General sale for MACH 2028 is now open, with more than half of the exhibition floorplan already sold following a surge in requests for space. Over 13,000 m² of stand space has been snapped up nearly two years before the UK’s premier manufacturing technology showcase returns to the NEC Birmingham on 3-7 April 2028. Companies are being urged to book immediately to ensure the best range of stand locations.

The rush follows the success of MACH 2026, which attracted 26,000 attendees and more than 500 exhibitors. Staged across five halls, official post-show figures confirm that exhibitors reported overwhelmingly positive results, including record enquiries and sales. Potential exhibitors are encouraged to book before September 2026 to qualify for the early bird discount.
