National Manufacturing Week returns to Sydney

National Manufacturing Week (NMW), Australia’s only fully integrated annual manufacturing exhibition, returns to Sydney in 2012 with industry showcases across 12 specialist zones. The event takes place on 8-11 May 2012 at the Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park.

This year’s event will feature two new zones: Sustainable Manufacturing and Metals & Composites. The Sustainable Manufacturing Zone will focus on opportunities for reducing industry’s environmental footprint, while Metals & Composites presents new developments in industry’s quest to develop reliable, lightweight, easily moulded manufacturing materials.

In addition to the two new zones, NMW 2012 will once again host the Air Technology, Automation & Robotics, Electrical, Electronics, Engineering, Health & Safety, Information Technology, Materials Handling, Process Control & Instrumentation and Welding Technology Zones.

The Electrical Zone will feature an array of high-tech products, services and technologies for the electrical sector of the manufacturing industry. Product categories include Data Communications, Installation & Control Equipment, Computer & Communication Technology, Programmable Logic Controls (PLCs) and Test & Measurement Equipment.

Organiser Reed Exhibitions is expecting 10,000 visitors to NMW 2012, while over 300 local and international manufacturing industry suppliers will be exhibiting. Paul Baker, Exhibition Director for NMW 2012, said that the show is being shaped around industry feedback, including from manufacturers who have expressed particular interest in IT, process improvement and other strategies for reducing risk and increasing their overall capacity.

Attendance is free for trade only. To secure tickets and for more information, visit the NMW 2012 website: www.nationalmanufacturingweek.com.au.
