MachineBuilding.South 2026 – Wednesday 8th July, Surrey

When machine performance isn’t where it should be, where do you go?
When a machine isn’t performing as expected, the solution isn’t always obvious.

A performance issue might be linked to control architecture. A safety requirement might impact machine design. A networking decision might affect scalability. Solving these challenges often means speaking to multiple suppliers, comparing approaches and understanding how different technologies work together.

That is exactly what MachineBuilding.South has been designed to enable.

The newest addition to the MachineBuilding event series, MachineBuilding.South takes place at Sandown Park, Surrey, on Wednesday, 8th July, bringing the successful MachineBuilding format to the South for the very first time.

With a sold-out exhibition featuring more than 130 specialist suppliers, the event creates a unique opportunity for engineers to explore solutions, ask detailed questions and discuss real-world challenges in one place.

A place to find answers, not just products
Rather than presenting isolated technologies, MachineBuilding.South creates an environment where engineers can explore how different solutions fit together.

Visitors can move between specialists in motion control, drives, sensors, machine safety, robotics, industrial networking and control systems, comparing approaches and gaining practical insight into how systems can be designed, integrated and optimised.

For engineers responsible for machine design, integration or performance improvement, the ability to have these conversations in one place can significantly accelerate problem-solving.

Practical insight from industry specialists
Alongside the exhibition, a programme of CPD-accredited technical workshops and hands-on training sessions will run throughout the day.

Delivered by leading suppliers including Atradius, PILZ, Lenze, SolutionsPT, Beckhoff, B&R, IGARD, SRCI, Phoenix Contact and Endress+Hauser, the sessions focus on real engineering challenges, from machinery safety and industrial networking to automation technologies and machine performance.

The emphasis is on practical knowledge that can be applied directly in the workplace.

Visitors can also take part in hands-on IO-Link training sessions, providing a practical introduction to one of manufacturing’s fastest-growing communication technologies.

Find the right solutions, faster
To help visitors make the most of their time, Technology Trails highlight exhibitors working in key areas of automation.

This structured approach allows engineers to quickly identify relevant suppliers and focus on the technologies most applicable to their projects.

A focused, time-efficient event
MachineBuilding.South has been designed to deliver maximum value in minimum time.

Free to attend for manufacturing professionals, the event takes place on Wednesday, 8th July at Sandown Park, Surrey, with free parking available immediately adjacent to the exhibition hall.

For engineers looking to solve challenges, discover new technologies and connect with industry specialists, it offers a highly focused and productive day.

Whether you’re designing new machinery, upgrading existing systems or planning your next automation project, MachineBuilding.South provides practical ideas, valuable contacts and proven solutions you can apply immediately.
