HCM CITY (Biz Hub)— The number of local companies taking part this year in the country's largest manufacturing-solutions event has doubled to 67 since its first event held in 2005.
The four-day MTA Viet Nam 2013 opened yesterday with five sections focusing on meteorology, tool technology, subcontracting, automation and welding technology.
Tee Boon Teong, of the Singapore Exhibition Services' office in HCM City, said the demand for tools had grown alongside the growth of the manufacturing industry in Viet Nam.
"This creates a market for local representatives of international brands as they benefit from exposure to buyers from local firms well as international companies that have local operations," he said.
"This is a healthy reflection of Viet Nam's growing capabilities in manufacturing," he added.
Phan Thi My Dung, acting director of VCCI Exhibition Services, said the event featured 341 exhibitors from 21 countries and regions and 11 international pavilions, including exhibitors from Japan, France, Germany, Italy, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand and Taiwan.
A wide variety of quality products and solutions in precision engineering, machine tools and metalworking are being showcased.
First-time local exhibitors are showcasing a variety of manufacturing solutions, from laser machines and measurement devices to welding equipment.
Some of the newcomers are ITO Viet Nam Co, Welding Technology and Equipment Co and Viet Nam Precision Industrial Joint Stock Co.
A series of seminars by industry leaders is also being held. Viet Nam's welding technology will also be featured, and topics such as productivity, quality, management, design and machining will be discussed.
MTA Viet Nam 2013 was organised by the Singapore Exhibition Services in collaboration with VCCI Exhibition Service Co at the Sai Gon Exhibition and Convention Centre. It will end on Friday.—VNS
