Swansea Aerospace, Manufacturing, and Life Sciences

Founded in 2005, Sigma Recruitment quickly established itself as a specialist capable of supporting the region. When it comes to manufacturing recruitment Swansea has a diverse industrial sector that requires specific technical knowledge.

The city and county of Swansea act as the regional centre for business and industry in South West Wales, supporting areas including Neath, Llanelli, Port Talbot, and the Swansea Valley. The region has a rich industrial heritage, famously serving as a metallurgical and tinplate centre.

Today, the area is home to major companies such as 3M UK and Morganite Electrical Carbon. Recent decades have seen significant movement around the city outskirts, including major distribution centres established by Amazon. The Technium concept for high technology firms launched at SA1 on the waterfront, alongside facilities on the university campus. Furthermore, the Institute of Life Sciences attracts significant attention to the region.

While there are many manufacturing employment agencies Swansea engineering firms often require a more technical approach to fill roles in medical device manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, FMCG, and electronics.
