With the event celebrating its 40th anniversary, and after a 4 year COVID induced hiatus, Hillhead 2022 was always going to be a celebration of all that is admirable about the quarrying, construction and recycling industries. Set in a working quarry, in the heart of Derbyshire, the exhibition confirmed its standing as the biggest event of its kind in the world.

Not only does Hillhead boast stand space for 600+ exhibitors in the Main Pavilion, Registration Pavilion and Quarry Area; it’s also home to four separate demonstration areas - Quarry Face, Rock Processing, Recycling and Registration. In these areas there was a variety of machinery in action including excavators, wheel loaders, dozers, screening buckets, tracked and skid-mounted crushers, screens, shredders, screens and washing equipment.

For ATG, Hillhead 2022 proved to be a resounding success, not only for showcasing our global sourcing expertise to our target markets but also being actively involved in sponsoring various areas of the exhibition. Our support included hosting the Hillhead Café, sponsoring the branded lanyards and goodie bags, and supplying thousands of cups to the various eateries across the site.

It was particularly rewarding seeing the attendees carrying the various goodies in their ATG & A-Trax branded bags whilst wearing their lanyards. We supplied 20,000 lanyards and 8,000 bags, all of which were distributed by the excellent staff in the reception pavilion.

In addition, not only did we have our ATG, Global Sourcing Specialists, stand in the main Pavilion we also had stands for ATG Conveyor Components division and for our crawler track system manufacturer, A-Trax. This ensured that all of our business interests were represented at ATG with our key Technical and Sales Teams available to answer questions about our goods & services.

This ensured we were able to effectively explain to visitors that ATG’s business model offers a host of advantages that are in complete synergy with our customers’ requirements. Not only does ATG supply parts and components to international OEMs across the world we also offer the following benefits:

• All the parts have been qualified by our engineering teams prior to shipping.
• All logistics are managed including final delivery to anywhere in the world.
• A range of finance options are available to customers to suit their specific needs.
• Our Technical Team, with their in-depth knowledge of manufacturing and quality engineering, and with specific focus on castings, forgings, precision engineered components are there to support our customers along every step of the way.
• Our supply chain to do all of this is continually reviewed to guarantee its continued robustness.

There’s always great speculation about what the weather will be like at Hillhead. The general consensus is that it will rain cats and dogs or be glorious sunshine! Fortunately, the latter prevailed this time, with blue skies across the site for the entire 3 days. This made the Hillhead Café, sponsored by ATG Conveyor Components, the ideal place to retreat to for a little bit of rest and recuperation.

All in all, it was a fabulous three days at Hillhead 2022 getting back to having face to face meetings with existing customers and catching up with old friends. As ever, ATG’s unique business model proved to be extremely interesting to the many visitors who came to our stands. It was excellent to explain all of the benefits of working with ATG to continually deliver high quality sourcing solutions across the globe.
