WAGO connector heritage. By strengthening its expertise in automation, energy, and smart technologies, the company aims to become one of the UK’ s most trusted engineering partners, helping customers build safer, more efficient, and more sustainable operations. Guided by its vision of being the backbone of a smart, connected world, WAGO will continue to empower connections that drive innovation and long-term success.
“ The key message is that WAGO’ s success has always been built on connections,” Darren reveals.“ More than one billion connectors sold in the UK over the last decade is an achievement of which we are extremely proud, but it also represents millions of individual moments where a customer has placed their trust in our brand. We want to build on that trust and show customers that WAGO can support far more of their electrical, electronic, and automation requirements.”
“ For manufacturers, the pace of technological change is accelerating. Businesses need to become more productive, more energy-efficient, more connected, and more resilient,” John adds, concluding our conversation.“ WAGO brings together strong German engineering, an open automation philosophy, and an established UK customer and partner network. That puts us in an excellent position to help businesses modernize without creating unnecessary complexity.
“ We are proud of our 75-year heritage, but we are equally excited about the role WAGO can play in the next generation of UK industry.” ■
