SOUTHERN MANUFACTURING 2024 – UK

Southern Manufacturing & Electronics is without doubt one of the most important and popular engineering shows in the UK calendar. From modest beginnings as a regional event, it has evolved into a fully-fledged national show, with increasing influence across continental Europe and further afield. In 2018, the event entered its third decade with a move into its new permanent home, the £35m Farnborough International Exhibition and Conference Centre development, a 20,000m² complex offering world-class facilities, easy access and free onsite parking.

Co-located with Southern Manufacturing & Electronics, AutoAero is a highly specialised event focused on the suppliers to the UK’s Aerospace and Automotive Engineering sectors. Farnborough is, of course, well-known for its links to the aviation industry. BAE Systems and Lockheed Martin both have their UK headquarters within 5 minutes walk of the show. Across the region as a whole, 22% of the UK’s £20bn aerospace industry is located within the show’s catchment area. AutoAero provides the ideal opportunity for aerospace professionals to source suppliers with the necessary skills and experience, across a wide range of engineering disciplines including precision engineering, electronics, testing & certification and working with advanced materials such as composites.
