1 min read

With reshoring manufacturing work in mind, engineering trade association the GTMA is again holding its Manufacturing UK event, on 23 April 2015, to highlight the recent engineering successes already being enjoyed by UK-based manufacturing companies.

Conference speakers include Peter Barker, head of manufacturing at Cosworth, who is driving implementation of Cosworth's new Advanced Manufacturing Centre for niche, high-complexity engine manufacturing, and Chris Wilson, managing director of Messier Dowty.

More than 30 GTMA member companies will be exhibiting at the event, including CGTech, makers of CNC post-processor Vericut, and tool makers, rapid prototyping and precision machining companies, and metrology, software and cutting tool/workholding suppliers.

Manufacturing UK 2015 will be held in Mazak's new European Technical Centre, situated on the same Worcester site as its production facilities, of which Mazak will provide guided tours.

Speaking about the event, GTMA chief executive Julia Moore says: "As one of the most comprehensive and up-to-date machine tool manufacturing plants in Europe, over 85% of the Mazak plant's production is exported into Europe, so the event could not be held at a better location."
