HA NOI (Biz Hub) — Advanced precision engineering and manufacturing technologies from the Czech Republic, Singapore and Taiwan (China) are on display at an exhibition that opened in Ha Noi yesterday.

Organisers said that the 3rd International Precision Engineering, Machine Tools and Metalworking Exhibition (MTA Ha Noi 2014) is a "leading event" that serves the supporting industry in the north of Viet Nam and surrounding regions.

They said that at this year's event, exhibitors from the previous two exhibitions have expanded their pavilions to showcase more solutions that will help increase productivity and spur development of supporting industries.

MTA Ha Noi 2014 has the latest cutting, moulding and tooling systems, metrology machines and hand tools, among many other engineering advances.

William Lim, Project Director for MTA, said the three-day event was of great value because it would help businesses in the region see and apply latest production technologies.

Oshima Masayu, director general of Japanese firm Kamogawa, said his company had been working in Viet Nam in the last eight years and wished to expand its client network.

His company saw MTA Ha Noi was an ideal venue to access the northern Viet Nam market.

The event includes seminars on several issues pertinent to support industries as well as a welding competition, organisers said. — VNS
