Inside Siemens Congleton: Productivity in Practice

Discover how Siemens Congleton is improving productivity, applying technology with purpose, and sustaining a culture of continuous improvement.

This one-day visit offers a chance to see behind the scenes at one of the UK’s most effective and adaptable manufacturing operations. A clear focus on simplification, automation, and team engagement has shaped recent changes to their Surface Mount Technology area and wider assembly operations.

You’ll join a small group of peers for a practical visit, co-facilitated by Stratagia and the Manufacturers Network. The day includes structured insights, on-site learning, and opportunities to share and reflect on improvement approaches in a real-world context.
