The Weir Group has been making their global customers more efficient for nearly 150 years. Their committment to innovation began in 1871 when two engineers, brothers James and George Weir, found a new way to improve steamship performance.

Based in Glasgow, Scotland – one of the great ship building cities of the age – their direct-acting feed pump led to significant gains in efficiency and reliability, and meant Weir's products and services were soon in demand all over the world.

James' son, William Weir, summed up the company's philosophy, "singling out specific products and materials, settling upon their performance, properties, and dimensions, and in concentrating upon them both in production and in use, to the end of bringing about the greatest possible industrial efficiency."

The age of the steamship may have passed but demand for innovative engineering solutions remains. In the last century, Weir has helped build houses, provide clean drinking water and even assisted in the development of the auto-giro, the predecessor of the modern helicopter.

What They Do:

They work with their customers to deliver products and services that improve efficiency and lower total operating costs in the mining, oil and gas, power and industrial markets.

Their engineering solutions play an integral role in delivering vital energy and industrial processes.

Their expertise allows natural resources to be processed on the world's mine sites. It helps release oil and gas from some of the most challenging operating environments, and their critical components and services assist in providing the safe and effective generation of power across the world.

They seek to be a trusted partner of choice to their customers wherever and whenever they need us.

Their products and services are sought-after in many other industries, including water and waste-water, chemicals and fertilisers, agriculture, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, pulp and paper and steel and marine engineering.
