Southern Manufacturing and Electronics 2018 enthralled and educated attendees, with a mix of exhibitors from the manufacturing and electronics sectors, and a topical and informative seminar programme.


Southern Manufacturing & Electronics 2018 was a truly notable show; as well as marking an impressive 20 years as the UK’s largest annual industrial technology show, it provided an early opportunity for visitors to experience the prestigious Farnborough International Exhibition and Conference Centre, the UK’s newest exhibition venue.
