In April 2012, the MACH Exhibition hosted a vibrant seminar programme which looked at the theme of ‘The Next 5 Years’.
Each presentation focused on providing an insght into the future plans of the organisation and most specifically how companies can position themselves to become part of these plans and potentially part of the presenting OEM’s supply chain.
