Altus Group Strengthens Industry Connections at Southern Manufacturing & Electronics 2025
February 11, 2025 | Altus GroupEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Altus Group, a leading distributor of capital equipment in the UK and Ireland, has concluded another successful year at Southern Manufacturing and Electronics 2025, where the team strengthened relationships with existing customers and engaged with new industry contacts. The event provided an ideal platform to showcase some of the leading-edge solutions in electronics manufacturing and discuss key projects set to shape the industry in 2025 and beyond.
This year, Altus highlighted four key machine processes from its portfolio, featuring advanced solutions from leading suppliers, including, Koh Young’s 3D Automated Optical Inspection (AOI), PVA’s Conformal Coating technology, Asscon’s Vapour Phase Soldering, and Essemtec’s All-in-One SMT Assembly system. Interest was particularly strong in conformal coating and modular SMT assembly, reinforcing a trend that has carried over from 2024.
Joe Booth, CEO of Altus Group said: “I'm always delighted after the Southern show as our stand becomes increasingly busy each year. My only disappointment is missing customers who wanted to connect with us because our team was already engaged in discussions.
“Ultimately, this event is great for catching up with numerous customers in one place and establishing a clear focus on priority projects where we can deliver the greatest value. Our close customers conveyed genuine excitement about the year ahead and emerging stability, further boosted by the promising outlook of declining interest rates, which should support increased investment in their facilities. I'm eager to see this interest translate into technical validations and successful implementations throughout the year."
Altus met with over 100 different UK manufacturing sites across the three-day event, discussing hundreds of live projects slated for 2025 and 2026. This high level of engagement demonstrates the ongoing opportunities within electronics manufacturing and positions the company for another strong year ahead.
A highlight of the show was Joe Booth’s presentation, Every Challenge is an Opportunity with the Right Vision, which explored how manufacturers can turn economic pressures into opportunities for innovation. The session reflected on key projects implemented by Altus in 2024 and provided insights into leveraging automation and advanced manufacturing solutions to navigate market challenges.
