Engineering excellence returns to Farnborough

The new owner of the show, Easyfairs, says that a particularly high level of interest in the run-up to the show, from companies not just in Britain and Ireland but also from overseas, indicates that the event will be a sell-out. 

The larger number of exhibitors will create an even more dynamic and informative environment for the 9,000+ visitors, allowing them to explore a greater variety of products, services and technologies relevant to their activities. Additional exhibitors also mean more potential connections with industry professionals and suppliers, potentially sparking new, creative ideas, and leading to valuable business partnerships.

Southern Manufacturing & Electronics is split approximately equally between exhibitors operating in mechanical engineering and the electrical/electronic sector. It is important enough to attract big-name exhibitors, but is readily accessible to SMEs and smaller firms, as the show organiser operates an inclusive policy that discourages larger firms from dominating.

Easyfairs says that it intends to maintain the intimate look and feel of the exhibition, which is a defining quality that gives it a unique, vibrant atmosphere fostering collaboration, learning and discovery.
