The Aluminium Federation [ALFED] has announced that it will be supporting the UK Metals Expo, set to be held in September 2022.
The UK Metals Expo is annual coming together of sector stakeholders to educate the industry, share best practice, and collaborate on projects and new technology. It is the only industry event to bring together the entire metals supply chain, from primary metal manufacture to supply chain management, processing metals, fabrication, surface coatings and recycling.
ALFED CEO Tom Jones is among the governing body for next year’s UK Metals Expo, and he was delighted to announce that ALFED would be supporting.
“The Aluminium Federation is excited to be involved as a supporter in the new event for our sector,” Jones said.
“The annual showpiece aims to foster relationships and maximise opportunities between the manufacturing, construction and infrastructure supply chains; advance education, share best practice and accelerate innovation in our sector.
“It is a fantastic event to be involved in, showcasing the best in class across the whole supply chain. I’m thrilled to say that a number of ALFED members have already signed up.”
The UK Metals Expo benefits from full endorsement and collaboration from the UK Metals Council, its member trade associations and numerous other industry bodies.
The new governing body for the Expo upon which Jones sits is chaired by Lord Rupert Redesdale, and the influence of the event will be year-round with major initiatives, challenges and successes discussed and presented in detail in the show floor theatres.
Theatre themes include Supply Chains, Innovation, Skills, Circular Economy and Resources. These will set the tone for the event which will be heavily driven each year by an annual agenda prepared by the governing body.
