UK Metals Expo is a leading annual metal exhibition that brings together the global metal supply chain community, alongside the worlds of engineering, manufacturing, and construction. This year’s (2026) expo is scheduled to take place on the 4th and 5th of November, and over 320 exhibitors are currently in preparation to showcase their products and solutions across the supply chain – from manufacturing to metal processing, design, policy, metalworking, fabrication, CNC machinery, surface finishing, and recycling. It is, therefore, a great platform for not only to showcase products and solutions, but also to source a wide range of materials from manufacturers and distributors, as well as to learn about new processes, tools, machinery, technology, and services.
Participating in global expos of this level is of great value to custom aluminium extrusion manufacturers such as Swisstek Aluminium as it enables such entities to connect with market experts related to the industry from around the world, under one roof.

A glance at UK Metal Expo’s 2025 audience analysis offers a fairly good idea of the global scale of the event, and the strategic value it carries for participants and attendees. With a high concentration of buyers and decision makers in attendance, a large proportion of attendees defined their primary goal of attendance as gathering industry intelligence, while a significant proportion of attendees were keen on sourcing products and services. The event thus offers great potential for global custom aluminium extrusion manufacturers, such as Swisstek Aluminium, to showcase products and solutions offered by the brand.
