Two shows, one great event – MachineBuilding.Live and FoodManufacturing.Live

In their inaugural years, these two shows ran as separate events, but co-locating them provides enormous benefits for visitors who will appreciate the synergies across the technologies that drive machine innovation, and the growing imperative within food and drink manufacturing for increased automation.

For machine builders who supply the food and beverage sector, the event offers the chance not only to see, evaluate and discuss the latest automation technologies that can enable machines that are faster, more flexible, more adaptable and more productive than ever, but at the same time to gain a greater appreciation of the unique and pressing challenges that the food and beverage sector is facing now and in the coming years.

It will provide an unrivalled opportunity to talk to automation suppliers who are making sensors more sensitive, drives more dynamic, robots more robust and actuators more accessible - and put all that in the context of the unique requirements of the food and beverage sector.

For food industry professionals, exhibitors at FoodManufacturing.Live are on hand to address those challenges, and explain and expand on exactly how their new ideas and products can help improve production, reduce waste, slash costs and improve profitability. But a key message is that one of the most important ingredients in successful food manufacturing is automation, and that's exactly what you'll learn about in MachineBuilding.Live.

The UK's food and drink industry is the country's biggest manufacturing sector by turnover. Valued at 104.4 billion, it is larger than the automotive and aerospace industries combined. The combined FoodManufacturing.Live and MachineBuilding.Live will provide a unique insight on how automation and cutting-edge technology can take the industry to next level. One cannot claim it's 'food factory automation made easy' but the unique format of FoodManufacturing.Live and MachineBuilding.Live is certainly visitor friendly, allowing visitors to capture the maximum information in the minimum of time.

The events take place at the NAEC Stoneleigh Park in Warks on October 15th 2025. You can register here to attend.
