Most engineering design activity is predominantly conducted within original equipment
manufacturers. However, many other manufacturing companies also carry out design
work for in-plant applications. Increased outsourcing by larger manufacturers has
led to significant employment of design engineers in contract manufacturing and
service companies. In fact 40% of engineering designers work outside the original
equipment market.
The question is, where does product design actually take place and how is it organised?
Only FDM answers this question systematically, site-by-site
Supported by Eureka – (The leading
monthly publication for the UK engineering design market), our data includes over
34,241 design engineers, managers, directors and purchasers who influence, specify
or purchase components involved in today’s engineering designs.
Our research into job functions at contact level allows you to select the precise
individual at each establishment that is correct for your marketing message.
