AMF Site Visit: Inside Oseco Elfab – Innovation, Collaboration & Knowledge Transfer

Join the Advanced Manufacturing Forum for an exclusive site visit to Oseco Elfab in North Shields, a global leader in pressure relief and explosion protection solutions, where innovation, engineering excellence and continuous improvement are central to everything they do.

Hosted by Rachel Mansfield, Managing Director of Oseco Elfab and AMF Vice Chair, this event offers members the opportunity to go behind the scenes of a world-class manufacturing facility, hear about the company’s journey and future ambitions, and enjoy an exclusive guided factory tour.

The visit will also showcase how collaboration between manufacturing and higher education can unlock new opportunities for innovation.

As a valued Advanced Manufacturing Forum partner, Northumbria University will introduce the practical support available through Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs), with Dr Matthew Sutherland and colleagues explaining how businesses can access specialist academic expertise to solve technical challenges, improve productivity, accelerate innovation and develop new capabilities.

Rather than focusing on theory, the session will explore how manufacturers can work alongside universities to deliver real business improvements through collaborative projects, bringing together academic knowledge with industrial experience to achieve measurable commercial impact.

Whether you’re looking to improve processes, embrace new technologies, develop products or simply understand what support is available, this event will provide practical insight, valuable networking and the opportunity to see collaboration in action.
