At MACH 2014, we launched the new edition of our combined Basic Facts & Key Messages booklet. Basic Facts provides a summary of published statistics for the machine tools, cutting tools and tool/work-holding elements of the manufacturing technology sector; other areas such as software and metrology are not well defined, so we do not have detailed figures, but we do include these in our summary for the sector as a whole. Key Messages expresses the main areas of our lobbying activity with a focus on 6 issues on which MTA has a unique contribution to make.
We will be sending copies of this document to members in the next few days, but if you would like a small supply, please contact Geoff Noon (gnoon@mta.org.uk) with the numbers that you require. You can also download electronic copies of the documents – Basic Facts is available from this link http://www.mta.org.uk/industry-facts and Key Messages from this link http://www.mta.org.uk/policy/key-messages
