Equipment Hire for MACH

MACH at the NEC Birmingham is the UK's national event for manufacturing technology, attracting machine tool manufacturers, automation specialists, precision engineering brands, and industrial software vendors every two years. It is one of the largest manufacturing events in Europe, with stands running live machining demonstrations, CNC showcases, and technical briefings across multiple halls.

Our EventPro® furniture range is built for the demands of multi-day industrial exhibitions. The NEC sits close to our Birmingham depot, which means reliable delivery slots and competitive transport costs during the MACH build-up.

Meeting and Consultation Furniture

Buyers attending MACH make significant capital decisions about machine tools, software, and automation systems. They need a stand environment that supports serious technical discussions rather than quick aisle conversations. Our chair hire range includes upholstered conference chairs and premium lounge seating for private briefing areas. A sofa and coffee table configuration gives senior engineers and procurement leads a comfortable setting for extended discussions away from the demonstration floor.

For formal contract or specification reviews, a rectangular meeting table with padded chairs creates a boardroom-style area within the stand. Our 8ft trestle tables with drawers provide documentation storage under a clean work surface.

Literature and Display

Technical data sheets, product brochures, and software catalogues are core to MACH exhibiting. Literature display stands keep printed materials organised and visible without taking over your main demonstration space. For scale models, precision samples, or tooling examples, our showcase units display items securely behind glass and lock overnight.

Poseur Tables and Aisle Presence

Poseur tables at the stand frontage create a natural stopping point for the hall floor traffic. Sales and application engineers can stand behind them to qualify visitors before directing them to the live demonstration area. Pair with bar stools for extended conversations.

Catering and Refreshments

Long demonstration days require a refreshment strategy for your team and for key visitors. Our hot drinks equipment hire covers commercial filter coffee machines and hot water boilers. For evening entertainment and press receptions, our glassware hire covers wine and champagne flutes. Our Send It Back Dirty policy applies to all crockery and glassware.

We coordinate with the NEC loading bay management and deliver to your stand number during your allocated build-up window. An SMS with an arrival estimate and live tracking link goes out on delivery morning. Collection follows after the final show day. Delivery is priced from £40 ex-VAT based on road distance from our Birmingham depot. Browse and order online now.

About the NEC

he National Exhibition Centre is located in Marston Green, Solihull close to both Birmingham International Airport and Birmingham International railway station. Opened in 1978, it has gone through various expansions and improvements to become the internationally renowned exhibition space it is today.

The NEC has a total of 20 interconnected halls offering a total of 190,000 square metres (2 million square feet) of floor space. There are 16,500 parking spaces spread out around the site, with a shuttle bus operating to and from all the car parks. Construction of the HS2 railway project will see a new railway station at Birmingham Interchange built close to the NEC and connected to the exhibition centre by a people mover.

Along with the Resorts World Arena, which is located on the NEC site, the National Exhibition Centre is operated by the NEC Group. The NEC Group also owns and operates Arena Birmingham and ICC Birmingham based in central Birmingham. Previously owned by Birmingham City Council, the NEC Group was sold to private investors in 2015 and is now owned by American investment company Blackstone.

We can deliver exhibition hire directly to your stand – simply confirm your event, hall and stand number when placing your order and we will do the rest.
