Industries

Marketing for manufacturing industries, built around how each sector buys.

We work with manufacturers in seven sectors. The common thread: technical buyers who need evidence before they shortlist a supplier. Here is what those buyers check, and what your marketing should show.

Sector 01

CNC Machining

Job shops and component manufacturers running turning, VMC, HMC and multi-axis machining.

What buyers check before they shortlist

  • Machine list with make, model, bed size and axes
  • Tolerances and surface finish you hold consistently
  • Materials you machine regularly
  • Batch sizes, monthly capacity and lead times
  • Inspection set-up, such as CMM, and reports provided

What your marketing should show

One page per process (CNC turning, VMC machining, 5-axis), each opening with part-size range, tolerance, materials and capacity, and an RFQ form that accepts drawings in PDF, STEP or DWG.

Where we usually start

Capability pages and buyer keyword research, followed by RFQ follow-up in a CRM.

Sector 02

Precision Engineering

Manufacturers of close-tolerance parts, assemblies and tooling for demanding applications.

What buyers check before they shortlist

  • Tolerance and geometric control you can demonstrate
  • Measurement and inspection capability
  • Quality certifications and traceability
  • Experience with similar applications
  • How engineering questions are handled before quoting

What your marketing should show

Specific evidence of precision: inspection equipment, quality process, application examples (anonymised where needed) and the engineers buyers will talk to.

Where we usually start

Positioning and proof, so a technical buyer can trust the claim before the first call.

Sector 03

Auto Ancillary

Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers of components and sub-assemblies to automotive and EV OEMs.

What buyers check before they shortlist

  • Quality systems, for example IATF 16949 where held
  • Process capability and PPAP readiness
  • Capacity to scale with programme volumes
  • Delivery reliability and logistics
  • Existing industry experience, shown with permission

What your marketing should show

Quality systems and supplier credibility up front: certifications, process controls, capacity, and a clear route for supplier-development and purchase teams to engage.

Where we usually start

A credible company profile and website proof pages, then LinkedIn presence aimed at purchase and supplier-quality roles.

Sector 04

Fabrication

Sheet metal, structural and heavy fabrication, including laser cutting, bending, welding and finishing.

What buyers check before they shortlist

  • Project scale and maximum component size or weight
  • Materials and thicknesses handled
  • Cutting, bending and welding capability
  • Finishes such as powder coating or galvanising
  • Assembly, testing and site support

What your marketing should show

Project scale, material range and finishes, with real photographs of completed work and clear capability limits so buyers can self-qualify.

Where we usually start

Capability and project pages, plus local search visibility for the industrial areas you serve.

Sector 05

Industrial Equipment

OEMs of machines, systems and equipment sold through technical evaluation and longer sales cycles.

What buyers check before they shortlist

  • Applications and industries the equipment suits
  • Technical specifications and options
  • Installation, commissioning and after-sales support
  • Reference installations, where they can be shared
  • Total cost and lead time

What your marketing should show

Application-led pages that help engineers evaluate fit, downloadable specifications as supporting material, and a sales process that tracks long evaluations.

Where we usually start

Application pages for technical evaluation and a CRM that tracks multi-stakeholder deals.

Sector 06

Water Treatment

Manufacturers and integrators of water and wastewater treatment plants, systems and components.

What buyers check before they shortlist

  • Treatment technologies and capacities offered
  • Compliance and discharge-standard experience
  • Design, installation and operation support
  • Industries served, from pharma to food processing
  • Service and AMC capability

What your marketing should show

Clear explanations of technologies and capacities by application, compliance know-how, and service support, written for both plant engineers and management.

Where we usually start

Application and problem-led content that answers early-stage questions, connected to a consultation route.

Sector 07

Additive Manufacturing

3D printing and additive service providers working in prototyping, tooling and end-use parts.

What buyers check before they shortlist

  • Technologies and materials available
  • Build volume, accuracy and finishing
  • Prototyping versus production capability
  • File formats accepted and design support
  • Turnaround times

What your marketing should show

Technology and material pages that educate as well as sell, with a simple upload-and-quote route for designers and engineers.

Where we usually start

Educational content and search visibility for technology and material searches.
