Yorkshire Fittings (YF), the UK market leader in the manufacture of fittings and valves for the plumbing industry, and 600 Group, the UK’s biggest machine tool maker, are reminders that there are some traditional engineering companies in West Yorkshire that are still going strong.
“A lot of the engineering business has migrated overseas,” says Mike Saunders, YF’s managing director. “But we think it is important for our customers to be able to offer them a rapid response and not have to wait eight weeks for it to be shipped from the Far East.”
