Materials Testing – the most comprehensive exhibition in the world of testing for quality, non-destructive testing (NDT), materials testing, condition monitoring and diagnostic technology – returned in 2019 with a new range of features and industry speakers.
Materials Testing 2019 took place from 3-5 September in Telford, UK and was bigger and better than ever. More than 70 exhibitors from countries around the world were in attendance.
Materials Testing 2019 is free of charge for visitors, who 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 2019 presents companies with a major forum for promoting their products and services and interfacing with their markets; a unique opportunity to:
- present the latest technologies
- source new contacts
- meet industry colleagues
- keep up-to-date
- get new business
Materials Testing takes place once every two years and is recognised as one of the leading international exhibitions for the NDT, condition monitoring, diagnostic engineering and quality testing industries.
The event is organised by the British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing (BINDT), and runs alongside BINDT’s annual NDT Conference, providing additional networking opportunities.
The venue for the exhibition - the International Centre in Telford, in the West Midlands - is less than one-and-a-half hours from three international airports and only five minutes away from the UK rail and motorway networks.
