Process sector gets together to grow the market
GAMBICA, the UK trade association for instrumentation, control, automation and laboratory technology, will host the eleventh edition of the Measurement and Control Information Exchange System (MACIES) event, at the Siemens headquarters in Manchester on March 21, 2014.
The informal gathering will review market data, estimate the UK market size for around 40 different product categories and make predictions for the next financial year.
It represents an opportunity for process industry manufacturers and distributors to objectively analyse and discuss valuable data and look at strategic initiatives to encourage the growth of the processing sector.
Previous discussions at the MACIES gathering have included instrumentation and control products, primarily for the process industries, which includes pressure and level instruments, flowmeters, recorders, analytical instruments, smart positioners, field devices, control systems and infrared temperature measurement. This year also sees the formation of a new collection for gas chromatographs.
“The MACIES event has become a tradition for process companies. It’s an excellent opportunity for well-established businesses to meet fellow industry leaders and for smaller, newer companies to become a part of the community,” enthused Andrew Evans, technical executive at GAMBICA.
“It also gives us a chance to better coordinate our efforts for the next financial year, based on very accurate and insightful industry data. This will help the industry continue to grow in a sustainable, responsible manner.”
Companies interested in attending the event can find out more or confirm their presence by e-mailing: [email protected]. Tickets are £60 for GAMBICA members and MACIES is open to non-GAMBICA members for £120.
