The world has changed. Conversations regarding global supply chains, reshoring and offshoring are now frequently a part of mainstream media and the wider public debate, says bespoke manufacturing specialist Get it Made.

Discussions around where and how products are manufactured are increasingly important in the fight for jobs, trade, national security and even political votes.

A total of 10 co-located events including MACH, Subcon and the Manufacturing Management Show and Engineer Expo run under the Subcon umbrella, will now take place from 25 - 28 January 2021 at the NEC, Birmingham

The organisers of Subcon and Mach say this will be the UK’s biggest manufacturing trade show in over 10 years and re-establishes a partnership which sees the two events co-locate once again following previous successful collaborations.

Market leaders EMKA are pleased to offer their specialist sealing profiles – and custom design service for special applications. They offer sealing profiles for service, utility and emergency vehicles as well as for railway rolling stock and line-side installations. HVAC equipment controls also require the particular EMKA design expertise – especially where IP ratings of up to IP66 are required.

Lee Spring are aware that certain mechanisms call for a big power to diameter ratio - small devices requiring firm, but not rigid, slender springs, such as in switches, ball plungers, safety relief valves, quick change tools and vice clamps.

Turn-milling investments at Martin Aerospace have helped it to meet a sharp increase in customer demand by dramatically reducing cycle times on tough aerospace materials

The Lanark-based supplier to the global aerospace sector installed a German-built Traub TNL32-9P sliding-head lathe two years ago and followed this with a Traub TNX65 fixed head lathe last year.

EconCore, a specialist in lightweight thermoplastic honeycomb core technology, and DPA Moldados, a Tier 1 automotive supplier, have developed technology that has cut the weight of the Hyundai Creta’s boot floor by 20%.

The innovative thermoplastic composite, combining a sandwich panel of PP honeycomb and GMT composite skin.

The thermoplastic honeycomb is produced continuously while direct lamination of the sandwich skin layers is most often in-line integrated in the highly automated process.

The Advanced Engineering exhibition is set to go ahead as planned on 4 & 5 November 2020 at the NEC, Birmingham.

A press brake, also known as a brake press, is a machine tool for bending/folding sheet and plate material.  Most common in sheet metal.  It forms predetermined bends by clamping the work piece between a matching punch and die.

Our 80 tonne 2.5 meter Amada press brake is a multi-axis machine which gives us greater accuracy and control over the components that we need to press.

Global supply chains will be at the heart of the 2021 Virtual Edition of the Global Manufacturing Supply Chain Summit (#GMIS2020).

A sequence of digital events will commence on 30 June with the Virtual Summit following on 4 and 5 September. This will bring together global leaders, CEOs, and academia to discuss opportunities generated by the Fourth Industrial Revolution in restoring economic and social activities.

The Laser Cutting Co (TLCC) has taken delivery of a new Trumpf TruLaser Tube 7000 at its Sheffield facility.
