The biennial MWP/Advanced Manufacturing Awards has a pedigree dating back to the early 1980s, and is established as a highlight on the manufacturing technology calendar. The Awards are devised to recognise and applaud outstanding achievement in the design, manufacture, supply, management and use of machine tools, production equipment and services. Their culmination, with presentations, top-class entertainment and dinner, is the major evening event during the week of the MTA’s MACH and colocated events — Air Tech, Drives and Controls, Plant and Asset Management and Ifpex — altogether the UK’s premier gathering for the advanced manufacturing sector.

The extended entry deadline for the awards is Friday 27 January; for further information on how to enter and a list of award categories, click here.

The evening of celebration next takes place on Tuesday 17 April 2012 at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel, by the NEC; it’s time to start thinking about what you can bring to the party.
