Precision Engineers are the Answer

As we move out of recession, companies have to move quickly to take the maximum advantage of any opportunities. The fast and flexible answer is to turn to expert precision engineering subcontractors.

More and more companies have recognized that outsourcing is the quickest way to increase production, take on new orders and bring new products to market – without the financial commitment, lead time or risk of doing it in-house.

The strength of this year’s Subcon exhibition underlines this trend, with the largest and most impressive line up of dedicated subcontracting expertise the UK has seen in the last ten years.

From 8 to 10 June at the NEC, Birmingham, visitors will have the chance to meet and do business with precision engineering subcontractors offering a comprehensive range of manufacturing services.
 

Whatever the requirement, Subcon is the ideal place to meet new suppliers, benchmark existing suppliers and see what is currently available in the marketplace – all in one place at one time.

This year’s exhibitors cover all aspects of mechanical and electronic manufacture, from machined parts, electronic assemblies, castings, plastic mouldings and metal fabrications, through to full manufacturing services, design and build, and rapid prototyping.
 

Invaluable free seminars

Visitors can also benefit from a specially commissioned series of high-level seminars. This year, as well as speakers from companies such as Lockheed Martin, Siemens and Goodrich, Subcon is delighted to welcome Richard Noble OBE, former land speed record holder, and the man behind BLOODHOUND SSC which is set to be the first car to go faster than 1000 mph. Tickets are free to book for registered visitors on the Subcon website.

International coverage

Subcon is a truly international exhibition, which makes it unique in this sector, offering visitors the chance to meet and do business with the very best suppliers from around the world. The solid core of the exhibition is its top-ranking British exhibitors – representing the cream of the industry. These are complemented by an impressive array of exhibitors from countries that include France, Germany, Spain, Holland, Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Turkey, Latvia, Lithuania, India, China, Taiwan, Thailand and the USA.

The strength of Subcon

“That is the great strength of Subcon,” says Event Director Ron Cordeiro. “It is truly an international event that attracts the best subcontractors from around the world in addition to the best UK based companies – which in turn makes it a must-visit show for sourcing teams right across manufacturing. Whether they want machined parts, plastic mouldings, pressings, electronic assemblies, fabrications, treatments – whatever – at Subcon they can get them all in one exhibition hall. It’s the only show they need to visit.”
