Registration is now open for Hillhead 2026, the UK's premier quarrying, construction and recycling exhibition, which returns to Hillhead Quarry in Buxton from 23–25 June.
Organisers say the 2026 edition is expected to be the largest in the show's 44-year history, with more than 600 exhibitors confirmed across static displays and live demonstration areas. Sign-up is free and handled online, allowing visitors to pre-print badges for fast-track entry to the showground.
For tyre professionals, Hillhead offers a rare opportunity to see OTR equipment operating under real quarry conditions.
This year's exhibitor list includes a strong contingent of tyre manufacturers and service providers.
Michelin Tyre plc (V20) will showcase its OTR and construction ranges, while Continental (U2) brings earthmover products alongside its ContiConnect monitoring system. Goodyear Tyres UK Ltd (U13) will highlight its Total Mobility offering, with Triangle (V10) and Magna Tyres (W19) adding further depth across OTR and industrial segments.
On the wholesale and distribution side, GB Tyres (M6), Kirkby Tyres (W9) and City 1st Tyres (U5) will be on hand to discuss brand availability and technical support.
Service and sustainability are also well represented. Vaculug (W19) will display retreaded OTR options, T&C Site Services (U1) covers repair and maintenance, and Tyrefix UK (W23) offers nationwide plant tyre services.
Visitors focused on fleet uptime and safety can evaluate several monitoring and prevention systems. Wheely-Safe (PA26) will demonstrate its wheel-loss detection, rim temperature monitoring and TPMS technology, while Monaflex (RB32) showcases repair systems.
Puncture prevention and pressure maintenance solutions come from Air-Seal Products (PA38) and Tyre Protector (PC23). Wheel and wheel-safety specialists include Wheelmasters (H17), Rima UK (RB23) and Technowell Europe (PC52), with Wheelwash (H12) covering site biosecurity and clean-down equipment.
This year's show includes a new Startup Zone aimed at emerging technology and services. The My Hillhead browser app supports visit planning for registered attendees, offering exhibitor shortlists and on-site navigation.
Exhibiting demand remains high, with organisers advising prospective exhibitors to contact them directly for availability updates. Given the concentration of quarry and construction fleets across the North and Midlands, suppliers targeting OTR, repair and digital monitoring continue to view Hillhead as a high-value venue for reaching decision-makers.
Visitor registration is open now via the official Hillhead website. Confirmation and badge printing are available immediately after sign-up. Trade-only entry rules apply.
The exhibitors referenced above are listed on the official Hillhead website. An updated exhibitor list is scheduled for release in January 2026. Exhibitors wishing to discuss promotion or publication of their stand can contact Tyre News Media at info@tyrenews.co.uk
