Southern Manufacturing: The world on your doorstep

Rather than focusing on a particular niche, Southern Manufacturing takes in the entire spectrum of engineering design and production, encompassing everything from the humblest circlip to the most sophisticated machine tools. The show has evolved far beyond the regional focus suggested by the name, with exhibitors now coming from every corner of the UK and continental Europe to take part.

Major international machinery manufacturers and dealers, for example Amada, Bystronic, Matsuura, Yamazaki Mazak, Fronius, XYZ Machine Tools, C. Dugard, Ajax Machine Tools and others, are now regular features at the show. The event's Machinery Area enables visitors to observe many of those state-of-the-art machines being put through their paces.

While visitors are certain of seeing virtually all of the regular exhibitors once again in 2014, more than 100 firms will be exhibiting for the first time. They will join the many hundreds of others, together presenting solutions to pretty much every possible industrial requirement.

The show’s free technical seminar programme is also a popular attraction and this year features its usual broad mixture of topics delivered by experts in their fields. The programme takes in everything from practical business hints and tips to a look into the latest advances in manufacturing know-how. Again, diversity of subject matter discussed means that there should be something of interest for everybody.
