THE HOME OF UK MANUFACTURING
ConeX Portal UK. The members-only hub. Together, building a strong community of manufacturers, product developers, engineers and suppliers across the UK.
ConeX Portal UK is a members-only hub that connects the UK's manufacturing and engineering businesses and entrepreneurs. Together, we are building a strong community of manufacturers, product developers, engineers and suppliers across the UK.
We’re bridging the gaps in manufacturing, supporting the supply chain, solving industry challenges, and unlocking new opportunities.
“ConeX is one of the finest examples of true teamwork and collaboration in action. Driven by community, and valuing co-operation over competition, it’s the ideal network for SMEs.”
Andrea Wilson – Hone-All Precision
Community is our priority.
Start with a ConeX event:
Connecting the UKMfg community is easy with ConeX events. We host meet-ups and focus days at inspiring venues and trade shows across the UK. It’s the easiest way to get to know us.
Meet-ups from ConeX online:
Like-minded people in UK manufacturing use ConeX to come together to share knowledge, ask questions and work together to find solutions using our secure, confidential on-line platform.
Find your next project:
ConeX started because we want UKMfg’s supply chain to champion local and smaller suppliers. We’re not a networking referral group, our collaboration-first ethos means projects connect and thrive here.
“Hosting a ConeX event at our facility was a fantastic experience! It allowed us to showcase our space and connect with a whole new network of professionals”
Will Patrick – FermionX Manufacturing
