MMMA Directory

The Metalforming Machinery Makers Association Sales & Marketing Directory Brochure

Promoting companies involved in the manufacture and sale of metalforming machinery and ancillary technologies

MMMA, “Metalforming Machinery Makers Association.”

W elcome all to the launch of the all New MMMA Members Directory. The MMMA is steeped in a very long history of everything to do with machines and metal work manufacturing. My name is Adrian Haller and I’m proud to be the Chairman of this esteemed organisation. All our members are like minded in the sense that the focus is UK manufacturing and the support of this industry. If you are one of these like-minded organisations, we look forward to talking to you and help us build on our foundations. The launch of this MMMA Members Directory is on the cusp of the long awaited MMMA metal working village exhibition at Mach 2022 which is the largest we have seen in some time, showcasing all the specialities, technologies and capabilities of each member for our Metalworking sector. We are proud of our organisation in so many ways. It’s ability to support our members for all different areas, from HR issues through skills training for employed, and also new talent through our members such as Make UK etc. We meet every quarter to discuss what’s happening in the market place at interesting venues such as Space Centre, members’ offices, and affiliate members so as to make the meetings interesting on all levels. The open and frank discussions

We work with all manner of training organisations which can bring many options to the table for new apprentice trainees, through to already employed personnel who want to develop, grow, and learn. Much of which is free of charge, allowing companies to keep up with demanding skills and new legislation. A good example of this is the UKCA rules, for which we are currently running informational courses to help understand the process and what’s needed. We are sponsored by many other bodies who invest in us and our mission to supply an organisation which is solely for our members. Not only do they invest financially but also allow significant discounts towards any of their portfolio, whatever that may be. The future is key to our success, and indeed our members’ success. We are now putting in firm roots to strengthen our foundations which we want to grow! I do hope you enjoy this Members directory and support us in our outlook and we look forward to welcoming all new members that would like to join us along our journey.

We are a none profit organisation, so everything is for the members and about the members. We are on all social media platforms with a fully operational website and share our marketing across lots of different platforms. We supply endless opportunities for members to distribute their marketing, press releases and end user stories, free of charge as many times as they wish. It’s your MMMA use it - and together we will help each other grow. The MACH exhibition is one of the key highlights of what being a member offers. MMMA membership and its ‘Metal Working Village’ is where we can make our platform of Metal work excellence known and demonstrate our core capabilities as an organisation. Our members have complete focus towards their own interests on this said platform which is then repeated across all social media platforms such as YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram and Twitter etc, all part of our membership package. We encourage user stories and new developments within our members’ sectors so it can be shared to a wider audience within the MMMA thus striking conversational ideas collectively, solving problems with a healthy, positive attitude.

At the heart of the metal forming industry

quite dependent on the automotive sector, but is looking to diversify into other sectors and there are major opportunities on the horizon, notably in the electric vehicles (EV) and medical sectors. Leath-Dawson believes things will naturally diversify to sectors, such as e-mobility and EV which is an ever-growing market, as every electric motor has to have several metal stampings, while are also other applications that many would not think metal forming plays a key role. “The UK is leading EV technology globally at the moment and there is a lot of innovation going on and taking place with several new start-ups for passenger and commercial vehicles. There is a great opportunity and as these innovations come forward it will naturally diversify as these opportunities are created.” BREXIT AND RESHORING The UK left the European Union (EU) at the end of 2020 when the transition period ended, but will this move have an impact on the sheet metal forming industry? Leath-Dawson is sure that leaving the bloc will provide a positive boost to the industry. “We go back to the 1970s slogan ‘Buy British’ and things start to be more nationally produced which will be good for manufacturing and our economy. I think it will have a stronger local focus that will be great for our industry.” Haller concurs, and feels the reduced bureaucracy will help boost trade to other markets so leaving the EU allows the UK to spread its wings, opening up new opportunities across the globe. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic a Reshoring UK programme was launched to bring back more manufacturing and engineering home along with some concerns over the UK’s reliance on global supply chains. This initiative is being firmly backed by the association. Haller feels the programme is “absolutely essential” and is much needed by the UK’s power press makers, providing an opportunity to pull together to grow business and help

The MMMA is growing its membership despite a difficult period due to the Covid-19 pandemic and will showcase everything it offers, every other year in the Metalworking Village at the bi-annual MACH show.

T he Metalforming Machinery Makers The Association’s membership has been growing

strongly after it changed the membership criteria to include ancillary equipment manufacturers and British- based importers, evolving to also include roll forming and sheet metal machine manufacturing companies. The MMMA can now count on 39 members, with more than 20 added since the rebrand that now even features recruitment firm Glen Callum Associates, training company In-Comm Training and Business Services, and a safety expert. Times have been challenging, as key trade show MACH 2020 which is a critical event, was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but the MMMA has used the time to help members and plan for future MACH shows, hosting bigger and better Metalworking Villages. KEY TO THE RECOVERY Since the outbreak of Covid-19, the sheet metal forming industry has like many industries suffered, especially as it is heavily reliant on the automotive sector. However the MMMA is positive about the prospects for the industry and its members and believes there will be a strong recovery. Chairman Adrian Haller, managing director (MD) of Bruderer UK, a key supplier of high speed presses of 10-to-1000-ton capacity in the UK, says it has been a challenging period on different levels but business has proven to be resilient. “It’s been difficult, no question, and a double whammy with both Covid-19 and Brexit challenges, but on the whole very promising. Our industry is used to ever-changing environments with one thing and another. “Another difficulty has been trying to get

engineers into our customers and most of our industry has an ageing workforce - so have had to shield, which has proven to be another big challenge, as during the first lockdown, no hotels or amenities were open so working on site was very difficult.” Haller believes that manufacturing and engineering hold the key to the UK recovery and is the only way to get the country “back up and running” at full capacity, forecasting a V-shaped recovery. He is very positive about the future of the sheet metal forming industry. Vice chairman Phil Leath-Dawson, MD of Schuler UK, a provider of mechanical and hydraulic presses, feels the biggest challenge now is the continued uncertainty. He explains that due to being a heavily automotive-based industry, many power press makers have faced strong headwinds, although there is a drive to diversify away from being too reliant on the sector. “It has been really difficult as we have been fully-booked for periods, but then there have been these huge voids of nothing inbetween,” says Leath-Dawson. “That is the biggest problem we face, as before we could plan things, but there is no consistent business and we do not know what it will be from week to week. The sheet metal forming industry has traditionally been

MMMA members grow their business. Reshoring UK will also prove an invaluable tool for the MMMA to grow its membership. Marketing coordinator Bill Neal explains: “It is up to us to keep our members up-to date about what opportunities are out there for them, as certainly, the indications are there in some industries that companies are looking to bring production back into the UK. “When they do that, these companies will need to employ the latest production techniques and technology in order to compete, and many of our members are in the right position to deliver that.” BLACK HOLE The engineering industry is suffering from a skills shortage and a lack of talent coming through, as the younger generation would often rather pursue other ways of forging a career and making money – leaving somewhat of a ‘black hole’ knowledge gap. One of the aims of the MMMA is to boost interest in engineering and careers in the metal forming industry, making it more desirable for young people to follow a career path in it, as there is a lack of skilled engineers in the 20s to 30s age range. Leath-Dawson believes the skills shortage is a “massive issue” for the industry and the biggest challenge it faces, as the average age of employees is so high, but they will need to be replaced sometime in the near future. “For the last 20 years engineering has been looked on as a bit of a ‘dirty industry’ and is not appealing enough for young people, as they can make more money on YouTube and think - why would I want to do engineering that takes four years to serve an apprenticeship in before I can start adding value,” he says. “The benefi s of bringing in this recruitment company, are that we can make engineering more appealing to people. There are great individual skill sets out there, but it is making

them understand that engineering is somewhere these skill sets can be used.” Haller notes there a wide range of engineering opportunities for the youth, but the industry has to market itself better and more attractively to attract young people to pursue careers. At the MACH shows, students are be taken around the event and the MMMA Metalworking Village, which presents a chance to show what opportunities are available and how interesting a career in metal forming can be. Haller says: “The more we can get young people coming to see things for themselves – the better. You need to get into their knowledge and see whether they want to work on these machines, do they want to work for a living and are they prepared to put five years of time and understand how it all works.” Digitisation is evolving fast in the metal forming industry, like in many industries and Haller believes that the key job skill for any young engineer coming through is mechatronics. “Every machine tool and everything you touch nowadays, there is some sign of electronics or computer-control with it and if you do not understand them both then you have not got it,” he says. However, despite the technological advancements in machines, Haller believes engineers still need to understand traditional skills and how to use traditional milling machines like reverse mill, end-mil, before they can go on to a CNC machine and need to know the basic skills, but also have electronic skills in the back of the mind. He adds: “We have got to train time-served engineers from senior guys through to the youth who have the electronic skills. You still need the seniors to look at this and do that, but that is where our black hole is at the moment. “We are training these guys up by the senior guys, who are ready to retire and there is a black hole, where we have lost years and years of experience.”
