MPM Group is returning to Advanced Engineering 2026, exhibiting at the NEC Birmingham on 4–5 November 2026.
Following our experience at last years event, this year's exhibition provides another opportunity for MPM to connect with manufacturers, engineers, OEMs and supply-chain professionals looking for reliable UK composite manufacturing partners.
MPM will be exhibiting at Stand U152, where visitors can meet the team and discuss everything from GRP component manufacture and tooling through to pattern making, product development, 3D scanning and CNC machining.
Bringing Composite Manufacturing Expertise to Advanced Engineering
Advanced Engineering brings together companies from across the UK engineering and manufacturing supply chain, with sectors including aerospace, automotive, defence, energy, electronics and advanced manufacturing.
The 2026 event takes place at the NEC Birmingham on 4–5 November, with the Composites Engineering Show forming an important part of the wider exhibition.
For MPM, the event is an opportunity to demonstrate how composite manufacturing can support manufacturers looking to develop components that are lightweight, durable, corrosion resistant and capable of being produced to specific design requirements.
GRP / COMPOSITES MANUFACTURING
From Design and Tooling to Production
One of the challenges facing manufacturers when developing composite components is managing the different stages between initial concept and production.
Design, pattern making, tooling and manufacturing all need to work together.
At MPM, these capabilities are brought together under one roof.
- Product development
- Precision pattern making
- Composite tooling
- GRP component manufacturing
- Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM)
- 3D scanning and reverse engineering
- CNC machining and kitting
- Fit-out and delivery
This integrated approach allows manufacturers to work with a single composite manufacturing partner across multiple stages of a project.

Why Composite Manufacturing Continues to Matter
Across many engineering sectors, manufacturers are looking for ways to balance performance, weight, durability, cost and design flexibility.
GRP and other composite materials can offer advantages where traditional materials such as steel or aluminium may introduce additional weight, corrosion or manufacturing challenges.
The flexibility of composite manufacturing also allows components to be designed around specific applications rather than relying solely on standardised parts.
This is particularly relevant across automotive and commercial vehicles, leisure vehicles, infrastructure, energy and industrial engineering.
