Exporting pumps and pump parts to the United Kingdom

The United Kingdom is the third-largest importer of pumps in Europe. Not surprisingly, the country also hosts a considerable number of pump-manufacturing activities. The best opportunities for exporters from developing countries are for parts subcontractors for any of the 50 manufacturers based there. Another good option for exporters from developing countries would be to target distributors. In all cases, exporters from developing countries should focus on just a few specialised pumps within their range of products. Finally, pricing strategies must be highly competitive, as buyers in the United Kingdom are relatively price-sensitive.
