Hit the north for manufacturing

摘要

Northern Manufacturing & Electronics, the north's top manufacturing technology and electronics show, returns to Event City, Manchester on 28-29 September. The event has evolved consistently over its three-year history, and is again expected to build both visitor and exhibitor numbers for 2016. A key highlight of the exhibition is its RoadRailAir zone, targeting the region's important supply-chain strong points in the automotive, public transport and aerospace manufacturing industries. Last year's exhibition pulled in almost 2,900 industrial buyers from across the country, with automotive and aerospace manufacturing being particularly well represented. Northern Manufacturing & Electronics has speedily grown to be a key event for the north's engineering professionals. Further growth this year will enable visitors to Northern Manufacturing 2016 to meet an even wider variety of vendors, ranging from regional specialists to leading international corporations. Firms including Amada, LCL Electronics, Igus UK, Bystronic, Olympus, Nikon Metrology, Yamazaki Mazak and Trumpf are some of the more recognisable names represented. The event mirrors the style of the popular Southern Manufacturing & Electronics Show, which now ranks as a leading annual engineering exhibition in the UK, attended by many hundreds of companies, in particular, some of the most popular machinery and industrial equipment brands in the world.
