In September 2021, Weir Group experienced a sophisticated ransomware attack that prompted the isolation of critical IT systems, including enterprise resource planning and engineering applications. The attack caused temporary disruptions to shipments, manufacturing, and engineering activities, leading to an estimated £50 million of deferred revenue and overhead under‑recoveries for the affected month. Although facilities remained operational and no immediate order cancellations were reported, recovery efforts concentrated on partial system restoration over the following weeks. Residual effects of the incident were expected to delay some fourth‑quarter revenue into the subsequent year and to present ongoing overhead challenges. Throughout the episode, Weir Group emphasized responsive customer mitigation measures while prioritizing secure infrastructure restoration and long‑term resilience improvements.
