Sponsorship

Our Markets Subcon is the UK’s premier Show in its space. Our exhibitors are suppliers of subcontract manufacturing services. Our core visitors come from the UK’s OEMs and manufacturers – 85% are senior decision makers, buyers and specifiers. Every year they converge on Subcon to keep up to date with technology, update their sourcing and supply chain strategies, revisit their make-buy decisions, catch up with their existing suppliers and, very importantly, develop new manufacturing partnerships. Subcon is the only event that allows them to do all this on a local, regional, national and international basis.

Subcon visitors have procurement responsibilities for:

o Design and manufacturing services
o Materials and consumables
o Manufacturing equipment & technology
o Machine tools and tooling
o Metrology, measurement, testing and inspection equipment
o Standard electronic and mechanical parts
o Pumps, valves, seals and bearings
o Logistics and supply chain services
