NCMT will be exhibiting at the UK’s premier manufacturing and engineering showcase, MACH 2026, taking place at the NEC, Birmingham from 20–24 April 2026.
Located on stand 19-130, NCMT will present two significant machine technologies. There will be a UK debut of a Makino machining centre, which will be officially unveiled on the opening day of the exhibition. Alongside it, the Okuma MULTUS U3000 2SW 1500 will be running live demonstrations throughout the show.
The MULTUS U3000 2SW 1500 is a highly versatile multi-tasking machine designed to reduce lead times through part consolidation. Combining full 5-axis milling capability with high-performance turning, it enables complex components to be completed in a single set-up, improving accuracy while reducing handling and work-in-progress.
While advanced machining technology will be central to the stand, MACH 2026 will also mark the formal public launch of NCMT’s refreshed brand a considered evolution that reflects the business as it operates today.
With more than 60 years of history, NCMT has played a key role in the adoption of CNC machine tools across the UK and Ireland, a legacy reflected in its name, Numerical Control Machine Tools. The refreshed brand has been developed to better express NCMT’s position as an experienced, technically capable and solutions-led engineering partner, while maintaining the continuity, relationships and reputation built over decades.
Jonathan Smart, Managing Director of NCMT, said: “Launching our refreshed brand at MACH 2026 is a significant moment for NCMT. It reflects the business we are today, engineering-led, solutions-focused and firmly committed to supporting customers for the long term.”
“At MACH we will bring that to life, not only through our updated brand identity, but by showcasing advanced technologies from our partners Makino and Okuma.
We look forward to welcoming customers and partners, both longstanding and new, to stand 19-130 to discuss how we can support their next phase of manufacturing growth and development.
The decision to launch the refreshed brand at MACH 2026 has been deliberate. As the most important machine tool and manufacturing technology exhibition in the UK and Ireland calendar, MACH provides a natural platform to present NCMT’s heritage, current capability and future direction together.
Maja Foster, Head of Marketing at NCMT, added: “This refresh is an evolution rather than a revolution. Our values, partnerships and commitment to customers remain unchanged. What we have done is create greater clarity and consistency in how we communicate who we are and how we work supporting stronger collaboration and deeper, long-term relationships with our customers.”
Ian Horton, Sales Director at NCMT, added: “MACH is a key date in our calendar to meet face to face. With customers, partners and suppliers all in one place, it provides an efficient and valuable opportunity to engage directly with the wider market and strengthen relationships across the industry.
For our sales and engineering teams, it creates dedicated time to explore customers’ next stage of growth and development, understand production priorities in depth, and demonstrate our refreshed direction while identifying the right technical and commercial pathways together.”
The refreshed brand underpins NCMT’s next phase of growth, reinforcing confidence, stability and continued investment in engineering capability, service and customer support.
