About UK Metals
The leading event that brings the entire metals supply chain together with the worlds of engineering, manufacturing & construction.
By 2030, the metals industry aims to be a modern, progressive and competitive sector, supplying high-quality, innovative products to manufacturers and infrastructure projects across the UK and beyond. Far from being a “sleeping giant”, the industry is a vital powerhouse facing major opportunities and challenges, including skills shortages, effective recycling and post-Brexit trading.
UK Metals Expo is the first event to bring the entire metals industry together under one roof.
Backed by the UK Metals Council, trade associations and industry bodies, it represents the full supply chain, from primary manufacture and processing to fabrication, coatings and recycling. With expert speakers, leading suppliers and key themes such as supply chains, innovation, skills and circular economy, it is a must-attend event for anyone working in or supplying the metals industry.
