Consumer demand for convenience and single-use products continues to grow. At the same time, they want to minimize waste and are choosing more socially responsible products. 

Supply chain challenges have been affecting all manufacturing sectors since the start of the COVID pandemic, and industrial pump manufacture is no exception.

Supply chain issues are often regarded as primarily a purchasing challenge, yet the impact on engineers can be just as great. When specific components become scarce, engineers are in the hot seat to evaluate and qualify alternatives, often under high pressure from purchasing and manufacturing to react quickly.

This article explains the top three ways pump designers can capitalize on and leverage LOCTITE^® solutions that are part of proven best practice in other sectors, to be more robust to withstand future supply chain disruptions. 

While record profits in 2022 positioned oil and gas companies well to invest and develop new strategies (source: Deloitte Oil and Gas Industry Outlook 2023), ongoing uncertainties and competitive headwinds mean that operational resilience and equipment reliability have to be continuing priorities for producers and refiners.

Pipes, tanks, and containment areas each have their own challenges when it comes to maintaining a robust operation, and LOCTITE^® delivers effective, efficient proactive repair and maintenance solutions to keep them running with minimal downtime.
