SMMT is pleased to announce the commodity list is now available for the next Meet the Buyer event.
On Thursday 23 May 2013, SMMT’s free supply chain event returns for the 7th time, matching more automotive buyers with UK suppliers than any other event.
Meet the Buyer 2013:
SMMT is aiming for the 2013 event to be the biggest yet with the inclusion of aftermarket buyers, international buyers and a facilitated networking area providing more private meeting space and a wider range of opportunities for companies of all sizes.
Industry is now experiencing the effect of the recent OEM investments flowing down through the supply chain, which will continue to create fantastic new opportunities for UK suppliers in 2013.
Last year’s event saw over 50 purchasing personnel from over 20 OEM and Tier 1 automotive organisations including Aston Martin, Nissan, CAB Automotive and Faurecia. Over 330 pre scheduled one to one meetings took place on the day.
