Scotland’s Manufacturing Industry

From its 19th Century origins as a world leader and pioneer in fields such as shipbuilding, heavy engineering and textiles, the manufacturing and engineering industry in Scotland has demonstrated resilience in adapting to changing market and economics circumstances over the decades, and has successfully regenerated into the diverse and globally competitive sector we know today.

Government and industry in Scotland are committed to continuing to improve productivity and increase investment in the manufacturing and engineering sectors, as a means of helping to redress regional imbalances, and in order to grow the Scottish economy. Initiatives such as the development of the National Manufacturing Institute for Scotland (NMIS) and the Medicines Manufacturing Innovation Centre (MMIC) are helping to drive innovation, establish links with academia and encourage businesses to harness new technologies to enhance efficiency.
