MACH 2026

Exhibition stand planning for manufacturing technology

MACH 2026 took place from 20 to 24 April 2026 at NEC Birmingham. This page is a reference for the past edition, not a registration page. The exhibition covered manufacturing technologies including automation, measurement, tooling and additive manufacturing.

Build the stand around the equipment

For an engineering exhibitor, the layout starts with the products and demonstrations. Share equipment dimensions, weights and operating requirements before the design is finalised. Space for viewing, technical discussions and staff access should be planned together, rather than added around the machines afterwards.

Total Concept can develop the stand design, produce its structure and graphics, and coordinate transport, installation and dismantling according to the agreed project scope. Machine handling, power connections and venue approvals must be checked separately with the relevant parties.

Prepare a practical exhibition brief

• Provide the booked stand dimensions, open sides and organiser documentation.
• Identify which products will be demonstrated and which will be displayed without operation.
• Allow room for visitors to watch without blocking neighbouring aisles.
• Specify storage, meeting space and graphics that explain the manufacturing process.

Official information and future projects

The MTA event listing confirms the 2026 dates and venue. The official MACH visitor information provides edition-specific access details. Total Concept is an independent stand builder, not the event organiser. This page does not confirm dates for a future edition.
