UK manufacturing ''enjoying success overseas''British manufacturers are "taking their products out to the world and winning", it has been claimed.

Group managing director ENER-G Derek Duffill declared that "many people mistakenly believe that the UK manufacturing industry has been dismantled and largely outsourced to China", but this is not the case.

Mr Duffill pointed to the success of his organisation in taking its production and engineering prowess to other countries and insisted "export is crucial to the success of UK plc".

Operations management professionals may be interested in his comments that firms such as ENER-G are also leading the move towards a low-carbon economy both in the UK and overseas.

The production expert's comments follow a report by EEF, the manufacturers' organisation, which indicated rates of activity in the sector rose during the three months to September 2010, boosted by strong export sales, with the industry expected to outpace total UK economic growth during 2011.ADNFCR-3058-ID-800281783-ADNFCR
