Our Exhibition Experiences

Southern Manufacturing Image for the Exhibition page

Join us on our journey across the exhibition circuit, highlighting the events that have shaped our year and the ones still to come. It’s a chance to reflect on where we’ve been, the connections we’ve made, and the ideas we’ve shared along the way. As we continue to explore new opportunities, we’re always looking ahead to the next event, the next conversation, and the next place to connect in person.

EDS

Our first adventure in the tail end of 2025 was to Coventry where we unveiled our new exhibition stand at EDS. As one of our major shows in the exhibition calendar, we love attending EDS as it gives us the opportunity to talk not only to current industry specialists, but the future of the industry as students of all ages are in attendance.

EDS further provides us a great launch point for our brand refresh as the new look stand elevates HITEK to another level, giving us the opportunity to showcase what we can offer through our new Television media and streamlined product experience across our new shelving. The new atmosphere and feel allowed for a more positive interaction with the varying visitors to the stand

With EDS in the books for 2025, only one more exhibition remained, MENE.

MENE

With MENE only just entering the books at the time of writing, a lot of impactful things took place at this show. With the Manufacturing and Engineering show being our largest event taking place in the north, We thrive on interacting with people from our neck of the woods.

While EDS was the main place of revealing our new branded stand, our smaller pop up was unveiled at this show. With the focus on showcasing our solutions and the core ranges from our suppliers. this stand takes the best elements from our t3 stand.

We enjoy attending this show as it brings us closer to our local customers as well as potentially exposing new opportunities to the north of England.

Southern Manufacturing & Electronics Exhibition

HITEK began the year by exhibiting at Southern Manufacturing & Electronics 2026, held at the Farnborough International Exhibition Centre. The event brought together a wide range of engineering and electronics professionals, providing a valuable platform to share knowledge and explore new opportunities across the industry.

Across the three-day exhibition, the HITEK team engaged with visitors from multiple sectors, discussing applications in EMI shielding, thermal management, and bespoke fabrication. These conversations offered valuable insights into industry challenges while demonstrating how HITEK’s expertise can support complex and evolving requirements and strengthen relationships with both new and existing contacts.

We were also pleased to be joined by Henkel on our stand, reinforcing the strength of our supplier partnerships and collaborative approach. Working closely with key partners allows us to deliver effective, high-performance solutions to our customers.

Events like this remain key to strengthening relationships and maintaining HITEK’s presence within the engineering community.
