MACH 2022, the largest display of new machinery and manufacturing technologies under one roof in the UK for four years, lived up to its billing as a major catalyst for investment with scores of exhibitors reporting strong sales and positive interest in their products during the five-day event at Birmingham’s NEC last month. In addition, the MTA (the show’s organiser) has reported that advance sales for the 2024 event have set a new record, with manufacturers keen to exploit the opportunities created at the 2022 show.

Although final figures are still being collated, footfall at MACH 2022 is predicted to be largely in line with the last live event in 2018, which considering current external factors is a considerable achievement. This despite the reduced footprint of the show. One encouraging sign was that the number of visitors per square metre of exhibition space was up compared with 2018. The next edition of MACH takes place at the Birmingham NEC on 15-19 April 2024.
