News: Global Manufacturing Festival underway
The main exhibition of Global Manufacturing Festival takes place today at the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) with Boeing in Rotherham.
The event has proved very popular and all 1,000 tickets have been taken, as delegates gain the opportunity to meet senior executives and buyers from Rolls Royce, Boeing, Siemens, Tata Steel and other global players.
The festival is designed to connect SME's in the UK's materials based engineering supply chains with major international customers and at the same time highlight why the Sheffield city region is at the centre of UK manufacturing.
Taking place on April 17-19 2013, the festival includes a conference and trade show, a number of factory visits, an education showcase and a formal dinner.
On the Advanced Manufacturing Park (AMP), the free to attend exhibition will be split into four themes, each with high profile speakers, and a uniquely focused trade show of up to 70 premium quality exhibitors from the advanced manufacturing and material industry.
James Newman, chairman of Sheffield City Region Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) said: "The demand for this event demonstrates how important manufacturing is to the regional and national economy.
"The LEP is proud to support the Global Manufacturing Festival and I am delighted to hear the event has sold out. I'm looking forward to seeing Sheffield City Region showcase its world class strength in advanced manufacturing.
"It is symbolic that this event is being held on the Advanced Manufacturing Park – home to world-class research and manufacturing organisations including Boeing, Rolls-Royce, Castings Technology International, Dormer Tools, Sandvik Coromant, TWI's Yorkshire Technology Centre and the new Nuclear AMRC."
Yesterday saw the hundreds of school children and students get the opportunity to see some of fastest vehicles, innovations and people on earth all in one place at the "Get up to Speed" event at Ekspan's Blue Shed in Sheffield. Headline attractions included Quicksilver, the world water speed record challenge boat and The AMRC's MANTRA lorry showcasing the groundbreaking work undertaken on the AMP. Marussia's F1 showcar returned, as did the Formula 1 simulator and PES Ltd's skeleton bobsleigh simulator.
The Global Manufacturing Festival is organised by Sheffield Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Marketing Sheffield and The Cutlers Company.
The GMF event is headline sponsored by; Nabarro, Siemens, Tata Steel, NatWest, Creative Sheffield, University of Sheffield, Sheffield City Region LEP and Rotherham Investment & Development Office (RIDO).
