Materials Testing 2017
5-7 September 2017, The International Centre, Telford, UK
Materials Testing – the most comprehensive exhibition in the world of testing for quality, non-destructive testing (NDT), materials testing, condition monitoring and diagnostic technology – 2017 showed a new range of features and industry speakers.
Materials Testing 2017 took place from 5-7 September in Telford, UK and was bigger and better than ever. More than 40 exhibitors from countries around the world signed up, with the final number around 70.
Materials Testing 2017 is free of charge for visitors, who will benefit not only from a concentration of materials testing innovation and excellence, but also from an enhanced programme of talks and seminars in the exhibition hall, covering practical aspects of NDT and related technologies.
Cost-effective participation packages
Materials Testing 2017 will present companies with a major forum for promoting their products and services and interfacing with their markets; a unique opportunity to:
