National Workholding Symposium & Exhibition
Connect your sales and applications teams — and selected manufacturing customers — with world-class workholding expertise at Ireland's National Workholding Symposium & Exhibition.
Your customers invest in machine tools to achieve greater productivity, accuracy, flexibility and increasingly automation.
How the component is held can have a major influence on whether that potential is realised.
Workholding affects set-up time, rigidity, component access, repeatability, changeover, unattended production and the range of work that can be produced effectively on a machine.
NWSE brings specialist workholding knowledge together in one focused technical event — giving machine-tool sales and applications teams another resource for solving customer challenges and developing stronger machining solutions.
A machine-tool discussion rarely ends with the machine itself.
Component geometry, batch size, changeover, automation, accessibility, accuracy and productivity all influence the final manufacturing solution — and workholding connects directly with each of them.
Bringing your people to NWSE gives them direct access to international workholding specialists and practical application knowledge they can take back into future customer projects.
This isn't about turning your people into workholding specialistsIt's about giving them access to people who are
The Industry Partner Programme isn't only for your own team.
We want machine-tool partners to invite selected manufacturing customers whose production challenges, future investment plans or applications could benefit from deeper workholding knowledge.
Your customers attend as your guests, while NWSE provides access to specialist knowledge across a wide range of workholding technologies and machining applications.
You remain at the centre of your customer relationship
Your invitation creates the opportunity. NWSE provides the technical environment, international expertise and application knowledge.
The result is a valuable day that you and your customer can experience together — and conversations that can continue long after the event.
For your people
Approved Machine Tool Industry Partners can nominate members of their own sales, applications and technical teams to attend NWSE.
Up to 5 Team Passes
Use them for the people in your organisation who will gain most from direct access to specialist workholding knowledge.
For your customers
Invite selected manufacturing customers to attend NWSE as your guests.
Up to 10 Guest Passes
Use them where you believe the event can add genuine value to an existing or developing customer relationship.
Partner allocations are available until 31 October 2026, subject to overall event capacity
Whether you're discussing a new machine, an automation project, a turnkey package or improving the productivity of an existing installation, workholding can materially influence the final result.
NWSE gives your team and customers direct access to specialists covering multiple approaches to workpiece clamping — in one place, on one day.
No competing machine-tool agendaNo expectation that you become a workholding specialist
Just a focused technical environment designed to help manufacturers understand how better workholding can contribute to better machining.
NWSE brings together specialist technologies covering a broad range of workholding challenges and machining applications.
Together they bring expertise spanning adhesive workholding, conventional and specialist clamping, rotary positioning, high-performance vices, centres and drivers, vacuum workholding, magnetic workholding and zero-point systems.
Different technologiesDifferent applicationsOne objective: better use of the machine tool
This breadth gives your team and customers the opportunity to explore different approaches to real manufacturing challenges rather than viewing workholding through the lens of a single technology.
NWSE is intentionally focused.
Attendance is limited, creating an environment where meaningful technical conversations can actually take place.
The programme combines specialist presentations, workholding technology sessions, application cases, demonstrations, an expert panel, questions and networking.
And where a customer has proprietary components, production methods or commercially sensitive applications to discuss, private space will be available for confidential conversations.
We're inviting selected machine-tool manufacturers, distributors and dealers serving the Irish market to become NWSE Machine Tool Industry Partners.
There is no requirement to exhibit and no expectation that you become a workholding specialist.
We simply want your sales and applications teams involved in the conversation — and we'd like you to bring selected manufacturing customers who would benefit from it.
Together, we can connect machine capability with better workholding knowledge and help Irish manufacturers get more from their investment in machining technology.
Give your team access to specialist workholding knowledge
Give selected customers an invitation to Ireland's National Workholding Symposium & Exhibition
And help turn machine capability into better manufacturing results
