Joe Reynolds recently welcomed James Fudge, Head of Operations at the Manufacturing Technologies Association (MTA), to the MTDCNC studio for an in-depth conversation about the journey toward MACH, the UK’s leading manufacturing exhibition.

During the discussion, Reynolds and Fudge explored the extensive planning and preparation taking place behind the scenes as the industry gears up for the highly anticipated event. They also highlighted why engineers, manufacturers, and industry professionals should make time to attend.

Held every two years at the NEC in Birmingham, MACH continues to stand as the flagship exhibition for the UK manufacturing sector. The event provides a unique platform to discover the latest machine tools, automation, digital technologies, and production solutions, while also offering the opportunity to connect with industry leaders and experts.

For those working within engineering or manufacturing, MACH remains a must-attend event to gain insight into emerging technologies, industry trends, and the future direction of the sector.
