From Birmingham to the United States: Our Week at MACH & NASCC 2026

Last week, we were present at two major industry events: MACH 2026 in Birmingham and NASCC 2026 in the United States. These exhibitions provided a great opportunity to connect with industry professionals, showcase our solutions, and gain first-hand insights into the trends shaping the future of fabrication.

MACH 2026: Connecting with the UK & Ireland Fabrication Community

Together with our valued partner Kaltenbach Ltd., we connected with many familiar contacts as well as new faces across the fabrication community in the UK & Ireland. This year, we brought our RoboRail to the show – a machine specifically designed for miscellaneous steelwork – and it certainly didn’t go unnoticed on the exhibition floor. The conversations we had confirmed a clear trend: fabricators are increasingly aware of the need for automation across their entire production process and are actively looking for solutions that meet those evolving demands.

In addition to the many fabricators, it was great to see the strong presence of technical students visiting the show. Their talent and skills will be essential for the future of our industry. A big thank you to everyone who visited us at MACH 2026 – we’re already looking forward to the next exhibition.

NASCC 2026: Strong Demand for Practical, Production-Ready Automation

At NASCC 2026, our team showcased the RPC 1200 mk3 in renewed HGG colors, emphasizing automated, high-precision profiling for structural steel. We ensured we focused on real-world applications, with visuals demonstrating efficiency gains and the possible reduction of manual work. Our conversations confirmed the strong demand for reliable, production-ready automation with a clear ROI, with the main topics being throughput, integration, and support. The topic of innovation was pushed to the background by the need for practicality, with visitors preferring clear customer cases over technical specifications.

The RPC 1200 mk3 we brought to the show fits well into this picture with its combination of precision, robustness, and proven impact on fabrication efficiency.
