We know manufacturing.

The Manufacturer, published by Hennik Research (part of Nineteen Group), has been at the heart of the sector for over 30 years, giving us unrivalled reach and expertise in the industry. As rapid advances in technology drive transformation in the industrial landscape, we’re on the frontline of that change, working with the most innovative manufacturers and technology providers. We share that insight with our community.

Manufacturers prosper because we make sense of the change and maximise resulting business opportunities for our community, putting them ahead of the curve. We do this every day, meeting and talking with manufacturing companies across the UK, Europe and the USA, and reporting on their challenges and successes across our multimedia portfolio, providing the insights and connections to help them make the right decisions and thrive.
