GLEAM Presents: Tour of Vaculug

Add to cal

Vaculug Ltd, Gonerby Road, Gonerby Hill Foot, Grantham NG31 8HE

Join EMMS for the next Greater Lincolnshire Engineering and Manufacturing Network (GLEAM) event, bringing together members of Lincolnshire’s manufacturing and engineering communities for a morning of networking, insight and an exclusive tour of Vaculug’s manufacturing facilities.

Taking place on Thursday 22 October 2026, this half-day event will begin with breakfast and an opportunity to connect with fellow professionals from across the region. We’ll then hear introductory presentations from Vaculug and the Bridge, before going behind the scenes with a guided tour of Vaculug’s facilities.

Established in 1950, Vaculug is Europe’s largest independent retreader, producing high-quality OTR and truck retread tyres for fleets across the UK and Europe, alongside providing practical fleet management solutions. Based on a 12-acre site in Grantham, Vaculug has built a strong reputation for innovation and sustainability within the tyre industry.

The tour will offer attendees an insight into Vaculug’s manufacturing operations and the retreading process, as well as the approaches the business is taking to reduce waste, optimise energy use and support a more sustainable future.

Register for free at www.eventbrite.com/e/gleam-presents-tour-of-vaculug-tickets-1999365204147

----------------------------------------

This event is for professionals in the manufacturing and engineering sector, places are limited and priority will be given to manufacturing businesses based in Greater Lincolnshire and Rutland. Unfortunately we are unable to accept intermediaries upon registration.

GLEAM is brought to you by Business Lincolnshire, Lincolnshire County Council, and the University of Lincoln.

EMMS Support for Conference Attendance

EMMS were pleased to be able to support Dominic Kelsey from The University of Nottingham to attend the LANE 2024 conference organised by the Institute of Photonic Technologies and held in Furth, Germany. Dominic said on his return from the conference "Attending LANE 2024 was an invaluable experience that greatly contributed to both my academic and professional development. The conference provided a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge research and industrial advancements in laser applications, especially in the fields of laser cutting and drilling. Presenting my first PhD paper on laser cutting of CFRP enhanced my public speaking skills and helped me gain confidence in structuring presentations for a scientific audience.
