Visit Southern Manufacturing & Electronics – the UK's premier engineering show
06 January 2023
Companies looking for new ideas on how to bolster their order books, who are keen to find new business opportunities in these turbulent times, will do well to visit Southern Manufacturing & Electronics 2023 – which, as usual, will be held at the Farnborough International Exhibition Centre.

The UK’s longest-running and largest annual engineering show will run on 7-9 February, presenting an excellent opportunity to make multiple procurements efficiently in a single visit. With the sole exception of 2021, when the show was cancelled due to Covid-19, the event has been running continuously since 1998, so next year marks its 25th anniversary.
The exhibition will feature a huge variety of participating companies, many of which are perennial exhibitors. Hundreds of firms will highlight a vast array of high-technology mechanical, electrical, electronic, electromechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic components.
Also on show will be machine tools and tooling, additive manufacturing equipment, industrial hardware, engineering and business software, and subcontract services – from all over the UK, continental Europe and further afield.
Industry 4.0 solutions will be in evidence, alongside controls, displays, HMIs, data acquisition systems, augmented, mixed and virtual reality, robot and cobot machine tending, and other automation solutions.
