"At MACH 2006, although the 'village' concept is not new, it does bring together our members in one clearly defined area, making it easier for visitors to target particular products, in our case metalforming equipment".
"Our members receive considerable benefits on top of low exhibiting rates at MACH".
"We live in a very competitive market and we try to encourage all our members to be proactive in their approach to the market and by exhibiting at MACH, they are taking a very positive approach".
The MMMA acts as the central organisation promoting the common interests of its members involved in the manufacture and sale of metalforming machinery and ancillary products, including tooling in the UK.
