Southern Manufacturing & Electronics 2020, held at Farnborough International Exhibition Centre in February, witnessed a 9% increase in attendance to set an all-time record. A total of 9,256 visitors attended the three-day show, which is the UK’s longest-running and largest annual industrial technology exhibition. Companies from all over the UK, continental Europe and further afield took part, showcasing a huge range of industrial products and technologies, from electronic components to the latest high-tech machining centres.
Supported by several of the UK’s top industry organisations, such as the Farnborough Aerospace Consortium, the SMMT, GTMA and CBM, the show provides a focal point for manufacturing enterprise across the southern half of the country, which includes a significant portion of the UK’s £32bn aerospace industry. Also supporting the show was Composites UK and NetComposites, two of the UK’s leading trade organisations for the rapidly-growing composites and advanced materials sector. Representatives from these organisations, along with other experts from industry and academia, provided three days of high-level insight at the show’s free technical seminar programme, which also proved extremely popular with visitors.
Southern Manufacturing & Electronics will return to Farnborough from February 9th to 11th 2021 and over 70% of stand space has already been reserved.
