Automate UK recently announced the launch of
Automate UK Week, an ‘ambitious proposition’ for 2027 bringing its award-winning manufacturing, vision, processing and packaging events together to create an ‘over-arching experience for visitors and exhibitors alike’.
Already the force behind the UK’s leading events for the industrial automation sector, the organisation will showcase the best technologies from across the manufacturing spectrum, at its biggest exhibition to date in September 2027.
Automate UK Week 2027 will take place in Halls 1 and 5 at the NEC, Birmingham, bringing its award-winning
PPMA and
UK Automation shows under one roof in a strategic step forward to create a more integrated, future-focused event that reflects the evolving needs of the industry.
James Causebrook, chairman of Automate UK, said: “This announcement reflects our continued commitment to shaping industry policy and supporting growth across the sector.
Automate UK Week marks the evolution of our successful events into a more ambitious proposition that brings together the best of robotics, industrial vision, drives, controls and associated emerging technologies for businesses looking to adopt automation.”
He continued: “It will focus on all facets at every level, from traditional manufacturing, processing and packaging applications, right through to AMRs, warehouse automation, logistics systems and the enabling technologies that sit around them.”
Scott McKenna, Automate UK’s chief operating officer, added: “Our intention in co-locating our flagship shows is to create what we believe is a genuine one-stop shop for industrial automation in the UK, thereby enabling exhibitors and visitors to maximise their experience and get the best possible return on their investment.”
The initiative underlines
Automate UK’s ambition to be the leading voice for automation adoption, workforce upskilling, and the advancement of UK manufacturing.
