Over 750 are expected to attend the fourth year of the Manufacturing Supply Chain Conference and Trade Exhibition hosted by the UK’s GTMA and LIT.
UK Irish trade relations will be central to Manufacturing Solutions Ireland 2020, as up to 750 visitors, exhibitors, manufacturers and business owners are expected at the manufacturing supply trade exhibition event at LIT, Moylish Campus.
Local suppliers and manufacturers will take part in up to 190 sit down one-to-one meetings with larger companies in the very popular and successful Meet the Manufacture event.
Speaking about the success of last year’s trade show GTMA Chief Executive Officer, Julia Moore said, “Manufacturing Solutions Ireland 2019 opened up new possibilities within the supply chain to customers and suppliers from both Ireland and the UK, advancing stronger trading relationships between both.”
“Every year we see new ideas, new technologies, materials and processes on display, allowing us to share knowledge as well as do business during the event. It certainly highlights the innovation of skills of our SME engineering community, who need to be responsive, fast, flexible and have the ability to innovate as well as to be competitive in a global market,” she added.
LIT President, Professor Vincent Cunnane said “Manufacturing Solutions gets better every year. Very much about sharing ideas, skills and information, and fostering strong relationships, it creates real value and has already become a staple event in the industrial calendar of both the UK and Ireland.
“LIT is built on collaboration and on connectedness with industry, and with Manufacturing Solutions now in its third year, we are delighted to place a new emphasis on relationship-building this year, with Irish SMEs having their own zone among the 110 exhibitors.”
