The UK’s biggest processing and packaging machinery, robotics and industrial vision event, the PPMA Total Show, returns to the NEC, Birmingham, this month.
The 2025 edition takes place from 23–25 September, uniting industry professionals from across the manufacturing spectrum for networking, live equipment demonstrations and insight into the latest technologies.
Last year’s event has been shortlisted as a finalist in the Best UK Trade Show category at The AEO Excellence Awards 2025. More than 80 percent of visitors reported that they’d discovered new solutions to enhance and support their businesses as a direct result of their attendance. Organisers Automate UK have vowed to deliver a show that exceeds expectations this year, with an itinerary of expert speakers, a networking reception and a series of live demos showcasing the latest technology solutions. Already, the 2025 show is shaping up to be bigger and better, with more than 350 exhibitors and 1,500 brands in attendance.
Scott McKenna, Chief Operating Officer, said: “This year, we’re offering visitors to chance to benefit and learn from expert-led seminars with relevant topics including sustainability, smart manufacturing, and operational efficiency, as well as dedicated networking opportunities throughout the course of the show.
“One of the standout successes of The PPMA Show 2024 was Innovations Eleven – a brand new live demo theatre, in which 11 selected exhibitors launched new technology directly to attendees, and we’re enhancing that experience this year.
“The 2025 live demo theatre will be broadcast in real-time via PPMA Total Show TV, whilst expert-led daily innovation tours will be hosted for visitors to expand on the technology being showcased and its suitability for their business needs,” he added.
Attendance for The PPMA Total Show 2025 is free, with registration now open. To register, visit: https://www.ppmashow.co.uk
