We're sharing our thoughts on 2022 and what we're looking forward to next year
As we reach the end of 2022, we are looking back on a remarkable year. Much has happened on a global and national scale; we have seen turbulent times with the energy crisis, and the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has seen an unstable market for steel resources and raw materials.
John Cross, General Manager says, “As we emerged from the pandemic, the wheels of industry began to move again. The increase in oil output across the world saw the return of maintenance schedules at petrochemical facilities, which has seen a drive in piping, fitting, and fastener production.
"However, this year has not been without its struggles. The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine means that consequences are being felt nationally and globally. The shortage of steel means that our customers have experienced considerable supply chain issues, which has a knock-on effect on routine testing of manufactured products and components.
"We expect the steel shortage situation will ease in 2023, and we are readily prepared to support our customers with their testing needs as manufacturing and production processes begin to return to a form of normality.”
