Have West Midlands manufacturers got the MACH factor?
1 min read
The Manufacturing Advisory Service – West Midlands (MAS-WM), Semta, Advantage West Midlands and UK Trade and Investment, have joined forces to create a special "Made in the Midlands" zone, at MACH 2010, where local companies can showcase groundbreaking products and services to 30,000 industry delegates.
It is intended that there will be room for more than 10 businesses, with firms being encouraged to put forward the reasons why they should represent the region via 'The MACH factor' competition, open to all engineers and manufacturers in the region, with applications to be sent to Rita Davey at rdavey@semta.org.uk by 22nd April.
Simon Griffiths, chief executive of MAS-WM says: "The West Midlands is home to some unique technologies and products so what better way to celebrate this fact than at one of the industry's biggest shows and one that attracts buyers from all over the UK and overseas. Our natural innovation and eye for an opportunity has seen us lead the way in medical technologies, low carbon advancements and in revolutionising the way traditional sectors operate like automotive, aerospace and construction."
"The 'Made in the Midlands' stand will bring all this expertise together on one platform for the first time and will hopefully give our manufacturers the opportunity to build new relationships and secure business opportunities." Mr Griffiths concluded.
Feedback from "The MACH factor" will be given by 27th April and successful companies will be asked to pay a token contribution of £250, to cover the heavily subsidised exhibition costs.
