Subcon, The Engineer and
MWP advanced manufacturing magazine
are joining together to create a unique set of events at the NEC, Birmingham,
from 4 to 6 June 2013.
Subcon, the UK’s only dedicated national exhibition for
contract and subcontract manufacturing, will be joined by a new event, The
Advanced Manufacturing Show, which will be supported by MWP, and a two-day summit organised by The Engineer.
Driven by the marketing power of The Engineer and MWP, Subcon’s
extensive database and the support of key industry partners, this group of
events will deliver a critical mass of leading suppliers and motivated
visitors.
Grant Burgham, Business Development and Portfolio Director at
Centaur Exhibitions, said: “These events demonstrate a fresh approach to
UK manufacturing exhibitions and will be a critical destination for engineers,
sourcing teams and manufacturing management across all sectors and disciplines.”
A well-established annual event, Subcon covers every aspect
of outsourced manufacturing services, from design and prototyping,
machining, moulding, fabrication, composites and electronics assembly to
finishing and testing.
Thanks to its clear focus on its core market it has doubled
in size in the last five years and is set to attract over 300 exhibitors in
2013. Underlining its ability to attract decision makers from all sectors who
want to identify potential manufacturing partners, many leading UK
subcontractors have already booked their stands for next year’s show.
The new Advanced Manufacturing Show provides a perfect
complement, featuring the machine tools, tooling, metrology equipment, software
and ancillary equipment that UK manufacturers need to stay competitive in
global markets.
The show will attract engineers from across every sector of
UK manufacturing, as well as senior management responsible for long-term
investment decisions.
Over half of the visitors to Subcon 2012 said they were interested
in more content on advanced manufacturing and optimising manufacturing
processes. A third of them had responsibility for sourcing new machinery and
equipment as well as subcontract services.
Together, Subcon and the Advanced Manufacturing Show will
allow visitors to meet all their in-house and outsourced manufacturing
requirements and refine their make/buy strategies.
Complementing these two exhibitions, and highlighting new ideas
and breaking technologies, is a two-day conference aimed at engineers and manufacturing management across
all sectors and disciplines.
Led by The Engineer, The Engineer Conference will
invite leading international experts to provide an exciting insight into the
latest innovations and technologies across the engineering spectrum. This will
run in parallel with sessions focusing on the latest advances in manufacturing
technology and best practice in subcontracting, outsourcing and supplier
management.
Grant Burgham concluded: “These three events will attract
professionals from right across UK engineering and provide a unique opportunity
for companies to showcase their products and services, find new suppliers, build
new relationships and grow their business.
“Together they provide a new focus for excellence in UK
manufacturing, with a critical mass of exhibitors and visitors and some fresh
thinking that will certainly make a big impact in the market.”
