SUPPLY CHAIN EVENTS DIARY

RESEARCH BACKS THE UK

UK manufacturers are set to

place more work with UK subcontractors and have a high

degree of confidence in the

strength of the economy,

according to new research.

The survey, carried out by the

Subcon exhibition, showed that

47.3% of visitors to the 2013

show planned to increase the

amount of work they placed with

UK subcontractors in the next

12 months.

With Subcon 2014 taking place

at the NEC, Birmingham, from 3

to 5 June, the signs are that it is

ideally timed to take advantage

of this upsurge in business for

subcontractors.

This year's event is set to be the

biggest yet, with over 300 subcontractors exhibiting representing

every aspect of outsourced

manufacturing services, from

design and prototyping, machining, moulding, fabrication, composites

and electronics

assembly to finishing and testing.

One of the support organisations is GTMA and member suppliers

with stands booked as we

went to Press included Faro,

IMSM, Killala Precision

Components, Metrology Direct

and WDS Components.

New for this year is the Subcon

Electronics Zone - building on

the growing number of contract

electronics manufacturers - and

also highlighted is the Engineer

Conference, a high-level event

focussed on innovation and

design in manufacture.

GTMA is exhibiting at Control,

the world's leading trade fair

for quality assurance, in

Stuttgart on May 6-9.

It will be an opportunity to promote association suppliers to

an event which regularly brings

together users from around the

world with international market

leaders and innovative suppliers of all QA

related technologies, products, subsystems and

complete solutions in hard and

software.

With over 800 exhibitors from

30 countries, Control is the

number 1 source of information

for companies that see first

class quality as the basis of

their business success.

Specialist sectors being covered this year at the exhibition

include the following:

• Measuring technology

• Material testing

• Analysis apparatus

• Optoelectronics

• Quality Assurance Sytsems

The exhibition gives visitors an

opportunity to see the latest

production and test engineering

advances and a key issue is

the transfer of knowledge and

technology between research &

development and industry

users.
