2021 has been another strange year for most, with much
uncertainty surrounding the pandemic and having to adapt to new ways of working
to ensure compliance with the ever-changing government guidelines.
For us, 2021 has marked some major milestones in our
business and despite the challenging backdrop we’ve continued to grow, securing
new business both nationally and internationally and firmly cementing our reputation
as one of the UK’s leading defence engineering specialists.
One of the biggest changes for us this year has been
relocating to a much larger premises to enable us to meet the increased demand
for our products. We’ve gone from a
6,000 square foot unit on Port Talbot Waterfront Enterprise Zone, to signing a
ten-year lease for a 20,000 square foot unit on the same enterprise zone. The additional space will be critical for our
ambitious growth plans in the coming years and we’re already feeling at home in
our new unit. It was a real moment when we
had our branding completed on the outside of the building, marking it as ours.

Speaking of branding, we’ve also given our brand identity a
complete refresh this year. Since we
started the business in 2016, we haven’t just grown as a team, we’ve established
our core values and have built a reputation based on these values. It’s our precision, quality and design
capabilities that set us apart from competitors and we wanted our branding to
reinforce this.
We took part in a really interesting exercise to help us
identify exactly what we stand for as a business, we’ve refreshed our logos,
re-invested in our social media marketing and will be launching a brand-new
website which encapsulates our new identity in the new year!
Something that’s featured highly on the agenda in 2021 is
climate change, with events such as the COP26 summit taking place as well as so
many horrific climate related disasters including major floods in Germany and
China, fires ripping through Canada, California and Greece and rain, rather
than snow, falling for the first time at the summit of a rapidly melting
Greenland.
The stakes are higher than ever before, and the demand for
flood and blast defences is soaring. We’ve grown our customer base in South
East Asia and have contracts in the US and Middle East in the pipeline. Gaining international recognition for our
products which are specially engineered with the unique requirements of each of
our customers in mind, is the best accolade we can achieve. It’s testament to the superior quality of our design,
manufacturing and installation processes and we’re incredibly proud of our
team.
As we look to the new year, our focus is simple: to increase
production capacity and deliver on demand without compromising on quality. We’ll be looking to grow our team and have our
eyes on the global market as we look to export Welsh products and skills.
We’ll be sharing our journey as well as our products, case
studies and our latest news across our social channels so make sure you’re
following us on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram.
From everyone at MM Engineering, we hope you have an
enjoyable Christmas break and we look forward to working together in the New
Year.
