MACH 2026: Where the UK manufacturing community comes together 

Organised by The Manufacturing Technologies Association (MTA) and owned by the industry it serves, MACH brings together the entire UK manufacturing supply chain to celebrate innovation, showcase capabilities, and address the latest market trends. 

As an industry-led event, MACH benefits from the unique insights of the MTA’s Exhibition Committee and Board, ensuring the exhibition and topics remain relevant to the challenges and opportunities of the sector. Having the exhibition run by the industry means we are across the key issues allowing us to deliver up-to-date content and the latest technology themes. 

The event is also supported by an unparalleled network of key industry associations, including Make UK, the MMMA, GTMA, BTMA, PTMA, Automate UK, Composites UK, BPF, BFPA, HVMC, and the Catapult Centres, demonstrating the collective strength and collaboration of the UK’s manufacturing community. 

"MACH is one of the pre-eminent manufacturing exhibitions and is the go-to event for companies looking at investing in automation and capital equipment. The quality of attendees and exhibitors is A list and the range of technologies on display is as good as to be found at any exhibition. Given the importance of improving the UK’s productivity performance Make UK is very happy to support such a prestigious event," said Stephen Phipson, CEO of Make UK.

MACH represents much more than an opportunity to invest in new technologies; it provides a comprehensive platform to explore the depth and breadth of the UK’s manufacturing sector. From groundbreaking advancements in machinery to showcasing capacity and capability across the supply chain, MACH 2026 is a reflection of the sector’s resilience, ingenuity, and innovation. 

"MACH is a true testament to the collaborative spirit of the UK manufacturing community," stated James Selka, CEO of MTA. "By working with our partners across the sector, we’re able to provide a unique environment where ideas flourish, partnerships are formed, and businesses thrive."

With the exhibition shaping up to be the most dynamic yet, MACH 2026 offers the 30,000+ expected attendees the opportunity to connect with key players, gain insight into the latest trends, and witness live demonstrations of cutting-edge technologies. "It’s not just a showcase, it’s a celebration of what the UK manufacturing sector can achieve when the entire community comes together over 5 days," said James Fudge, MTA's head of operations.
