Always producing the goods

Food and beverage is the UK’s largest manufacturing sector, and March consistently delivers outstanding productivity gains to major global brands who have facilities here.

Our integrated engineering solutions help save energy, accelerate production and enhance quality in these technically challenging environments.

As a single long-term engineering partner we maintain, and crucially improve, your facilities, your processes and your control systems. Vital interventions when the entire food and beverage industry faces rising costs and unstable supply chains.

Maximising productivity

We specialise in improving your productivity, working with customers to deliver reliability in engineering services, and automation & control solutions that improve Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). Ultimately we help you maintain your competitive advantage.

End-to-end solutions

March self-delivers all the mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, control and automation (MEICA) solutions inhouse. We craft the most compelling, integrated solution, saving you the cost and complexity of managing multiple unrelated providers.

Meeting HSEQ demands

We meet the most tightly-regulated HSEQ demands of the food and beverage industry, with health and safety transparently at the heart of everything we do. We bring a wealth of compliance experience in hygienic and process environments to every solution.

Decarbonisation by design

Efficiency makes your facilities more sustainable as well as more productive. We build energy saving into every aspect of our work from the technology we install on your site, to the maintenance and operation of the process and facilities, and the data services that monitor, optimise and protect your operations.

Total cost control

Because we’re able to provide everything you need across the spectrum of capital and operational expenditure, we provide visibility of the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). This is a powerful benefit in a market where cost and clarity are critical factors.
