Since the start of the year, 60 companies that have not previously exhibited at a MACH exhibition have booked stand space amounting to 1,200m2. Among these recent bookings, the largest stands were taken by Sunnen (80m2), Sodi-Tech (102m2) and Fortron (72m2). The event, which is organised by the Manufacturing Technologies Association, takes place 7-10 June at the NEC, near Birmingham.

Graham Shearsmith, the MTA’s exhibition organiser, said: “Those who are going to come out of this recession in a good position are those companies that grab the opportunities to market themselves. MACH is undoubtedly one of the best ways to show potential customers that your company means business.”

Any companies interested in booking a stand should contact Roger Kaye on 020 7298 6402.
