Business Strategy and Outlook
Spirax-Sarco Engineering has managed to embed its products and highly qualified engineers, who act as its salesforce, into customers’ industrial and commercial processes. Approximately 50% of the group’s sales are from recurring maintenance, with an average invoice value of GBP 1,200, and a further 35% from small improvement projects with short payback periods. The recurring nature of Spirax-Sarco's sales has allowed the group to enjoy greater resilience through the economic cycle compared with the more cyclical swings in customers’ capital-expenditure budgets, which are dependent on uncontrollable macroeconomic factors.
