Maintec rescheduled to be part of M&E Week

The event was originally set to take place on 3-4 November 2021 at the NEC in Birmingham but following consultation with key stakeholders it will now be part of Manufacturing & Engineering Week 2022 (M&E Week). Running from the 6-10June 2022, M&E Week features a series of virtual and co-located live events, showcasing end-to-end manufacturing and engineering solutions.

Maintec will be one of four live events that form part of M&E Week, including Design Engineering Expo, Engineering Expo and Manufacturing Expo alongside other engineering & manufacturing shows at the same venue on the same days. The co-located shows bring all aspects of manufacturing and engineering together to deliver the widest level of content, best practice and business engagement for the UK’s industrial sector. It brings huge added value to attendees and exhibitors, with a visitor registering for one event gaining access across all shows.

Following the announcement, Maintec event director Jos Diamond commented, “Maintec is the longest standing exhibition dedicated to the maintenance, reliability and asset management industry. Throughout its 40-year history, the event has continued to meet the needs of the maintenance engineer and provides an opportunity to source the very latest technology available on the market. It’s important that we keep evolving the event and we feel by moving Maintec to be part of M&E Week, the series of events will offer an even more complete networking, content and product showcase for both exhibitors and delegates.”
