Southern Manufacturing & Electronics Preview
The UK’s premier engineering show is nearly here
Featuring the very best in production technology, Southern Manufacturing & Electronics 2025 will open from 4th to 6th February at the Farnborough International Exhibition and Conference Centre in Hampshire. The electrical/electronic and mechanical engineering sectors are represented more or less equally, a combination that at first sight may seem anomalous. However, together with the inclusion of a host of companies providing generic products and services, the exhibition as a whole is much more than the sum of its parts and the synergy has proved highly successful over the last 27 years.

uring that time, the event has grown from a small gathering of local firms to become a showcase for engineering across the whole of Britain and Ireland, continental Europe and beyond. The enormous diversity of exhibitors and their offerings underpins the show’s reputation as one of the most compelling annual industrial trade fairs in the

UK. It provides a rare opportunity to carry out extensive and often complex research and purchasing requirements quickly in a single location. There is no difficulty finding one’s way around, as there are no barriers between the different areas, while technology trails grouping firms with similar expertise help to guide visitors.
On show will be surface mount technology, Components in Electronics
IC and PCB manufacture, box build through to full EMS, electrical, electronic and optoelectronic components, cables, connectors, mechatronics, electro-mechanical components and systems, power supplies, transformers, batteries and chargers, and electrical/electronic test and inspection equipment. Mechanical engineering exhibits will include hydraulic and pneumatic
components and assemblies, machine tools and tooling, workholding systems, metrology platforms, finishing machines, 3D printers, laser cutting and marking equipment, robot and cobot machine loading, and other automation solutions driven by the well-publicised skills shortage in industry. The event is also an important destination for sourcing subcontract services and many
