What our exhibitors say

"We were extremely pleased with the results from MACH – there will be no difficulty in justifying our substantial 5-stand presence at the show. All our companies performed well and have results which have surpassed the previous show, which we had in itself found fruitful. What impressed us most was the quality as well as the quantity of visitors we had on the stands, and that most of those visitors were actively shopping for machines and equipment they needed to purchase in the immediate future. We found it a very buoyant show, with visitors confident in the future of their manufacturing operations in the UK.” Stephen LeBeau, 600 Group

"Your efforts have given us a huge leap forward - our presence at MACH has ensured a professional image for our company was possible at a crucial time in our development. I hope we can remain associated with MTA as we grow.” Gregory Epps, CEO, Robofold.

"It’s always great to take new machine tool orders on the stand – and the fact that over 50 per cent of these came fromnew customers is particularly pleasing. I’m also delighted by the volume and the quality of the enquiries we took during the week, which are now being actively followed-up."
Steve Sylvester Managing Director, Agie Charmilles Ltd.

"In 2007 we set a record in the UK of 100 Citizen machines installed. After such a bumper year, 2008 started cautiously as some customers waited to way up the technology options at the show. Then the initial continuous stream of visitors to the stand almost ended up as a flood that has reflected in an order book bonanza worth more than £2million as the week progressed.”
Geoff Bryant, Managing Director, Citizen Machinery UK Ltd.

"MACH is a big and established show and a very important part of the Manufacturing Technologies Association's services to members. The judges were impressed by the energy that had obviously been put into making an already successful event even more so, and the striking response to all that effort… An impressive entry and an impressive show, the judges thought - a real shop window on the industry." Judges’ comments on MACH 2008, winner of the TAF Best Exhibition
