Subontracting show has machine tool zone
UK subcontract manufacturing exhibition will feature a complementary Machine Tool Zone to give machine tool companies the chance to reach a wide range of high-level buyers.
As one UK exhibitor at last year's show commented, "You can't pretend that the rest of the world doesn't exist - and if you want to compete you have to be prepared to exhibit alongside overseas competitors and make your case".
" It's also a great opportunity to build alliances with manufacturers in the lower cost economies - working together can provide benefits and opportunities for both companies." The exhibitors at Subcon 2005 include a healthy mix of first timers and long-term supporters and first-timers.
One newcomer at the show will be Drurys Engineering, winner of the GKN Aerospace Services European Gold Supplier award in 2004.
"This the first time we have exhibited," says Managing Director, Richard Dunn.
"Subcon is the ideal exhibition to promote the company and make people more aware of what we can do." A Taylor and Son has been a Subcon regular for many years, and according to Sales Director David Minskip, the simple reason for this is that it works.
"We've always had good business from Subcon, and we are looking forward to another great show," he says.
Subcon is now an annual event, and as Event Director, Jon Hughes explains, "Subcon has always been the only UK event in its sector with a regional, national and international reach".
" Now that it is an annual event the result is wider exposure for exhibitors and more choice for visitors." Hans Wigart, Managing Director of First Index, the world's leading online marketplace for buyers and suppliers of custom-manufactured components and assemblies, agrees".
" "Subcon is the major event for subcontracting in the UK and I think it is on an upward trend - particularly now that it is a yearly exhibition".
" This is what I think the UK has been missing, an annual event that fits in more closely with purchasing patterns". Request a free brochure from Subcon ...
" It will be natural place for buyers to go to see UK and international suppliers." The ticket hotlines are now open for visitors to the show.
