SolderKing to Reinforce UK Manufacturing and Supply Reliability at Southern Manufacturing & Electronics 2026
December 18, 2025 | SolderKing Assembly Materials Ltd,Estimated reading time: 1 minute
With increased focus on supply chain resilience and consistent material performance across the electronics sector, UK-based solder consumables manufacturer SolderKing Assembly Materials Ltd. will use its presence at Southern Manufacturing & Electronics 2026 (3–5 February, Farnborough International Exhibition and Conference Centre, Stand L90) to reinforce the importance of local production, proven formulations and dependable technical support.
At the show, SolderKing will be highlighting its UK-manufactured range of solder wire, solder paste and flux products, supported by a wider consumables’ portfolio developed to support stable, repeatable and compliant electronics assembly across industrial and OEM manufacturing environments.
Rather than focusing on individual product launches, the company’s presence will centre on the strength and consistency of its established range, alongside a service-led approach that supports customers before, during and after supply.
Chris Ward, Managing Director at SolderKing Assembly Materials Ltd, said: “Consistency is not just about formulation, it’s about control. By manufacturing all of our consumables in the UK, we can manage raw material selection, batch verification and process parameters closely, while maintaining short lead times and secure supply.
“We also carry out application testing that reflects real production conditions. Events such as Southern Manufacturing are important because they allow us to discuss those technical details directly with manufacturers and understand where process stability and supply confidence are most critical.”
Visitors to SolderKing’s stand at Southern Manufacturing & Electronics 2026, taking place from 3–5 February at Farnborough International Exhibition and Conference Centre, will be able to review the company’s full range of UK-manufactured soldering consumables and discuss material selection, process requirements and supply considerations with the team on Stand L90.
