Swagelok Central UK - Celebrating our first year of enhanced service and support

On April 9th, 2024, Swagelok Bristol and Manchester merged to form Swagelok Central UK. We consolidated our resources, invested in existing teams and created new ones, and expanded capabilities across our sites. 

The first 12 months since our merger have seen:
• 37 new hires
• Over 1,000,000 pieces picked, packed and shipped
• An up-scaled and up-skilled Procurement Team
• £1.8m investment in fixed assets
• 701 Customers trained in our expanded training facilities
• Swagelok’s EMEA Welding Service Centre established
• Creation of a CNC tube cutting and bending cell, with non-contact inspection capability
• ISO 9001 awarded across the merged business
• £5m of Swagelok inventory available for immediate despatch

As a benefit of the merger, we’ve created two focussed centres of excellence to drive efficiency and scalability across our firm:
• Warrington for Distribution
• Bristol for Fabrication

Thanks to our continuous improvement, we have been re-certified for the supply of First Level components into the Royal Navy’s nuclear submarines, and begun deliveries for the UK’s new nuclear power station construction projects. Our presence in the Hydrogen Energy and Semiconductor fabrication sectors has grown substantially. We've even seen one of our fluid system prototypes preparing to be sent to space!

Swagelok Central UK is readier than ever to help your team realise your fluid system projects. Looking ahead, our future is full of possibilities. We can't wait to put our team alongside yours.

Key Contacts

All existing relationships and 'go-to' contacts will remain in the same positions that customers are familiar with, including Business Development Managers.

In time, more resource and subject matter expertise will be at the disposal of all across the Swagelok Central UK territory, further improving the service that we can provide to our customers. Markets such as Clean Energy, Oil, Gas and Chemical, Semiconductor, and Defence will benefit from an expanding suite of manufacturing, field engineering and advisory services.

Swagelok Bristol's and Swagelok Manchester's individual service areas form the new territory for Swagelok Central UK. This new territory will reach as far south as Cornwall, include the Isle of Wight, all of Wales and stretch across the central and western regions of England up to Cumbria.

This geographic consolidation unlocks more seamless and operationally efficient ways of working for customers, especially those with multiple facilities across vast distances.
