Connecting Industry (www.connectingindustry.com), the online hub of the UK’s leading portfolio of industrial publications, has been completely re-engineered and re-launched.

Connecting Industry is already the UK’s largest and most comprehensive online resource for engineers and manufacturing professionals, but now it has been given a complete redesign making it more attractive, easier to navigate and user friendly. New search options, an unrivalled supplier database, interactive events calendar and rich multi-media content, together with links to all the major social networks, will ensure that Connecting Industry remains the number one online source of information for the manufacturing industry.

Features of the new site include increased Connecting Industry branding of the home of the UK’s largest and strongest portfolio of industrial magazines. The new site is easy to navigate and full of rich multi-media content and an industrial website experience second to none.

Each of the Connecting Industry publications now has a section of its own so that visitors can go straight to the magazine/story that is of most relevance and interest to them.

The new site offers a fully interactive search tool for anyone wanting to read the latest industry news, quality editorial in the form of application articles and case studies, and find the products and/or suppliers they require. The searchable database allows users to find companies by product category, geographical location, alphabetically or by keyword search – and to do it faster and more efficiently than ever before.

Integral to the new site is built-in web 2.0 functionality so that it integrates seamlessly with social networks. In this way Connecting Industry will build a community between magazines, readers and suppliers. ConnectingIndustry.com will therefore continue to be the first website engineers and manufacturing professionals think of when they require the latest information.

A comprehensive and fully interactive events calendar provides information on the most important industry exhibitions, seminars and training events and provides a useful way for people in the industry to network.

The new site makes it even easier to read the latest digital editions of Datateam’s industrial magazines, register to receive printed copies and sign-up for regular e-newsletters.

A brand new and bespoke administration tool allows our editorial staff to upload the latest news stories and content quickly and easily keeping the site up to date and maintaining its position as the leading online industrial news resource.

There are now also many more advertising opportunities, both in terms of space and interesting and different ways for companies to get their message across to our dedicated readership.
