Industrial Automation in Cardiff

Cardiff and the South Wales Valleys have a resurgent manufacturing sector, anchored by the SWALEC semiconductor cluster at Newport, Aston Martin's St Athan super-factory, and the Ford engine plant at Bridgend's successor operations. The Nantgarw and Treforest industrial estates host a range of precision engineering and electronics firms. Wales's commitment to Industry 4.0 through the Cardiff Capital Region's compound semiconductor cluster makes PLC and SCADA training essential for local engineers seeking to stay competitive.
