Altus Group, a distributor of advanced electronics manufacturing equipment in the UK and Ireland, will return to Southern Manufacturing & Electronics on 3-5 February 2026 with a strong line-up of advanced process technologies from leading global suppliers. The exhibition remains one of the most significant events for the electronics manufacturing sector, bringing together equipment innovators, engineers and production specialists from across the industry.

Altus will present a selection of systems that reflect the company’s commitment to improving quality, efficiency and process control. Demonstrations will include Koh Young’s 3D Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) technology, which delivers precision and data-driven insight for quality assurance. YJ Links’ conveyoring will highlight the next step in intelligent line integration, while PVA’s latest conformal coating and dispensing equipment will demonstrate consistent performance across complex applications.

Visitors will also be able to find out more about ASSCON’s vapour phase soldering technology, designed for high-reliability production, and see Scienscope’s newest innovation, the AXC-830 X-ray component counter, making its UK debut at the event.

Completing the line-up is the Essemtec FOX 2 modular pick-and-place platform, offering the flexibility and scalability required for high-mix production environments.

Joe Booth, CEO of Altus Group, says: “Southern Manufacturing remains a key date in the Altus calendar. It’s the perfect platform to engage directly with manufacturers and show how the right technology can transform production. For 2026, we’ve chosen a cross-section of solutions that address real customer challenges, from inspection accuracy and process traceability to automation and throughput.”
