2 WHAT IS MACH? MACH IS THE ESTABLISHED SHOWCASE FOR THE UK MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY, DESIGNED TO PROMOTE ITS INTERESTS ON A WORLD-CLASS STAGE MACH is the UK s only premier manufacturing technologies event. In 2008 the show attracted over 27,000 visitors keen to see what s new in industry and indeed, to purchase such technology. Estimates suggest that well over 150million of sales were made as a direct result of the show. Even in 2008, with an economic cloud on the horizon, MACH successfully bucked the trend with a 22% increase in visitor numbers over the immensely successful MACH We re currently striving to make MACH 2010 even better than previous shows which is why, as an exhibitor, now is the time to look to the future and make a sound investment in your space at MACH MACH is a showcase for all machines and equipment used in engineering based manufacturing. The show is split into the following zones: - Metalcutting - Metalforming - Automation and robotics - CAD/CAM - Engineering Lasers - Measurement and Inspection - Tooling and Workholding - Welding and Metal Fabrication - Rapid Manufacturing and Rapid Prototyping - NEW FOR 2010 User Partner Zone

3 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.

7 It s always great to take new machine tool orders on the stand and the fact that over 50 per cent of these came from new 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.

9 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 Geoff Bryant progressed.
