MACH 2024 

The international trade fair for machine tools and manufacturing technology MACH will take place from April 15 - 19, 2024 at the NEC in Birmingham.

MACH is the ultimate showcase for engineering manufacturing technologies in the UK. No other UK event brings together so many key decision makers under one roof over five days.

Present your company to more than 19,000 trade visitors with real buying power who want to meet new suppliers, find new products, network and build new business relationships.

Addressing the current challenges facing the industry - rising energy prices, rising labor costs, skills shortages, escalating commodity prices, supply chain disruption and the need to effectively address the green agenda by seizing the opportunities of decarbonization - will be a particular focus

"Despite the political uncertainty, companies in the UK have surprisingly ramped up their production. In January, output in the manufacturing sector increased by 0.6 percent compared to the previous month, according to data from the ONS statistics office. Economists had only expected an increase of 0.2 percent. In industry alone, there was an increase of 0.8 percent, the first rise in seven months." (Source: spiegel.de)
