Is it too early to start talking about winter? At Econ, we don't think so ❄️

After all, some things are worth looking forward to...

The Grit & Glory Awards are returning for 2026, and we've got a few surprises up our sleeve! Think new opportunities, new reasons to celebrate, and yes... brand-new categories.

We'll be sharing more details soon, so keep your eyes peeled.

UK manufacturing isn’t simply about where products are made. It’s about the value they create.

Over the past six weeks, we’ve explored how UK manufacturing supports skilled jobs, develops future talent, strengthens supply chains, delivers social value, drives innovation and helps communities thrive.

Econ is proud to play our part in that story.

As one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of winter maintenance and highways vehicles, we’ll continue investing in the people, partnerships and engineering excellence that help keep the UK’s roads moving.

Because when you invest in UK manufacturing, you invest in something much bigger.

anufacturing doesn’t end when a vehicle leaves the factory.

Keeping equipment working is just as important as building it in the first place.

At Econ, our parts operation plays a vital role in supporting customers and keeping vehicles on the road.

750,000 parts.

That’s how many parts we have stocked in our Ripon parts department at any one time, helping ensure customers can access the components they need for seamless maintenance and support.

And the scale of what goes into an Econ vehicle is just as impressive.

Around 90,000 individual parts are precision-cut by laser for every Econ vehicle, right here at our Ripon factory.

From the initial sheet of steel to the finished vehicle, an enormous amount of engineering, manufacturing expertise and attention to detail goes into every Econ product.

Our online parts store then provides customers with access to the components they need to maintain their equipment throughout its working life.

Because UK manufacturing isn't just about what you build. It's about the expertise behind it, the support that follows and keeping what you build working for longer.

The best engineering partnerships don’t end when a vehicle leaves the factory.

They continue through service, support, innovation and collaboration.

We’re proud to work alongside local authorities and contractors across the UK, building long-term relationships that help keep roads safe and essential services running throughout the year.

Our long-standing partnership with Kent County Council and Ringway is a great example of this in action, with our teams working together to support the county’s winter maintenance requirements and deliver long-term value.

The most sustainable product is often the one that lasts.

UK manufacturing has long been built on quality, reliability and engineering excellence.

We design equipment to support customers throughout its operational life, backed by service, refurbishment, replacement parts and technical expertise.

But long-term value is also about continually improving how equipment performs. Our Spargo Control System puts intelligent control at the heart of precision spreading, while our CRC Distributor helps winter maintenance teams apply salt more precisely and efficiently.

Together, these technologies demonstrate how engineering innovation can help customers achieve greater control, improve efficiency and support more sustainable winter maintenance.

You can read more about the importance of precision technology in winter maintenance here: https://econ.uk.com/news/the-importance-of-precision-technology-in-winter-maintenance/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

Whole-life value has always mattered, and it matters more than ever today.

The future of manufacturing depends on building responsibly today.

Across the UK, manufacturers are investing in cleaner technologies, improving efficiency and reducing environmental impact.

We’re committed to that journey through continued investment in sustainable manufacturing, renewable energy, innovation and products designed to deliver long-term value.

Our Carbon Reduction Plan sets out the steps we’re taking to measure, manage and reduce our carbon emissions, helping us make meaningful progress towards a more sustainable future.

Because building for the future means thinking beyond today.

Strong manufacturing businesses help build strong communities.

Whether it’s supporting local initiatives, encouraging young people into engineering or investing in skills, manufacturing has a positive impact far beyond production.

It’s critical that we play our part by supporting the communities where we live and work, while helping local authorities deliver essential services that benefit millions of people every day.

For us, supporting our community also means supporting people with the ambition, determination and drive to achieve extraordinary things. That’s why we’re proud to have supported record-breaking solo sailor Jasmine Harrison on her incredible journey.

Manufacturing creates value that reaches far beyond the factory gate.

Every skilled job created, every apprentice trained and every local supplier supported contributes to stronger communities and a more resilient economy.

We’re proud that the work we do supports not only our customers, but also the people and communities around us through employment, training, investment and long-term partnerships.

Here’s an example of one of our community activities this year, inspiring the next generation - https://econ.uk.com/news/goldie-the-gritter-inspires-burys-next-generation-of-engineers/

Behind every successful manufacturer is a network of trusted partners.

UK manufacturing thrives when businesses work together, combining expertise, sharing knowledge and building long-term relationships. Our partnership with Mercedes-Benz Trucks UK and Northside Truck & Van Ltd - Mercedes-Benz is a great example of this.

Recent years have shown that resilient supply chains matter more than ever. When global disruption, material shortages or transport delays affect the movement of goods, the consequences can quickly be felt by the organisations and communities that rely on them.

For organisations delivering essential public services, reliability isn't optional.

That's why UK manufacturing, backed by a strong nationwide support network, plays such an important role.

At Econ, our support starts at our manufacturing facility in Ripon, North Yorkshire, and extends across the UK.

From our Super Service Centre in Sowerby to our depots in Alloa, Scotland, Cardiff, Wales and Halesworth, Suffolk, we are positioned to support customers wherever they are.

And with 40+ mobile engineers operating across the country, our expertise can be where it's needed, when it's needed.

Designing, manufacturing and supporting equipment closer to our customers helps improve responsiveness, strengthen resilience and provide confidence when it matters most.

Because when winter arrives, resilience makes all the difference.
