We recently enjoyed a successful two days at Highways UK 2026, meeting industry professionals, strengthening customer relationships and unveiling our latest product innovation at the NEC Birmingham.
Held on 14th –15th October 2026, Highways UK brought together professionals from across the highways, traffic management and infrastructure sectors to explore new technologies, share industry knowledge and discuss the future of the UK’s road networks.
Introducing the New Nexus Barrier
One of the key highlights of this year’s exhibition was the unveiling of the Nexus Barrier, the latest addition to our range of heavy duty barrier systems.
The launch provided an opportunity to introduce Nexus to industry professionals, discuss its technical capabilities and gather valuable feedback from visitors.
Designed for demanding working environments, Nexus represents our continued commitment to developing practical solutions that respond to the evolving requirements of the highways and infrastructure industries.
The exhibition also provided an opportunity to discuss our wider product portfolio, including our range of barriers, ballast systems and associated site safety products.
Connecting with the Highways and Infrastructure Industry
Events such as Highways UK offer an important opportunity to engage directly with the people who use, specify, stock and distribute products across the industry.
Throughout the two-day event, our team enjoyed conversations with existing customers, potential new partners and other industry professionals. These discussions helped strengthen established relationships, explore future opportunities and exchange ideas on the challenges facing the sector.
Building strong relationships with stockists, distributors and end users remains an important part of our approach, helping the business understand changing market requirements and continue developing products that deliver practical value.
Sustainable Moulding Solutions for a Changing Industry
As a UK manufacturer with more than 30 years of experience, we continue to develop solutions for a wide range of applications across highways, construction, utilities, rail and other industrial sectors. Sustainability remains an important consideration, with a focus on durable products, responsible manufacturing and opportunities to support recycling and closed-loop material use.
Highways UK provided an ideal platform to discuss how these capabilities can support the industry’s changing needs, from effective traffic management and safer working environments to more sustainable product solutions.
