New strategic partnerships
16 December 2025
AUTOMATION FIRM, adi Lean Manufacturing & Design, has agreed three new strategic partnerships with Schneider Electric, Desoutter Tools, and Balluff, further strengthening its offering to UK manufacturers.

Founded in 2011, adi Lean Manufacturing & Design specialises in designing and building bespoke engineering solutions. This ranges from robot cells and full assembly lines to manual workstations and trackside equipment.
The first partnership with Schneider Electric builds on a 10-year relationship and formally recognises the division as a Registered Alliance Partner system integrator within Schneider Electric’s Global Alliance Partner Programme.
Sam Curson, BDM at adi Lean Manufacturing & Design, said: “Achieving partner accreditation reflects our team’s focus on delivering tailored automation systems that cut production costs and unlock new capabilities, as well as improve product quality for our customers.
“Working even more closely with Schneider Electric enhances our technical competency with Schneider products and allows us to meet our client’s needs with more advanced technical solutions.
Samira El Kassimi, robotics and automation business development manager at Schneider Electric, welcomed the strengthened collaboration. She said: “Through the Alliance System Integrator Partner Programme, we work with integrators who share our ambition to deliver more efficient and more sustainable automation. adi Lean Manufacturing & Design brings strong expertise in lean production and turnkey assembly lines.
“Adding them to our UK Alliance network means more manufacturers can access that capability, backed by Schneider Electric’s global technologies and support.”
