Future Engineering Ireland doubles up in 2020

The Manufacturing Technologies Association (MTA) has advised that Future Engineering Ireland (FEI) will once again be part of the National Supply Chain and Manufacturing Conference & Exhibition in Dublin in January 2020.

Following the success of the event in January of this year, the organisers have extended the exhibition to two days. The 2020 edition of FEI will take place on 29-30 January at CityWest, Dublin.

This year’s show saw over 6,100 delegates attend the event, and as a result the 2020 edition is expanding to accommodate the increased numbers and larger footprint of the show.

Kevin Gilbert, managing director Mills CNC, said: “Mills CNC has a massive customer base across the whole island of Ireland, built over many years of hard work by our business manager covering this area promoting Mills CNC and Doosan Machine Tools.

“Many of our customers were visiting FEI 2019 and so it was a great way to see many good customers and friends at a good central location. CityWest has good facilities for an exhibition and with the hotel attached it’s an ideal location for the event.”

He continued: “The organisation of the show from set-up through to breakdown was very good and visitor attendance was excellent. We booked our stand within five minutes of the floor plan being released. I am sure FEI 2020 will be a great start to the year for Mills CNC.”

Like Mills CNC, Hurco also exhibited and had a successful show at FEI 2019. Export sales manager Graham Maskell explains why the company is so keen to return to the 2020 edition: “Future Engineering Ireland 2019 presented us with an opportunity to exhibit some of our products and we even sold the machine that was on our stand by the end of the show to a new customer in Galway.

“It was a fantastic opportunity to meet potential new customers and catch up with existing clients and friends. We look forward to the 2020 exhibition.”

James Fudge, head of events & member services at the MTA added: “The show is a great platform for our members to showcase themselves in the Irish market. Whilst a number of our members have a good customer base in Ireland, the show provides the opportunity to meet with the wider manufacturing community.”
