Delegates from businesses across the North East attended a seminar at the Wilton Centre to address the challenges of Lean Manufacturing and Energy.
HG Systems Ltd, the UK’s largest independent control systems integrator, hosted the event in the lecture theatre to celebrate its recent expansion into The Wilton Centre.
Delegates heard how Lean principles can drive performance and efficiency, based on expertise from HG Systems and its strategic partner Wonderware UK.
HG Systems, which has five offices in the UK and the Middle East, set up its newest operation at The Wilton Centre to tap into its skill base by recruiting local engineers and project managers.
Sales Director Altaf Rahman said: “We really wanted to harness the potential offered by the region’s expanding technology sector and offer a local service, backed by our national structure.
“We’re delighted to bring our unique service here and wanted to welcome the move with an event that would be of real value to fellow tenants, potential employees and potential customers.”
The HG family of companies, which includes HG Safety and HG Support, operates in the chemicals, energy, nuclear, food, metals and oil and gas
sectors. It recently began work on a control system for Wilton Centre
resident Lucite’s pilot plant.
HG has a 25-40% annual growth and Rahman said: “Our customers come back to us time and again because we identify their critical issues quickly and work with them from inception to delivery, and beyond.
“Being independent, we have the freedom to put their needs first at every turn. And once their new systems are in place, our safety and support services give them long-term assurance and a turnkey service.”
HG Systems offers clients products such as SCADA and PLC, DCS, ESD and Fire & Gas, from its long-term supplier partners including Rockwell, Siemens, ABB and Wonderware UK.
