NEWS SpringsTec Fair 2013 to launch in Stuttgart
SpringsTec Fair 2013 will take place from 26th H – 28th February 2013 at Messe Stuttgart, Germany, and will focus on industrial springs, spring parts and systems.
eld alongside the well-established Fastener Fair event, Europe’s largest event for the fixing and fastening industry, SpringsTec Fair 2013 is a dedicated trade show for the international springs industry which focuses on all aspects of the design, production and distribution of technical springs, spring parts, spring systems, as well as related services such as quality testing and control. At the three-day event visitors from a whole range of industrial sectors, including the
automotive, electrical, machinery, engineering, rail and aerospace, medical and office equipment industries will meet suppliers of the very latest in spring and spring technology products. Europe’s manufacturers of technical springs and spring systems have seen a growing demand for their products from end-user
industry sectors, such as automotive, electrical and other types of engineering. In 2010 spring makers produced well over 3 billion euros of industrial springs and spring parts and the sector has since seen a significant upswing in activity. “Springs companies have been at the centre of a continuous drive for more efficiency and innovation in the whole of the supply
chain. In order to compete on a global level, manufacturers have increased differentiation, added value and know-how to their products. At SpringsTec Fair 2013 in Stuttgart, Europe’s springs manufacturers will have an opportunity to showcase the leading products and expertise in this key engineering sector. SpringsTec Fair 2013 exists for springs professionals and engineering buyers from across Europe and around the world – to assess, specify, buy, sell and network,” says David Tellett, managing director of organiser Mack Brooks Exhibitions Ltd. “We have had very positive reactions from industry leaders who
welcome a dedicated meeting point for producers, distributors, engineers and other professionals from the sector. In Stuttgart, the event takes place in the very heartland of Europe’s spring and engineering industry,” David Tellett concludes. For companies who are interested in exhibiting at SpringsTec
Fair 2013, a sales brochure with more information, including specifics for the ‘Early Bird’ discount that runs until the 1st
June 2012, is

delighted that Tim is taking on this critical quality management role, because he has extensive metallurgical experience and is well respected within the company,” says Keighley Labs MD, Debbie Mellor. “This year is particularly important since we are looking to attain Airbus and NADCAP accreditations, recognised as the most technically demanding across industry, which will open up fresh market avenues for us and reassure our existing customers that we maintain the ultimate quality standards.” A youthful-looking 54 year old, Tim Clegg is a highly regarded fell and road runner and has been a member of Keighley & Craven AC for around thirty years. In April, he competed in the demanding Yorkshire Three Peaks fell race for the tenth consecutive year.
