GAMBICA to head up this year’s MACIES at Siemens, Manchester 27 February 2014

GAMBICA, the instrumentation, control and automation trade association, is to host the 11th Measurement and Control Information Exchange System (MACIES) event, at Siemens, Manchester on 21 March.

The informal gathering reviews market data, estimates the UK process automation market size for around 40 equipment categories and make predictions for the next year.

Previous discussions at the MACIES gathering have included instrumentation and control products, including pressure and level instruments, flowmeters, recorders, analytical instruments, smart positioners, field devices, control systems and infrared temperature measurement.

Andrew Evans, technical executive at GAMBICA, says that this year sees the formation of a new category for gas chromatographs.

"MACIES is an excellent opportunity for established businesses to meet fellow industry leaders and for smaller, newer companies to become a part of the community," comments Evans.

"It also gives us a chance to better coordinate our efforts for the next financial year, based on very accurate industry data. This will help the industry continue to grow in a sustainable, responsible manner."

David Newell, UK managing director of Endress & Hauser, says: "Industry data at the MACIES events has always been invaluable to our company. It is the only reliable source of market data for UK process instrumentation and control equipment"

Companies interested in attending the event can find out more by contacting Sarah Wicks on 0207 642 8080 or by e-mail at swicks@gambica.org.uk.

Tickets to the event are £60 for GAMBICA members and MACIES is still open to non-GAMBICA members for £120.
