According to a recent article<\/a> by Trading Economics, the UK Manufacturing PMI (Purchasing Managers\u2019 Index) has reached a new high this September, at 55.40, representing the highest value achieved since June 2014, as some of the individual indexes used to determine the PMI, such as growth of output, new orders and employment saw an increase.<\/p>\n

The UK Manufacturing PMI is used to determine the health and growth or decline of the manufacturing industry in the UK, with values over 50 indicating an improvement compared to the previous month.<\/p>\n

Despite recent events, such as the Brexit, which have impacted the UK Manufacturing PMI that achieved a year-low in July, so far, it\u2019s encouraging to see these metrics improve and values rising steadily in recent months and the very promising PMI achieved in September.<\/p>\n

Derek Marsh, Marketing Manager at Granta Automation said \u201cIt\u2019s good to see the PMI rising, especially after the concerns that spread within the industry as to what the effect of the Brexit might be. Here, at Granta Automation, we\u2019ve also noticed an increase in the number of orders we\u2019ve received recently from manufacturing companies, and we are delighted that we can deliver quotes faster than ever now, due to our innovative project builder<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n
