Highly Successful Year at Southern Manufacturing & Electronics 2026
DKL Metals recently returned from a high-impact showing at the Southern Manufacturing & Electronics Exhibition 2026. We shared our stand with our trusted distributor, Surclean, who provides technical solutions and expert advice to our low volume customers.
Outstanding Event Performance
This year, DKL Metals outperformed expectations. Official data confirms we ranked in the top 5% for page visits and the top 15% for on-floor enquiries across the entire event.
In a hall dominated by robotics and software, these results prove that high-quality assembly materials remain the priority for UK manufacturers. We enjoyed meeting both new and long-term customers to discuss the future of their production lines.
SN100CV Solder Paste Spotlight
Our technical exhibit focused on Nihon Superior’s SN100CV solder paste. This next-generation lead-free alloy offers exceptional thermal resistance and improved wetting performance for demanding environments.
Our performance gained international attention. Nihon Superior highlighted DKL Metals’ success on their global news feed, cementing our position as a key partner in the global supply chain.
