Engineering Supply Chain UK – Building a Stronger Future for UK Manufacturing
Engineering Supply Chain UK (ESCUK) connects companies across the supply chain to build a resilient industry that is ready to face today’s challenges and unforeseen circumstances.
Originally established just after the Second World War as the Engineering Industries Association (EIA), our mission has always been to strengthen the UK supply chain.
Today, under our new name and direction, ESCUK once again leads the way, providing a platform where UK buyers and suppliers can network, collaborate, and “reshore” products and services.
Supporting the Entire Engineering Supply Chain
Our members represent a wide range of capabilities across UK manufacturing and engineering, from products and services to subcontracting, including:
- Precision-machined parts
- Castings and forgings
- Coating and finishing
- Mechatronic and electronic design & assembly
- Extrusion, fabrication, forming, pressings and stampings
- Tool making, forming and manipulation

Whatever your role is in the industry, ESCUK helps you run your business, showcase your expertise and connect with new opportunities.
Stronger Together – Part of the MTA Cluster
Now part of the Manufacturing Technologies Association (MTA) cluster alongside Additive Manufacturing UK (AMUK), ESCUK is uniquely positioned to support members as new technologies shape the future of engineering. Together, we are building a thriving community of manufacturing and engineering excellence.
A Platform for Growth at MACH
At the heart of this is the Engineering Supply Chain Zone at MACH, which is the UK’s leading manufacturing technologies exhibition. MACH has over 26,000 industry leaders and decision-makers come together to explore new technologies and specify UK subcontracting work, products and services. For our members, it’s an unrivalled opportunity to network and grow, and as sponsors of the event, our members are offered the best rate for participation.
