The MLA Expo 21 will be
back, and bigger than ever
Following on from the successful 2019 Expo the MLA is proud to be
sharing further information about the Expo’s return in 2021. The MLA
recently announced ABUS as the main sponsor for the Expo 2021.
This marked the start of a new and close partnership between the
two organisations that will culminate in the show returning to The
International Centre, Telford on the 22nd October – 24th October 2021.
» PETER ROMANOV,
Managing Director at ABUS
UK said: “Locksmiths are
simply at the very heart of
the ABUS business. As well
as being key customers for
us, they connect us directly
to the people who use our
products; homeowners and
businesses that want to keep
their homes, businesses, and
property secure, and their
families safe. They offer help
and advice and support in
ways that other trades can’t
and won’t. We see this new
relationship with the MLA
as a way to show support
for the locksmith trade and
provide certainty and support
to locksmiths in uncertain
times. It is proof of our
commitment to the trade and
the mutual values that we
share.”
Paul Spencer, Marketing
Director of Abus UK also
shared his thoughts on
what is set to be a great
event: “We, at ABUS in the
UK, are incredibly excited
to be involved as the main
sponsor for the MLA Expo
2021. It’s a great opportunity
for us to support the MLA
at a fantastic event as well
as outlining our drive to
work closely with locksmith
partners in providing and
developing exciting and
innovative security solutions
for the future. We have a
wide range of exciting new
products and innovations
that we are looking forward
to showcasing at the MLA
Expo 2021. As well as new,
registered, and patented key
systems and a wide range of
high security padlocks, we
will also be presenting new
developments in our Smart
Home product range, CCTV,
Safety and Mobile Security
solutions.”
Steffan George Managing
Director of the Master
Locksmiths Association
had this to say about the
new sponsorship: “We are
delighted that ABUS have
agreed to sponsor MLA Expo
21, especially so early on in
the process. This shows not
only how keen ABUS are to
be involved in the biggest
locksmiths show in Europe
but also how they want
to support the locksmith
industry, especially in the
current climate. We look
forward to working with Peter
Romanov, UK Managing
Director and his team on what
promises to be the biggest
and best Expo yet.”
With the ongoing growth
and successes of the Expo
the MLA is excited to be
providing a reinvigorated
training offering across the
three days with refreshed
and new courses available for
attendees. More information
and course details will be
shared in early 2021.
The Expo will also see the
return of the Gala dinner
taking place on the Saturday
night, as always you can
expect an entertaining night
with fantastic food and our
charity raffle which has
raised over £5000 across our
previous two galas offering
attendees the chance to
win some fantastic prizes.
The gala dinner is always a
sell-out night so be sure to
keep an eye out for booking
information.
The forthcoming months
will see the MLA sharing
further information on for
exhibitors and further details
on the Auto locksmith side
of things with The Garage.
