Meet Goodfellow at The Advanced Materials Show 2026
8–9 JULY 2026 | NEC BIRMINGHAM | FIND US AT STAND 318 (HALLS 6 & 7)
CLOSING THE GAP: MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS FROM RESEARCH TO APPLICATION
Once again, Goodfellow will be exhibiting at The Advanced Materials Show, the UK’s leading event for advanced materials innovation and application.
This year, as headline sponsors of the Main Stage, our focus is on one of the biggest barriers to innovation: scaling materials from discovery to production.
During two days of technical conversations, and direct access to our full range of products and services, we will lead the conversation on how R&D teams can move successfully from lab to production — without being forced back to the drawing board.
We will also showcase Goodfellow's evolving role from R&D supplier to integrated materials partner. With in-house capabilities including microfabrication, materials processing, failure analysis and materials testing, we connect discovery and production, so that scale-up becomes an advantage, not an obstacle.
What You'll Find at Stand 318
At Stand 318, you can meet our team to discuss your specific engineering challenges and explore how Goodfellow supports materials development at every stage, from initial sourcing to custom fabrication and validation.
Talk to our experts about:
- Sourcing rare, specialist, or hard-to-find materials.
- Selecting materials for demanding technical applications.
- Custom components and microfabrication requirements.
- Certified reference materials for testing, validation and quality control.
Goodfellow CEO Simon Kenney will open the show with his keynote address

About The Advanced Materials Show
The Advanced Materials Show is the UK's leading exhibition and conference for advanced materials, attracting around 3,000 visitors each year. Co-located with The Advanced Ceramics Show, Battery Cells & Systems Expo, and Vehicle Electrification Expo, it unites four complementary industries in one environment, enabling collaboration across technologies, sectors, and applications.
With 200+ exhibitors spanning aerospace, medical, electronics, construction and defence, the show covers the latest developments in nanomaterials, composites, polymers, ceramics, adhesives and sealants, coatings, metals and textiles.
The 2026 conference follows six tracks: AI and Machine Learning for Materials; Defence and Aerospace; Materials Energy and Batteries; Materials Testing and Characterisation; The Advanced Materials Landscape: Current State and Direction; and The Ceramic Additive Opportunity.
