MACH 2026, the UK’s premier manufacturing and engineering exhibition, has already secured more than 65% of its floorplan, 16 months ahead of the event. Organised by The Manufacturing Technologies Association (MTA) and owned by the industry it serves, MACH brings together the entire UK manufacturing supply chain to celebrate innovation, showcase capabilities, and address the latest market trends. 

As an industry-led event, MACH benefits from the unique insights of the MTA’s Exhibition Committee and Board, ensuring the exhibition and topics remain relevant to the challenges and opportunities of the sector. Having the exhibition run by the industry means we are across the key issues allowing us to deliver up-to-date content and the latest technology themes. 

The event is also supported by an unparalleled network of key industry associations, including Make UK, the MMMA, GTMA, BTMA, PTMA, Automate UK, Composites UK, BPF, BFPA, HVMC, and the Catapult Centres, demonstrating the collective strength and collaboration of the UK’s manufacturing community. 

Stephen Phipson, the Chief Executive of Make UK, commented: “MACH is one of the pre-eminent manufacturing exhibitions and is the go-to event for companies looking at investing in automation and capital equipment. The quality of attendees and exhibitors is A list and the range of technologies on display is as good as to be found at any exhibition. Given the importance of improving the UK’s productivity performance Make UK is very happy to support such a prestigious event.”

MACH represents much more than an opportunity to invest in new technologies; it provides a comprehensive platform to explore the depth and breadth of the UK’s manufacturing sector. From groundbreaking advancements in machinery to showcasing capacity and capability across the supply chain, MACH 2026 is a reflection of the sector’s resilience, ingenuity, and innovation. 

“MACH is a true testament to the collaborative spirit of the UK manufacturing community,” said James Selka, the Chief Executive Officer of MTA “By working with our partners across the sector, we’re able to provide a unique environment where ideas flourish, partnerships are formed, and businesses thrive.” 

With the exhibition shaping up to be the most dynamic yet, MACH 2026 offers the 30,000+ expected attendees the opportunity to connect with key players, gain insight into the latest trends, and witness live demonstrations of cutting-edge technologies. “It’s not just a showcase, it’s a celebration of what the UK manufacturing sector can achieve when the entire community comes together over 5 days.” said James Fudge, MTA’s Head of Operations. 

 

Attracting 26,000 attendees and more than 500 exhibitors, MACH is the platform to connect UK manufacturing engineers, decision makers, buyers, and specifiers with suppliers of new technology, equipment, services, and processes. 

MACH is owned and organised by The Manufacturing Technologies Association, the voice of the manufacturing technologies industry, committed to driving innovation, creating value, and helping UK manufacturing to thrive.
