Exhibitors urged to book now for MACH 2022


MACH 2022 organisers have reported that over three-quarters of the exhibition space have been sold, despite there being more than 200 days left before the live event. Show organiser, the Manufacturing Technologies Association (MTA), said it was delighted with the response and has urged firms wishing to exhibit at the showpiece event, which takes place at the NEC in Birmingham between 4-8 April 2022, to confirm their booking as quickly as possible. James Selka, CEO of the MTA, said: “MACH is the national manufacturing show, and as a content-led event it brings together the latest advanced engineering and manufacturing technologies in operation, and all under one roof. As such it will be perfect place for manufacturers to come and view the best new machines on the market. “The support we have already received from the UK manufacturing and engineering


community has been tremendous and their show of faith at what is a pivotal moment for this most crucial of industries, demonstrates both the appetite to do business and the desire to restore the manufacturing industries to their rightful place at the head of the UK economy.”


Exhibitors and visitors can interact with the exhibition in more ways now. The MTA


has invested in a new online platform, My Show Planner, to help people get the most from the event. Trialled with great success during the MACH 2022 Preview Week, the platform enables visitors to filter by product type, save favourite exhibitors, speakers and content to their personal show planner. They can even make direct contact with exhibitors ahead of the event.
