Centaur has teamed up with The Engineer and MWP advanced manufacturing publications to launch the Advanced Manufacturing Show as well as a two-day summit that will run alongside Subcon next year.
Grant Burgham, portfolio director at Centaur Exhibitions, said: "These events demonstrate a fresh approach to UK manufacturing exhibitions and will be a critical destination for engineers, sourcing teams and manufacturing management across all sectors and disciplines."
Subcon covers every aspect of outsourced manufacturing services, from design and prototyping to machining and moulding. It has doubled in size in the past five years and is set to attract more than 300 exhibitors in 2013.
The new Advanced Manufacturing Show will feature machine tools, metrology equipment and software for UK manufacturers.
The two-day Engineer Conference is aimed at engineers and manufacturing management across all sectors and disciplines. The conference will run in parallel with sessions focusing on the latest advances in manufacturing technology and best practice in subcontracting, outsourcing and supplier management.
Burgham said: "These three events will attract professionals from right across UK engineering and provide a unique opportunity for companies to showcase their products and services, find new suppliers, build new relationships and grow their business.
"Together they provide a new focus for excellence in UK manufacturing, with a critical mass of exhibitors and visitors and some fresh thinking that will make a big impact in the market."
