“The skill, dedication and innovation on display are inspiring – and it’s clear this company is not only flying the flag for British manufacturing across the world but also providing fantastic opportunities for local people.”
The company produces flow and temperature measurement devices used in industries including energy, water, food and pharmaceuticals.
During his visit, Mr MacAlister met staff, toured the workshops and spoke with apprentices.
Anand Puthran, CEO of McMenon, said: “We were delighted to welcome Josh and show him around.
“While most of what we make is exported, our heart is in West Cumbria.
“Our team is proud to contribute to the local economy and to help nurture the next generation of engineers from our community.”
With more than 75 years of manufacturing heritage in the region, McMenon continues to operate from its Workington base, employing staff from across West Cumbria.
