Pentre Group to attend UK Metals Expo 2026

From critical minerals to the adoption of AI, this year’s UK Metals Expo promises to map out the future of the industry. And Pentre Group is proud to be among the attendees.

The expo, taking place at the NEC Birmingham on 4–5 November, will enable us to meet suppliers, connect with industry peers and gain a clearer view of the metals market, both now and for the years ahead.

We’re looking forward to conversations with suppliers about the products and services they offer, as well as their perspective on the market. Meeting face to face gives us time to ask questions, understand capabilities and discuss the challenges the metals industry faces, so we can provide the right technical packaging solutions.

Connecting with peers is another important part of our visit. Manufacturers often face similar questions around sourcing, production and changing customer requirements. Hearing how others are approaching those questions can provide useful context for our own thinking.

The show’s conference programme covers areas including innovation, technology, supply chains and sustainability. We’ll be taking the opportunity to listen, learn and consider how wider developments could affect the sectors we serve.

For Pentre, the aim is to return with useful contacts and a better understanding of what lies ahead. That includes the immediate priorities businesses are dealing with, alongside developments that may influence materials, manufacturing and supply over the longer term.

If you’re attending the UK Metals Expo and would like to meet the Pentre team, we’d welcome a conversation. Whether you’re a supplier, an industry peer or a customer, get in touch before the event so we can arrange a suitable time to connect.
