MTA TO HOST MEMBER STAND AT FARNBOROUGH INTERNATIONAL AIRSHOW
Published : July 04, 2008
The MTA (Manufacturing Technologies Association) will for the first time host a showcase of its member companies at the Farnborough International Airshow. The MTA are creating a 'Members' Stand' which will be located in Hall 1 (Stand A20). The MTA stand will feature main exhibits from Dugard, Bott, Star Micronics, Lapmaster, Jones & Shipman, BLM Group and of course the MTA itself. The stand will also feature a guest exhibitior - Aeronnova, a Spanish composites company and aerospace specialist, keen to build relationships with UK machine tool companies. A number of other MTA members can be found across the exhibition.
John Collins, MTA Business Development Manager commented, "Farnborough is the UK's largest airshow and in 2007 generated over £21bn of sales for exhibiting companies. In an aerospace market worth £20bn a year in the UK alone, MTA members play a key part in the industry supplying manufacturing technologies to multi-billion pound global companies."
"Aerospace is completely reliant on manufacturing technologies and the innovations of our member companies to enable the manufacture of modern day aircraft - everything from components to wings - you'll find MTA members at the heart of their manufacture. This is why we have chosen to help our members promote themselves at one of the world's largest airshows, a brilliant chance to network, form new contacts and ultimately do business."
Bob Horton, Marketing Manager of C Dugard Ltd , one of the companies exhibiting on the MTA stand, said the company is keen to expand into the UK market "Farnborough, as the UK's largest air show provides the ideal platform for us to promote the type of machine tools used around the world to produce aerospace components from small brackets and fittings in difficult to machine materials to undercarriages and wing struts. Whilst a significant number of UK aerospace companies are using our machines, the UK market is something we are keen to further develop, promoting high technology machines from Korea, Germany, Taiwan and Spain. The event also provides us with the ideal opportunity to maintain contact with a number of our existing customers who are also exhibiting.
