The MWP2008 Awards start here
ARE you proud of your achievements in
delivering or using production engineering
technology? Why not measure yourself against
the industry benchmarks set by the most
important - and enjoyable - competition
dedicated to this sector. The MWP Awards
were devised 25 years ago as a way of
recognising outstanding achievement in
machine tools, production equipment and
services, and subcontract engineering. Their
culmination, with presentations, top-class
SUBCON, the annual exhibition
for buyers of subcontract
manufacturing, returns to the
NEC, Birmingham, from 22 to 24
April 2008. This international
event covers the whole spectrum
of contract manufacturing and
gives visitors the opportunity to
source all their outsourcing
needs under one roof. Exhibitors
from the UK, Europe and around
the world offer everything from
machined parts, electronic
assemblies, castings, plastic
mouldings and metal
fabrications, through to full
manufacturing services, design
and build, and rapid prototyping.
The 2008 event will be
co-located with several
complementary events that will
allow visitors to take an even
broader look at their sourcing

Subcon 2008 complemented by key manufacturing shows
requirements - including
deciding whether or not to make
components themselves and
when to buy in proprietary
drives and controls. For
companies manufacturing
products in-house, MACH 2008,
which runs from 21 to 25 April
2008, is the UK’s showcase for
manufacturing technologies. It
encompasses both metalcutting
and metalforming machine tools
along with ancillary products
and services. Organised by the
Manufacturing Technologies
Association, MACH attracts over
500 exhibitors and more than
22,000 visitors. Drives and
Controls, organized by DFA
Media and running from 22 to
24 April 2008, is the UK's
premier event for automation,
drives, power transmission and
motion control.
Subcon 2008 Event Director,
Jon Hughes says: ‘As an annual
event, Subcon is a must-see
show in its own right, but with
the added benefits to visitors of
taking a broader look at their
whole make/buy strategy this
will be the highlight of the 2008
calendar for anyone in
manufacturing. Any company
that offers subcontract services
and is serious about reaching the
key buyers in Britain's leading
companies should certainly be
exhibiting at Subcon 2008.’
