Advanced Engineering 2019 wrapped up for another year on 31 October, after welcoming over 550 exhibitors and more than 15,000 attendees, a 5% rise from the previous year. The event showcased more technologies and product innovations than ever before, particularly with the introduction of its Medical Device Engineering Zone.

Mike Duffield, regional sales manager at one of the show’s exhibitors, Renishaw, found the new Medical Device Engineering Zone to be particularly profitable. “Renishaw has exhibited at Advanced Engineering for a number of years because it has always been a great opportunity to network and get high-quality business leads,” he says. “The addition of the Medical Device Engineering Zone has helped us to forge new business relationships and showcase the range of potential applications that our products can help to fulfil.”
