MACH 2026: Meeting the Brands That Power UK Manufacturing

MACH has always been the UK’s flagship manufacturing event — a place where innovation, engineering excellence and real‑world application come together. MACH 2026 is no different, and this year we’re approaching the show with a clear plan.

We’ll be spending time on the stands of our suppliers, speaking directly with the brands whose products we supply every day. Our aim is simple: to better understand what’s new, what’s changing, and how these developments can help our customers improve performance on the shopfloor.

During the show, we've captured insights, filmed short interviews and discussed real-world applications with the manufacturers themselves. Below are some of the brands that we spent time with during MACH 2026. We will be releasing interviews with each of the below suppliers, so remember to check back! 

Iscar's cutting tool innovations continue to advance productivity and tool life. At MACH 2026, we'll be discussing: 

- Our partnership with Iscar and the capability to support current market challenges
