7 – 11 April 2014, NEC, Birmingham MACH 2014, are you sure?!  Are we really talking about that already?  Well, no.  Well kind of.  It’s rudimentary at this stage, just planning.  BUT save the dates in your diary, 7 – 11 April 2014!

International Machinery, Tools & Equipment Exhibition, 2 – 4 December 2013, Oman International Exhibition Centre, Muscat, Oman

Saudi Arabia International Oil & Gas Exhibition 2013 25 – 27 November 2013, Dhaharan International Exhibitions Centre, Dammam, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and we’re at stand 1008

10 – 13 November 2013, Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, UAE The Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC) is the largest oil and gas event in the Middle East. 

What a busy few days we’ve had at our head office in Hove – people have been pouring through the doors but now they’re all gone and everything’s been packed away it’s kind of lonely here!

The Dugard open house is a cracking success!  It’s been hard getting ready as it was so soon after EMO – the machines have only really just got back so putting them all in place and getting demos on this amount of machines has been no small feat.

Our open house kicks off on Tuesday 15 October – so with only a week to go it’s action stations here at our head office in Hove.

It’s watch time for Nigel Garner who’s “clocked” (!) up an impressive 25 years working for Dugard.  I’m sure many of you know him as he’s been one of our most prominent service engineers since 1988.  

EMO’s over and Hannover Messe is now nothing but a baron wasteland (this is a good photo though, well done Paul!).  Not to worry, EMO will be back, but not until 2015 and this time Milan will be the host city.

2 – 3 October, Event City, Manchester and we’re at stand A7 Southern Manufacturing was such a success for us that even though it’ll be a bit of a stretch (with EMO so close) there’s no way we could miss out on Northern Manufacturing in October.

It’s an exciting time at Dugard – we’ve got a Samsung Machine Tools packed stand at EMO and now there are some great new models for us to show you at the open house.  

The Dugard stand at EMO Hannover seems to be getting busier as the week progresses – we’re literally doing a roaring trade!

Goodness me but the build up for EMO was hard work – there’s nothing for it, we’re all going to have to learn German, it’s so embarrassing that our hosts are all so good at English, it’s time to make an effort!

EMO Hannover 2013 runs from 16 – 21 September at the Deutsche Messe, we’re in hall 26, stand F19

The Dugard spares and accessories department is really quite impressive – we’ve got 2,000 square feet spread out over three floors to store all the things we get asked for on a daily basis.

16 – 21 September, Deutsche Messe, Hannover Really, has it been two years since the last EMO?  It doesn’t seem that long; we’ve been so busy though and time really has flown! 

The 1000Y Plus is one of Dugard’s bestselling machines – ruggedly built for high speed machining.  The heavy duty design assures optimum rigidity, stability and accuracy for a longer machine life.  It weighs 5,500kg but has the smallest footprint of any machine in its class. 

It’s the first show for Advanced Manufacturing at the NEC, 4 – 6 June, and we’re really excited to be a part of it!  It’s a great opportunity for us as the leading brands in engineering, technology and manufacturing will all be represented so we did not want to miss out.

Billed as the “14th International Specialised Exhibition for Equipment, Instruments and Tools for the Metal-Working Industry” Metalloobabotka is back for 2013, on 27 – 31 May.  Our team at Dugard RUS in Moscow attended the show in 2010 and 2011 and now it’s a permanent fixture in the Dugard Exhibition calendar.

Southern Manufacturing 2013 was a tremendous success for us this year so we’ll definitely be coming back!  Our stand was really busy, we had great customer feedback and loads of good quality enquiries.

It’s the first time for Dugard at Southern Manufacturing so we’re really excited to see how it goes.  In the past we’ve exhibited at Farnborough Airshow and always found that to be extremely successful, as Southern Manufacturing is in the same venue we thought we’d give it a go!
