The Manufacturing Technologies Association (MTA) is delighted to announce that the Engineering Industries Association is changing its name to Engineering Supply Chain UK (ESCUK). The update to the association’s name better reflects the current needs of the market as well as what members of the trade association do.
As part of the MTA cluster, which also includes Additive Manufacturing UK (AMUK) and the MACH exhibition, ESCUK aims to showcase its members capacity, capability, products and services within the UK supply chain. Changes in trends over the past five years, specifically around reshoring and Sovereign manufacturing, has seen an increase in UK based demand and the rebranded association will better reflect the offering of its members.
Founded in 1945, The Engineering Industries Association (EIA), was established to set up a strong and resilient UK supply chain just after the second world war. Since joining the MTA cluster, the association has seen a significant upturn in opportunity and is once again taking the lead as the association with a platform where UK buyers and sellers can network to “reshore” their products and services.
The change of name to Engineering Supply Chain UK positions the association better within the MTA cluster and fully reflects the core activities of the membership.
ESCUK represents the users of technology within the advanced manufacturing sector and, alongside offering a member discount at the MACH exhibition, is looking to create a fully accessible database to showcase companies within the UK supply chain.
James Selka, CEO at the MTA commented; “Since the EIA joined the MTA cluster, it has been an exciting time welcoming their members into our family. This rebrand to ESCUK gives a renewed sense of purpose combined with more opportunity to showcase members capabilities while better aligning their core activities as users of technology.”
Additional benefits enjoyed by ESCUK members include access to discount standards from BSI, access to a wider manufacturing technology network, export assistance and special discounts when exhibiting in the Engineering Supply Chain Zone at the MACH exhibition.
