Our activities

The Manufacturing Technologies Association (MTA) is the leading UK trade association representing the engineering and allied sectors that lead the world in manufacturing technologies. We represent UK companies and their associates who drive UK manufacturing technology innovation and quality: companies like yours. We believe in the value of a trade association building your trade and our industry by association and through association.

We not only represent your company, we represent our manufacturing industry both within the UK and globally. We not only represent you, we promote you - and have done so since 1919 when the original machine tool trades association was formed. Since its formation the Association has evolved into a well-respected organisation with a global support network.

Based in London to enable close contact with Government through the DTI, CBI and UKTI, our staff provides a range of services of acknowledged benefit to you and our members across the UK.

Our services are outlined in detail on this site. In short, they're based around five key areas:

Business Development - Promoting trade nationally and internationally 

Business Support - Helping your business to run smoothly

Technical Advice and Support - Growing best practice

Training and Skills - Developing your workforce

External Relations - Promoting competitiveness
