MACH 2022 PREVIEW
TARGETED SOLUTIONS AT MACH
Engineering Supply Chain Show – There is also a new exhibition which highlights another of the show’s core themes - the opportunities that can be found within the UK supply chain. Sponsored by Lloyds Bank and the Engineering Industries Association, The Engineering Supply Chain Show is where engineering and manufacturing buyers can go to source world-class suppliers, exclusively in the UK engineering and manufacturing supply chain.
MACH 2022 is set to feature the largest display of new machinery and manufacturing technologies under one roof in the UK for 4 years
side from the revival of the manufacturing industry post- pandemic, the exhibition will also be giving special focus to the drive to Net Zero and exploiting the opportunities offered by decarbonisation, and the abilities of the UK supply drive to deliver targeted solutions to specific needs.

The exhibition, taking place at the NEC in Birmingham between 4-8th April, could not be timelier for the manufacturing sector. The Manufacturing Technologies Association (MTA), which organises the show, believes the growing optimism surrounding the sector will see bumper levels of business transacted during the show. Exhibitors too, are excited at the prospect of showcasing their latest products to an eager array of buyers ready to capitalise on the current financial incentives such as Super Deduction and AIA. James Selka, CEO of the MTA, said: “With the UK economy growing above forecasts for 2021 and the CBI predicting that plans for spending on plant and machinery over the coming twelve months have improved considerably, the timing of MACH 2022 could not be better. “In order to make step change
improvements in productivity and therefore competitiveness, you only need three things – technologies, the skill to acquire and deploy those technologies and the finance to make it happen. Technologies have never been more powerful and affordable, the UK has an incredible reputation for its innovative and flexible workforce, and finance assisted by government incentives is incredibly good

“There has never been a better time to accelerate investment in UK manufacturing and with MACH 2022 bringing together the latest advanced engineering and manufacturing technologies in operation all under one roof, it will be perfect place for manufacturers to come and view the best new machines on the market.” This year’s show will focus on the development of the digital factory, Additive Manufacturing, new automation solutions and connected manufacturing processes, power by the hour and the cost efficiency solutions that will improve production processes and help shape the industry over the next decade. Resolving the current challenges to the industry – soaring energy prices, rising labour costs, skills shortages, the escalating price of raw materials, supply chain disruption and the need to tackle the green agenda by seizing the opportunities posed by decarbonisation, will also receive special focus.
AMRC Tooling Clinic – Also debuting at the show this year is a special Tooling Clinic run by the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC). This will enable visitors to identify the solutions right for them through open discussion of the manufacturing challenges within their tooling applications, cutting strategies, parameter optimisation, virtual machining and other high value manufacturing methodologies. Seminar Programme – MACH 2022 also features a strong seminar programme, with sessions spanning the whole manufacturing technologies sector, with speakers focused on delivering intuitive and engaging presentations reflecting the themes of the show. Topics include the development of digital manufacturing technologies and the importance of Cyber Security and investment strategies.
Education & Development Zone – MACH 2022 will focus on encouraging more young people into the industry. The Education & Development (E&D) Zone, sponsored by Sandvik Coromant, features displays from Airbus Defence & Space, University of Wolverhampton Formula 3 Race Team, and the Engineering Development Trust (EDT). Metalworking Village and Focused
Zones – The Metalforming Machinery Makers’ Association (MMMA) is capping another major year of growth by taking over 650m² of space at MACH, allowing more than 23 members to showcase their services and technology. Visitors will be able to enjoy live
demonstrations of machinery and take part in technical discussions.
Other dedicated zones include: • Automation for Manufacturing • Digital Solutions for Manufacturing • Grinding & Adhesives • Logistics for Manufacturing • Measurement & Inspection
• Surface Finishing & Component Cleaning • Welding
