Manufacturers rush to join new trade show

A NEW manufacturing trade show taking place at the NEC has successfully attracted firms from the machine tools, tooling, production software and metrology sectors.

The Advanced Manufacturing Show takes place at the NEC between June 4 and 6 and will feature firms such as Yamazaki Mazak and XYZ, software experts Delcam and Seiki Systems, tooling manufacturers Sumitomo Electric Hardmetal, ITC and WNT, and an impressive roster of metrology companies, including Renishaw, Hexagon Metrology, Faro and Nikon.

The exhibition runs alongside Subcon, the UK event for contract and sub-contract manufacturers.

Damien Cleugh, Head of Marketing, Mazak Europe, said: “We are always keen to demonstrate the latest in advanced metal cutting technology and promote our machines to the widest possible audience.  Our participation at Advanced Manufacturing is recognition of the vital role that trade shows still play in helping potential customers get close to our machines.  Its location, within a short drive of our European Manufacturing plant in Worcester, is ideal in ensuring that our Midlands-based customers will be in attendance.”

Trevor Tolley, General Manager, Sumitomo Electric Hardmetal, added: “The Advanced Manufacturing Show will provide Sumitomo Electric Hardmetal with the ideal opportunity and platform to present their high performance cutting tools for turning, milling, drilling, and boring applications.”

Tony Pennington, Managing Director of WNT (UK) said the company would be using the event to highlight its latest tooling developments, adding: “The fact that Advanced Manufacturing is co-located with Subcon is a big attraction for WNT.”

Complementing the Advanced Manufacturing and Subcon exhibitions is a three-day programme of free seminars on practical aspects of manufacturing technology and subcontract sourcing.

Grant Burgham, Business Development and Portfolio Director at event organiser, Centaur Exhibitions, said: “It is clear that the market has welcomed our fresh approach to the manufacturing technology sector. With this group of events we will attract senior engineering and manufacturing buyers from all sectors of manufacturing. We are sure it will prove to be a very successful event for both exhibitors and visitors.”
