英国伯明翰工业制造技术展览会（MACH）是英国最专业的工业制造技术专业展览会，是英国唯一的工业制造可持续创新技术展，该展两年一届，在伯明翰国际会展中心举行。Mach展是关键制造工程师、决策者和买家在这里寻找、指定和购买新设备，将成为连接制造技术世界的活动，也是希望采用和投资数字化革命的公司的首选目的地。
MACH对参展商和参观者来说都是一场精彩的活动。在一个空间、一个屋顶下、数百个现场展示数字制作系统。价值数百万英镑的业务在活动中得到了讨论、担保和完成。
MACH吸引了26000名观众和600多家参展商，是连接英国制造工程师、决策者、买家和规格制定者与新技术、设备、服务和工艺供应商的平台。MACH由制造技术协会所有和组织，该协会是制造技术行业的代言人，致力于推动创新、创造价值并帮助英国制造业蓬勃发展。
MACH展览由制造技术协会（MTA）所有。MTA是一个非营利组织，旨在促进英国工程制造技术行业的利益，并为其发声。与其它商业展览组织者不同，我们不受将短期利润返还给财务利益相关者的驱动：MTA与MACH的目标不同。作为行业所有人，为了行业的利益，我们的主要目标是帮助和支持我们所代表的行业开展业务，提高英国的制造业业绩，使英国PLC能够在全球范围内竞争。
MACH是英国唯一一个展示可持续创新技术的全国性现场活动。作为一个完整的工作周活动，MACH参展商为展出的设备和技术提供动力，展示提高生产力、减少过程中使用的材料资源和能源的最新技术和趋势，帮助确保可持续的未来，为实现净零排放做出贡献。
吸引新人才进入以工程为基础的制造业是MTA的另一个关键驱动力，也是我们在MACH投资专门的教育和发展区的原因。该区域成功吸引了3000多名11-18岁关键年龄段的学生，旨在激励下一代将工程作为一项令人兴奋的职业。

展会报告(Show Reports):
MACH 2026, the UK’s national event for inspiring, innovating and connecting manufacturing, continued the strong momentum generated by the 2024 exhibition, with 26,000 attending the show once again. This generated a terrific atmosphere and energy at the show, with attendees taking advantage of the fantastic opportunity to network and explore all the great features on offer at MACH 2026.
Held at the NEC Birmingham in April, the exhibition once again brought together the very best of UK manufacturing and engineering, featuring an impressive display of new machinery and advanced manufacturing technologies under one roof. More than 500 exhibitors showcased cutting-edge solutions, live demonstrations and new product launches, creating an exciting and forward-looking environment for manufacturers and engineers seeking to invest in technologies shaping the industry’s future.
MACH is owned and organised by the Manufacturing Technologies Association (MTA), which also encompasses a cluster of organisations, including Engineering Supply Chain UK (ESCUK), Additive Manufacturing UK (AMUK) and MTA Training.
Recognised as the industry-leading event for UK manufacturing, MACH brought together suppliers of machine tools, cutting tools, metrology equipment, additive manufacturing (3D printing), surface engineering, robotics and automation, sheet metal, metal forming and fabrication technology, and specialist software. All of which play a key role in enabling and driving the digitalisation of manufacturing.
The show provided attendees with valuable opportunities to explore the benefits of adopting new technologies, alongside practical guidance on improving productivity, increasing efficiency and reducing operational costs. This was particularly relevant considering the difficult trading conditions faced by the UK manufacturing sector.
Alongside the wealth of technology on display, the MACH 2026 seminar programme was designed to inform and educate manufacturers, featuring a strong line-up of expert and industry-leading speakers.
The seminars, all of which were CPD-accredited, provided attendees with practical insights into emerging technologies, evolving market trends and strategic approaches that can drive productivity, strengthen competitiveness and unlock new growth opportunities. Complementing the extensive showcase of advanced manufacturing solutions, the sessions also delivered actionable knowledge to help businesses enhance operations, improve efficiency and future-proof their organisations in an increasingly competitive global market.
A new feature at MACH 2026 was the launch of Speakers Corner, a dedicated platform designed to connect attendees directly with exhibitors and their innovations. These fast-paced presentations gave visitors immediate access to the latest products, services and technological advancements driving UK manufacturing forward. The format enabled attendees to quickly absorb new ideas, engage with experts and gain practical answers to their challenges.
The third seminar theatre was dedicated to tooling topics, which remain central to modern manufacturing, from cutting tool materials to tool paths and cutting data. MACH 2026 placed this important sector in the spotlight through a dedicated series of tooling seminars. These expert-led sessions provided attendees with an introduction to the latest innovations and practical solutions shaping the future of tooling within UK manufacturing.
The tooling seminars delivered actionable insights and knowledge to attendees on how to boost throughput, reduce costs and improve quality, whilst demonstrating how to implement new tooling technologies for maximum return on investment.
Together, the main seminar programme, Speakers Corner and tooling presentations created a vibrant centre for learning, debate and industry exchange.
James Selka, CEO of the MTA, said: “Our core focus was to ensure this year’s show was designed to guide and support manufacturers in navigating challenges such as rising operational costs, skills shortages, supply chain disruption and geopolitical uncertainty.
I believe we achieved that, and more, with 26,000 attendees seeking ways to remain competitive in the current challenging and uncertain environment in which we operate.”
MACH snap survey findings revealed
The MTA revealed the results of its latest survey at the launch of MACH 2026, highlighting strong support from manufacturers for reducing the UK’s reliance on international supply chains, particularly in light of ongoing global conflicts and economic uncertainty.
The findings showed that 74% of the 358 participants would be willing to do more to build capacity in key sectors such as defence, energy and transport. However, only a quarter said they could meet increased demand immediately, whilst others indicated it could take up to six months before they would be in a position to help, highlighting a potential supply chain bottleneck if action is not taken now.
Access to funding was identified as the biggest barrier to growth, followed by lack of space, the cost of finance and wider economic uncertainty. Manufacturers called on the Government to support the sovereign manufacturing agenda through grants, enhanced tax incentives and increased support for training.
Overall, the findings suggest that UK manufacturing is ready to respond to growing demand for greater sovereign production capability, but stronger Government support will be needed to help turn ambition into reality.
One exhibitor already planning to rebook for 2028 is Yamazaki Mazak. Alan Mucklow, Director of the UK Sales and Service Division, said: “MACH 2026 has been a great show for us. The volume of visitors and, more importantly, the quality of those visitors has been exceptional throughout the week.
This year’s exhibition has taken things to the next level in terms of the industries that have visited our stand. The quality of engagement with those businesses, alongside the clear intent to invest, whether immediately or in the future, has been particularly encouraging.
Overall, MACH 2026 has been a very strong event for us. Mazak is proud to be part of MACH, and we look forward to returning in 2028 to showcase the latest machine tool and laser technologies.”
Mike Corbett, Product Presenter, and Martyn Jones, UK Sales Manager, XYZ, said: “The conversations we’ve had at MACH 2026 have been genuine and highly valuable, with visitors actively looking for ways to improve efficiency and manufacture parts faster and to a higher standard.
Lead numbers are up by around 20% compared to MACH 2024, which is fantastic, but what has stood out even more is the quality of those leads. We’ve had some really positive and serious discussions with businesses from a wide range of sectors, because our machines lend themselves well across all sectors, particularly within R&D.
We’ve also seen a great cross-section of visitors to the stand, from shop floor machine operators through to managing directors and senior decision-makers, which demonstrates the broad reach and value of MACH for the manufacturing industry.”
MACH 2028 will take place from 3-7th April 2028 at the NEC Birmingham.
