Expo to push VN manufacturing potential
Vietnamese enterprises will have the opportunity to access the latest manufacturing and tool technologies at the 8th Viet Nam International Precision Engineering, Machine Tools and Metalworking Exhibition (MTA) held in HCM City next month.
The four-day (July 5-8) event, covering 8,800sq.m is the largest ever exhibition of its kind to be held in the city, Bui Thi Thuc Anh, director of VCCI Exhibition Service Ltd Co, said at a press conference held yesterday in HCM City.
MTA Viet Nam would incorporate Metrology Viet Nam, ToolTec Viet Nam, SubCon Viet Nam and Automation Viet Nam, she said.
The exhibition would help domestic businesses promote their products and build new partnerships. It would also provide an ideal platform for these companies and visitors to achieve a sound understanding of the manufacturing industry in Viet Nam.
William Lim, project director of MTA Viet Nam 2011 said this year's exhibiton would feature over 300 exhibitors from 27 countries and territories. There will be 11 group pavilions from mainland China, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and United Kingdom.
Some of the major companies exhibiting at MTA Viet Nam 2011 include Amada, Blum, Bystronic, Campro, Carl Zeiss, Chin Fong, Guehring, Heidenhain, Jainnher, Mitsubishi Electric, Mazak, Renishaw, Nikon and Mitutoyo.
An exhibitor, Isamu Aono, general director of Yamazen said: "As Viet Nam's largest manufacturing solutions event, MTA Viet Nam allows us to promote and gain more visibility for our products."
A two-day conference would be held alongside the exhibition. It would provide a platform to network with businesses, industry professionals and discuss the latest developments taking place in the manufacturing sector.
According to the Ministry of Planning and Investment, Viet Nam's manufacturing industry has been experiencing steady growth with the sector ranking second last year in terms of attracting Foreign Direct Investment.
This marked a step up from the third rank in 2009 with a 127 per cent increase in registered capital.
With the country's manufacturing sector progressing as a result of Government encouragement, World Trade Organisation commitments and industrial liberalisation, the country is set to become one of Southeast Asia's major manufacturing hubs.
MTA Viet Nam 2011 is organised by the VCCI Exhibition Service Ltd Co in collaboration with Singapore Exhibition Services Pte Ltd.
