The Plant Engineer Directory and buyers guide… Online and in print

The new SOE Plant Engineer Directory website is the reference source for organisations and individuals wanting to specify, source and purchase plant, equipment and associated services. This definitive guide is now available online and in print.

This online directory is for operations engineers, managers and buyers who specify, install, operate, maintain and certify industrial equipment on major plant across all industry sectors – including the process industries, manufacturing, the utilities, transportation, construction, commercial buildings and the Army, Navy and Royal Air Force.

It is brought to you by the SOE (Society of Operations Engineers) – the leading membership organisation for engineers in the transport, plant and engineer surveying industries – and is the most comprehensive online directory of plant and equipment. Coverage includes electromechanical equipment, hydraulic systems, instrumentation, test and measurement systems, drives, motors, sensors, automation and controls, and industrial supplies, as well as training and consultancy services.

Plant Engineer Directory online is designed to help make your initial task of finding suppliers as fast, easy and successful as possible. However you choose to search it, you will be provided with instant contact links to suppliers that match your criteria – with location address, phone, email and web links – as well as related information. It is also reproduced and printed in January each year as the annual paper companion.

Using our global sourcing tool, with its enhanced search engine, you can perform extensive searches of our continually updated database whenever you want, 24/7. Keyword searches return information by supplier name, category type and product. Searches can also be run against our convenient and logical top line product and service category buttons on the left hand side of the webpage. Simply click on the buttons that match your product or service requirement. Then refine your search by clicking on the sub-categories presented in order to reach your own short-list of relevant suppliers.

Please note that companies returned initially will be preferred suppliers. For information on all other suppliers in your chosen category (invariably a greater number) use the link provided. also, if the terms you need do not appear in our Plant Engineer directory hierarchy, please use the keyword search provided: they are likely to be in our synonyms table and will take you to the supplier lists you require.

You can also connect to editorial content on whichever aspects of plant and operations engineering matter to you, by crossing into the SOE website's latest news and publications domains, and continuing your searches there. You will also find information on the SOE, membership and the engineering profession.

The vast majority of the data that supports Plant Engineer Directory online has been refreshed within the past 6 months. Suppliers that do not respond to our rolling data collection and validation requests are automatically excluded.
