MACH 2016: Visitor numbers soar

The Manufacturing Technologies Association (MTA) has announced that visitor numbers for MACH 2016 were well up on the previous edition of the show.

Between 11th and 15th April 25,627 people visited MACH at the NEC, an increase of almost 10% on MACH 2014. James Selka CEO of the MTA which organises the exhibition on behalf of the industry said: “We are in buoyant mood after the show. There was a real buzz around the Halls and all the effort our exhibitors put in to making the show such a spectacular showcase have been worthwhile. It was fantastic to see so many people passing through the NEC, many visiting more than once, creating a real celebration of the UK’s advanced manufacturing technologies sectors.”

James Fudge head of events, said “The 10% growth on 2014 is real testament to all the hard work of everyone involved in MACH and a great reflection of the UK advanced manufacturing and engineering industry. We’re so pleased that so many exhibitors have already reserved their stands for the 2018 edition of the exhibition and we’ll continue to innovate to ensure that MACH retains its position as the UK’s premier manufacturing showcase.”
