Show returns and it's bigger than ever

Southern Manufacturing & Electronics returns to FIVE, Farnborough, on 16th and 17th February 2011. Following another year of unprecedented demand, organiser, European Trade & Exhibition Services (ETES) has added a further 750m2 of exhibition space for the show, yet stand sales have continued at such a rate that even this may not be enough to accommodate all the companies wishing to take part.

Show director, Phil Valentine, says: "Stand sales had already exceeded the final total for the 2010 event by mid- September. The 2011 show will be without doubt the biggest Southern Manufacturing we've ever staged." In addition to the array of industrial hardware on display - everything from live machinery demonstrations to consumables and components, the show hosts a free seminar programme. Covering both business and technical topics, the programme is delivered by experts in their fields and is designed to be of benefit to anyone involved in manufacturing and industry.

IP&E will include a preview of Southern Manufacturing 2011 in its January issue.
