Malcolm Harbour, MEP for the West Midlands, has endorsed the Drives and Controls Exhibition, one of the UK's largest engineering trade shows.
The show will be held at the NEC between 3rd and 5th June.
Now in its tenth successive year, the show is the single most important event for UK manufacturers and has attracted nearly 200 exhibitors including many major global industrial companies.
MEP Harbour has urged manufacturers of every size to visit Drives and Controls.
"As a Member of Parliament for the West Midlands, a premier manufacturing region in the UK, it is a great pleasure to welcome the Drives and Controls exhibition to the NEC.
It is not an overestimate to say that Europe's future in the global economy depends on high technology manufacturing.
This, in turn, requires investment in new products and new manufacturing techniques.
High quality, competitive costs and 'just in time' delivery must be the three cornerstones of a successful manufacturing company".
"The industrial automation sector produces components and systems that are crucial to the future of high technology manufacturing.
As one of the few Members of Parliament who is a qualified engineer with manufacturing experience, I am all too well aware of the importance of such products to Europe's future economic success", continued Harbour.
"Orders will be won in the global market by the right package of design, fast 'time to market' and a supply chain that exactly matches the customer's needs.
Companies that are building up their computer aided design; prototyping and tooling skills will gain a clear advantage.
They will be ahead of the game in producing complex components, in a range of different materials and in the necessary product variety", stated Harbour.
"I hope that all visitors to the show will be able to benefit from the chance to view an exciting range of new products, processes and services, and to apply the lessons in their own businesses".
Visitors to the Drives and Controls exhibition will have the opportunity to see a host of innovative engineering products and be introduced to a plethora of new techniques to aid manufacturing efficiency.
There will also be the opportunity to enter three competitions, sponsored by three manufacturing companies, WEG, SIEI and Rexroth Bosch.
The prizes for the first two competitions are holidays to Brazil and Disneyland Paris respectively.
The third competition offers a set of Bosch cordless power tools.
