WORD ON THE EXHIBITION AISLES “2015 was great but 2017 even better full credit to all organisers, Well done.” “Great show good to see it changing with the times.” “SouthMach was a great show and we had excellent sales from it, so thank you.” (3D Printing Systems) “We really enjoyed the show and are happy with the results.” (Global Shop Solutions) Jet Sprint Boat) are companies that are leading this innovation and all shared their successful insights with many hundreds of SouthMach’s visiting professionals. The Competenz Apprenticeship workshop and speed dating session, which attracted a large group of motivated high school students looking at starting a career in engineering/ manufacturing and supported by renowned Kiwi businesses such as Hamilton Jet & Metalcraft, is a great new initiative that will be continued going forward. The event has literally shown our youth how exciting and rewarding a career can be in the manufacturing industry – and the event organisers are only promising to grow on this at future events. The organisers are now ramping up for EMEX, New Zealand’s largest national technology trade show for the manufacturing, engineering and electronics industries – the show is already 80% booked and promising to be their largest show yet. Those claims are big boots to fill when the previous EMEX in 2016 included 160 exhibitors and was attended by over 5,000 visitors, the highest in a decade. If you’re a leading supplier looking for new customers then you’d better get in quick! Held at the ASB Showgrounds, Auckland 1 – 3 May 2018 EMEX will be one you don’t want to miss.
