About us
From our foundation we’ve always sought to solve our customers’ toughest challenges. It is what engineers do, and it is what Weir does best. We have chosen to serve natural resources markets because they are vital to current and future economic development. As the world’s population grows and increasingly urbanises it will require more infrastructure from roads and buildings to electric vehicles and renewable grids.
While these resources are essential they need to be accessed and processed responsibly and sustainably. That is where innovative engineers – expert problem solvers – have a crucial role to play. It is why we work in partnership with our customers to engineer solutions that make their operations safer, more efficient and more sustainable.
We have research centres and manufacturing facilities around the world designing and producing a range of highly engineered solutions used in high wear applications. These are supported by an unrivalled global service network that ensures Weir engineers can provide our customers with the solutions they need where and when they need them.
