WWW.MMMA.ORG.UK

Dear Members As Chairman of the MMMA, I would like to welcome you to the 2024 Members’ Directory. I trust that this will provide a useful tool in us all achieving our collective goals.

At the heart of the MMMA’s activities is the highly anticipated MACH Exhibition. This event holds special significance for us, particularly due to the Metalworking Village that we proudly host bi-annually.

This village epitomises the essence of the MMMA, providing a unique platform for customers, as well as professionals in training and sales, to immerse themselves in the latest advancements in the world of metalforming.

ADRIAN HALLER Managing Director, Bruderer UK Ltd Chairman, Metalforming Machinery Makers Association (MMMA)

New developments are always a thrill to show. I am particularly excited about this year’s showcase of cutting-edge technologies, where Bruderer UK is set to unveil its groundbreaking press, the BSTL 350-88 in an exclusive UK launch. Within the Metalworking Village, visitors will have the opportunity to witness a comprehensive demonstration of the BSTL 350-88, and receive full details of our new-to-the-UK BSTA 710-220B press, alongside a plethora of stateof-the-art technologies presented by our esteemed MMMA members.

In addition to unveiling new innovations, we are eager to welcome new members into our community, offering them insights into the MMMA and encouraging their participation. This year’s Metalworking Village in Birmingham promises to attract industry professionals from across the globe, making it an exceptional event for both the sectors we operate in and the MMMA. I invite you to join us and be part of this remarkable experience.

I must also highlight the MMMA Gala Dinner, an annual event where we celebrate the outstanding talent within our industry through prestigious awards. This year, we are expanding our awards ceremony to further honour the remarkable contributions of individuals and businesses in the metalworking industry.

As Chairman of the MMMA, it is a privilege to lead an organisation that not only recognises the significance of our sector but also actively advocates for the diverse needs of our members, whether it pertains to technology, workforce development, human resources, or financial support.

Our mission at the MMMA is to elevate our members’ businesses and products within the manufacturing sector through various channels, including extensive social media presence and collaborative initiatives with leading financial institutions such as Lloyds, Compass Finance, and Finance for Industry, leading specialists in finance for engineering, print, plastics and machinery.

02

Moreover, the MMMA serves as a unified voice for our industry, providing a platform for open dialogue and constructive discussions on pertinent issues affecting our members, ranging from financial challenges to regulatory compliance.

Reflecting on our journey, I am immensely proud of the MMMA’s growth over the past 12 years, evolving from a modest membership to a robust community of 52 members. This growth underscores the resilience and vitality of the manufacturing industry in the UK, which remains integral to the UK economy and the global manufacturing landscape.

Looking ahead, we are optimistic about the government’s proposed investment in our sector and remain committed to driving innovation and excellence within UK manufacturing. Despite external challenges such as geopolitical tensions impacting trade routes, we are steadfast in our dedication to promoting domestic manufacturing and nurturing the next generation of skilled professionals.

As we navigate the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead, let us remember that manufacturing is deeply ingrained in the fabric of our nation’s history and identity. The MMMA stands as a steadfast supporter of UK manufacturing, and together, with the enthusiasm and dedication of our members, we are poised to shape a vibrant and prosperous future for our industry, one that is not only economically significant but also socially impactful.

I invite you to immerse yourself in the excitement of this year’s MACH exhibition and join us in the MMMA Metalworking Village, where innovation meets collaboration. Your participation is key to realising the collective vision of a thriving manufacturing industry.

Warm regards,

Adrian Haller Managing Director, Bruderer UK Ltd Chairman, Metalforming Machinery Makers Association (MMMA)

75 YEARS

OF PIONEERING PROGRESS: THE METALFORMING MACHINERY MAKERS ASSOCIATION

The MMMA’s 75th Anniversary is an opportunity to celebrate its rich heritage and achievements while anticipating a promising future, forging new paths in the metalforming machinery industry

T

his year marks a significant milestone for the Metalforming Machinery Makers Association (MMMA), an institution that has been at the forefront of the UK’s sheet metal industry for 75 years.

A journey of growth The MMMA’s journey is one of growth and adaptation. Established in 1949 to form a central national organisation for manufacturers in the Power Press making and allied Industries, what began as the British Power Press Manufacturers Association has evolved into a cornerstone entity, dedicated to representing the multifaceted needs of the sheet metal and forming industry.

In 1971 it became the MMMA, to encompass manufacturing companies outside the UK. The MMMA is the only association to represent the needs of the sheet metal industry and, more recently, its associated technologies, demonstrating its commitment to supporting an industry defined by technological innovation and service diversity.

The MMMA maintains a steadfast dedication to driving innovation in UK manufacturing. Its approach is one of collaborative strength, establishing partnerships with niche companies to provide its members

with comprehensive support that spans a range of vital business sectors including insurance, finance, health and safety, human resources, and legal counsel.

These efforts have been crucial in boosting productivity and setting the standard for industry practices.

A landmark celebration As the MMMA approaches its 75th Anniversary in 2024, the occasion is not just a look back at its history, but also a moment to cast an eye forward to the promising future of its members and the manufacturing sector at large.

As a steadfast advocate for progress, sustainability, and global competitiveness the association is poised to continue its legacy of fostering industry excellence and shaping the future through apprenticeships and training initiatives.

The highlight of the year will be the MMMA Gala Dinner in November 2024. This event promises to be a splendid opportunity for industry professionals to come together and honour the strides made in the sector. The introduction of awards at the gala is poised to become a new tradition, celebrating the achievements

05

and setting a precedent for future excellence.

As the association embarks on this historic 75th year, it invites members, partners, and the broader community to join in the festivities.
