B2B Event Organiser ‘Leading Edge Events & Media Ltd’ will stage two highly-related events concurrently on 29th–30th September 2010: the ‘Aero Engineering 2010 Exhibition & Congress’ — reportedly the UK’s only dedicated ‘engineering’ event for the UK aerospace community — and ‘The Composites Engineering Show 2010’ — a brand new show, servicing the UK’s rapidly developing composites design and production engineering community across all applications.
“The response to the co-location in both value chains has been outstanding and we expect a high take up from visitor groups for both shows nationwide,” said Event Director Ian Stone, Managing Director of organiser Leading Edge Events & Media.
Aero Engineering 2010 provides a platform tailored to the needs of the UK’s aerospace/aviation engineering industries, from specialist aerospace sub-contracting services to advanced machining technology, from test and inspection to modelling and simulation, and much more. “The event fills a vital void in providing a no-nonsense suppliers fair for this demanding, discreet market sector, where buyers and sellers can meet and do business in a focused aero-engineering environment,” added Stone.
Building on the success of the inaugural ‘Aero Engineering’ (2009) event in Manchester, where some 800+ companies and organisations throughout the UK aerospace engineering supply chain participated, Aero Engineering 2010, in its new ‘central UK’ location expects to attract engineering teams from all sides of the UK aerospace industry. A reportedly unique attendance of primes/tier 1 to tiers 2–4 and supporting supply groups, will offer a showcase environment for specialist technologies and service industry supply groups on the show floor.
Importantly, Aero Engineering 2010 will evolve to help visitors quickly identify suppliers, technologies and presentations in their area of interest, using dedicated ‘focus technology trails’ that embrace:
- Design, modelling, simulation and materials
- Machining manufacturing and assembly
- Testing and inspection
- Avionics/electronics and electrical
- Sub-contract/supply chain engineering
- Maintenance, repair and overhaul.
Regarding Aero Engineering’s parallel Supply Chain Business Briefing, Stone said, “Nowhere else are decision-makers in the UK aerospace engineering supply chain able to hear this level of top tier aerospace programme management presenting opportunities in future aircraft build programmes, collaborative R&D initiatives, export opportunities, industry standards, and more."
Running concurrently on the same show floor, The Composites Engineering Show 2010 reflects the enormous UK-wide demand in composites design and manufacturing, from high volume consumer applications to high performance advanced engineered products. This importance is reflected in the show’s support from key stakeholder organisations, including CompositesUK, NetComposites, Knowledge Transfer Network and others
Stone added, “The continuing thirst for information and partnerships for UK companies wishing to work with composites or from those already part of the composites value chain, spurred us to launching the UK’s first dedicated showcase for the composites community, mirroring the importance — and growing use — of these advanced materials across all industry sectors, from the obviously synergetic aerospace to motorsport, renewable energy, medical, industrial equipment, automotive and more, and reflecting the Government’s recent £22 million endorsement of composites development."
Exhibits and technical presentations at the new Composites Engineering Show will cover all composites types, including fibre reinforced polymers, sandwich and cored structures, fibre metal laminates, metal matrix, ceramic matrix and carbon composites. The event showcases materials manufacturers and suppliers; design, analysis and simulation technologies; processors/processes and production technologies, including machining and tooling; suppliers of composite parts, components and structures; and composites maintenance engineering. The target audience, therefore, is the complete end-to-end design, manufacturing and operational engineering value chain.
Stone concluded, “The combination of multiple advanced engineering groups meeting across the two shows provides infinite opportunities for technology transfer and supply chain networking, and will cement both shows into the UK industry’s ‘must attend’ calendar."
