Staged on Tuesday 9th May 2017, at the National Conference Centre near Birmingham, the MCI Gala Awards Dinner will once again bring together the entire motion control industry in a celebration of business and professional excellence. Recognising and rewarding the achievements of both individuals and companies operating within this important industry sector, personal endeavour, technical innovation, engineering advancement and commercial acumen will all be acknowledged and celebrated.
Industry wide engagement
Produced by Touchwave Media in conjunction with the British Fluid Power Association (BFPA), the British Fluid Power Distributors Association (BFPDA) the British Compressed Air Society (BCAS) - which collectively comprise the UK Motion Control Alliance - and GAMBICA, the awards will build on the successes of the inaugural 2016 programme. With well-deserved recognition given a host of leading industry names, such as, Rockwell Automation, Danfoss Drives, Mattei Compressors, PI, Parker Hannifin and Brammer and sponsorship provided by the likes of Bosch Rexroth, Beaumanor Engineering, BEKO TECHNOLOGIES, ABB and Hydraulics & Pneumatics, the MCI Awards can already claim wide industry engagement.
