Maintec, a UK event for the maintenance, plant and asset management industry, returns to the NEC, Birmingham on 24th – 26th March, 2015, for its fortieth edition. Visitors will find more on offer than ever before including a packed hall full of industry exhibitors, content rich seminars and three complementary co-locations.  

Complementary Co-Locations

Building on last year, which saw Maintec’s floor plan and visitor base expand massively, the organisers have confirmed that it will again run alongside Facilities Management – the UK’s only event for the facilities industry outside London. It debuted last year and quickly proved to be a neat fit with Maintec as many maintenance professionals now also have a wider FM remit. The Health & Safety Event, which is run by Western Business Exhibitions, will also return for its second year. Finally rounding off the co-locations will be easyFairs’ new show, Cleaning 2015, which is focused on buyers and suppliers from within the cleaning industry.

Visitors will be able to access all shows with one badge, offering hours of content in free-to-attend educational seminars, inspirational industry experts, masses of show floor entertainment and a wealth of exhibitors looking to launch new technologies and concepts to the UK market.

Industry Leading Exhibitors

Exhibitors at Maintec 2015 include all the major names and show regulars such as Hörmann UK, Pruftechnik, Thermaflue, KeyTracker and AV Technology, many of whom will be using the show to launch new products to the market or unveil their very latest work.
