For the second year in a row, Canadian metalworking magazine will be hosting a one-day tabletop show at the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver Theatre in Coquitlam, British Columbia.

The metalworking Manufacturing and Production Expo (MM&P Expo) will take place on May 6, 2014, and feature displays of the latest in machine tools, cutting tools, fabricating and welding technologies, production software, and metrology.

Exhibitor space at the show has already been sold out this year, but attendance and parking will be free for visitors. The show will be open from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.

Like last year’s event the show will be co-locating with Canadian metalworking’s sister publication, Design Engineering.  Combined, there will be 88 total exhibitors for visitors to interact with.

“After the successful launch of the inaugural metalworking Manufacturing and Production Expo in 2013 the show is returning in 2014 to British Columbia on May 6,” says Stephanie Chiang, Event Manager for the MM&P Expo.

“Filling a niche market, MM&P Expo provides a comfortable, cost-effective and efficient environment for buyers and suppliers to re-connect and develop their relationships.”

The MM&P Expo will also be expanding to include another stop in western Canada, and a show in Windsor, ontario later this year.

“based on the overwhelming success of the Coquitlam MM&P Expo in 2013, we are pleased to announce the addition of a second show in western Canada, in Calgary on May 27,” says Rob Swan, Associate Publisher of Canadian metalworking.

“This type of event was a new concept for us, and quite frankly we didn’t know what to expect.  We’re pleased to say it exceeded all expectations, and has given us a great opportunity to connect our readership with leading suppliers from across Canada and the U.S.

“Canadian metalworking is a national publication, so it’s important for us to explore all areas wher metal manufacturing thrives.  Expanding this successful event in western Canada was really a no-brainer.”

The Calgary show will be held at the Commonwealth Centre, while the Windsor event will be at the city’s Ciociaro Club.

The Coquitlam MM&P Expo is sponsored by Sandvik Coromant, Mazak Canada, ElliotMatsuura Canada, TRUMPF, and Renishaw.
