The North East Automotive Alliance (NEAA) is pleased to announce that Unipres UK has come on board as a Partner Sponsor for the highly anticipated North East Automotive Expo 2026, further strengthening industry backing for the region’s flagship automotive event.
The Expo, taking place on 24 September at the Beacon of Light in Sunderland, continues to play a pivotal role in showcasing the strength, innovation, and collaborative spirit of the North East’s automotive supply chain. As the event grows in scale and impact, the addition of major industry players such as Unipres reflects the continued confidence in both the platform and the region.
Unipres UK joins a growing list of sponsors supporting this year’s event, with the NEAA recognising their contribution as instrumental in enabling meaningful engagement, business generation and sector-wide collaboration.
As a Tier 1 automotive supplier, Unipres plays a critical role within the UK and global automotive manufacturing landscape. Operating at the forefront of metal pressing and component manufacturing, the company works closely with OEMs, delivering high-quality, precision-engineered solutions that underpin vehicle production programmes.
Their presence within the North East is particularly significant, contributing to the region’s reputation as a hub of advanced manufacturing excellence. The company’s ongoing investment in capability, production efficiency, and innovation demonstrates the strength and resilience of the regional supply chain.
The Expo itself brings together OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and a wide range of stakeholders, offering a unique environment for companies like Unipres to connect directly with new and existing partners, explore procurement opportunities, and promote their capabilities across the sector.
As part of their sponsorship, Unipres will benefit from a strong presence at the event, including exhibition space, as well as supporting the Meet the Buyer. This format has become a key feature of the Expo, supporting targeted procurement discussions and strengthening supply chain relationships.
The North East Automotive Expo 2026 will once again bring together hundreds of delegates, over 100 exhibitors, and a broad cross-section of the automotive supply chain, reinforcing its position as the region’s premier automotive networking and exhibition.
The inclusion of Unipres as a Partner Sponsor further elevates the calibre of organisations supporting the event and underscores the strength of the Tier 1 community operating within the North East.
As momentum builds towards September, the North East Automotive Expo 2026 is set to showcase the very best of the region’s capability – and with leading Tier 1 organisations such as Unipres at the forefront, the event promises to deliver both scale and impact.
