This second issue of the year features an in-depth preview of Smart Manufacturing Week, taking place in Birmingham in June. The UK’s flagship industrial technology show will make its return to the NEC, and with a packed conference programme, global exhibitors and the Manufacturing Digitalisation Summit, it’s an event not to be missed.
We feature hard-hitting interviews with Stephen Phipson, Chief Executive of Make UK, and Rob Flello, CEO of Ceramics UK, who explains the current trials and tribulations of this much-maligned manufacturing sector.
The issue also includes site visits from three of last year's The Manufacturer MX Awards winners; I Holland, Delta Fire and Bucher Municipal. Plus, we have a dedicated supplement to the vital topic of robotics and automation.
