Who We Are

The Black Country Industrial Cluster is a not-for-profit organisation that supports, informs and represents its members and local industry through the transition to net zero.

Our Mission

The UK's most central and strategic industrial cluster, our mission is to provide a clear voice for dispersed manufacturing supply chains in industrial and energy policy.

Our History

The Black Country Industrial Cluster was formed from the legacy of the ‘Repowering the Black Country’ project, one of seven industrial cluster decarbonisation projects funded by the Government from 2020-2023.

What We Do

The Black Country Industrial Cluster covers an inland area in the West Midlands, across Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall, and Wolverhampton. Consisting of more than 3000 Energy Intensive manufacturing businesses, we understand both the challenges and opportunities decarbonisation presents, and work alongside businesses and various local and national government departments, to support and advocate for the development of an innovative and world-leading net zero industrial cluster by 2040.
