This two-day event was originally conceived to specifically address the needs of the region, which excels in industrial innovation. Manufacturing & Engineering will become an annual event and will continue to bring the best of British design engineering and manufacturing talent to the region.
"Without doubt the North East has a rich industrial heritage but Manufacturing & Engineering North East is about now and about driving innovation and growth for the future," commented Ed Tranter, managing director for organiser Mark Allen Exhibitions. "2015 was a success by every measure, however in 2016 Manufacturing & Engineering will be even better. Seventy percent of this year's exhibitors have already rebooked, we have a waiting list for further stand space and we have received a number of requests from exciting conference speakers."
He continued, "We have started planning for next year's show and we are looking forward to bringing the Manufacturing & Engineering buzz back to Newcastle in 2016."
The 2016 edition of Manufacturing & Engineering North East will run from 6th – 7th July at Radio Metro Arena, Newcastle.
Manufacturing & Engineering North East is delivered in association with Machinery, Eureka and Works Management magazines. Leading trade bodies and institutions, including the Manufacturing Advisory Service (MAS), North East LEP, Gateshead & Newcastle Inward Investment, Advanced Manufacturing Forum and the Institution of Engineering Designers (IED) supported the event along with headline sponsors, Fanuc and Lombard.
