Four events: One venue

 The series of co-located events which will take place at the NEC, Birmingham on Wednesday 23rd and Thursday 24th May promises to provide UK engineers from across all industry sectors and from companies of every size, with a plethora of new products and updates from throughout the manufacturing chain - from design and development through to production and into packaging and despatch.

James Meire, UBM Canon's event manager, says: "Together in one place and under one roof, some of the best of British manufacturing will be on display, demonstrated and discussed to bring manufacturing professionals completely up to date in every discipline they need to retain their competitive edge." The events are: Midlands Design & Manufacturing - an event for the British manufacturing sector Mtec, Sensors, Measurement & Instrumentation. Companies will be showcasing the latest in control, instrumentation, sensor and measurement technology. The event is supported by the Institute of Measurement & Control and there will be a co-located conference programme.

MEDTEC UK exhibition. This will be accompanied by a conference that will target medical device design and development best practice.

3C, Contamination Control & Cleanroom Products.

James Meire continues: "Britain's manufacturing companies continue to stake their claim for global recognition in terms of their ability to design and develop groundbreaking products, as well as performing value-for-money production routines. This year's exhibitions will showcase many best-in-class examples of this.

"In addition, the accompanying education programmes being planned - including the recently-announced i-Zone theatre - will also tap into some of the best brains in the industry, to make delegates completely aware of not only what's new but, importantly, some of the strategies and trends that are on the horizon - visitors, therefore, can tap into this knowledge bank to help them stay one step ahead of the competition."
