The other strength of Southern Electronics is its co-location with the ever-popular Southern Manufacturing Show. Given that most electronics assembly involves an element of mechanical manufacture and vice-versa, the two events are ideally matched, giving visitors even more opportunities to see products and suppliers relevant to their particular needs. In total, the show brings together around 500 top suppliers. Last year’s exhibition area covered 3,500m² and attracted 5000 visitors over two days. Show director, Phil Valentine, believes attending the Southern Manufacturing & Electronics Show should be a high priority for industrial SMEs keen to maximise opportunities for growth in 2010.
