UK Manufacturers

There are many advantages of using a manufacturer that are held to high UK standards. Below are the seven main advantages of using manufacturing companies in the UK:

1. Improved communication

Working with a supplier in a non-English speaking country can quickly become frustrating. With differences in time zones, languages, and domestic markets, it can be very challenging to be on the same page as to your needs.

Being able to understand their context, have a conversation over the phone, or remain in regular contact is extremely beneficial. In addition to this, a UK manufacturer, which has close ties to the US, will have a complete understanding of your market.

2. Product development and innovation

Often overlooked but a huge strength at Adventa!  Working with a UK manufacturer gives you access with expertise in both product design and lean manufacturing. Any leading UK manufacturer will consider how they can improve on an existing product, both in terms of their own production efficiency, but also in terms of the user's efficiency and consumer appeal. It is a well known fact that many of the world’s biggest producers are good at copying, but poor at product design. This is even more important if you are wanting a custom product!

3. Reduced carbon footprint

UK manufacturers are held to the country's carbon emissions standards, so less pollution is produced. Also, many UK suppliers, like Adventa, are focusing on their own sustainability. Making use of sustainable suppliers will make your products more environmentally friendly too.

4. Greater quality control

As with carbon emissions, UK manufacturers are held to UK standards in their production processes too. The UK has strict laws in place that ensure that products are being made consistently with quality control measures to the approved industry standards. Other countries do not have the same level of attention to quality.

5. Less risk in the supply chain

Global events including Covid-19, the Suez Canal drama, conflict in Ukraine and more have put serious strain on supply chains. Many businesses have had to deal with parts and products being delayed or never arriving at all. Coupled with increasing awareness of worrying concerns of unethical practices makes working with a UK manufacturer a dramatically lower risk, so the flow of your construction, production or creation does not have to be interrupted.

6. The origin of the product is clear

More and more consumers are starting to really care about where their products come from. With bad labour practices being highlighted across the globe, buying products from genuine UK manufacturers helps give consumers peace of mind that the products have been ethically produced.

7. Consumers want “Made in the UK” products

This is true for not only UK citizens, but throughout the world. UK manufacturing is known for its quality as well as the country's fair labour practices. Therefore, both domestic and international consumers are willing to pay more for a British-made product. Products are, therefore, more competitive against their foreign produced counterparts.
