Subcon Show

What is the Tooling Show?

The Tooling Show will take place on 7 – 9 June 2011 at the NEC. Brought to you by MWP: Advanced Manufacturing Tooling Show is the brand new dedicated exhibition focused on cutting tools critical to modern manufacturing processes. It will provide a specialised forum for suppliers to display and explain the benefits of modern tooling, and allow visitors to see what’s available to improve the way they work.

Manufacturing industry trends, including the development of more demanding materials and the pressure on companies to extract maximum performance from expensive and sophisticated production equipment, mean that the need for a show in this specialised sector is now greater than ever.

Making sure that the cutting tools in use have the appropriate grades, geometries and coatings to suit the machine tool and the work piece is critical, and the user’s choice plays a key role in increasing productivity and efficiency, and reducing costs and lead times. OEMs, SMEs and the subcontractors at every stage in the supply chain, and who want to compete in global markets, need to be aware of the latest developments and what is on offer.
