TIMTOS addresses customers target needs

It's these types of spontaneous meetings that cannot be duplicated in any other setting.

The TIMTOS Procurement Meetings automatically compares the interests of visitors and exhibitors. It allows them to contact one another before the fair begins and make appointments to discuss concrete topics. It can also mean bringing people together to share the future. That is exactly what TIMTOS Procurement Meetings does at the supplier and customer level.

You wouldn't think that TIMTOS has been taking place for the past 26 years. The highlights at meetings are the productive conversations with international visitors and the in-depth discussions with exhibitors from the machine tool industry. Customers enjoyed excellent discussions with suppliers in an inspiring atmosphere.

One buyer is Anatoliy Rudenko from ROSMARK-STEEL in Russia. This is his second time to visit TIMTOS. He is looking for band sawing machinery, water jet cutting machinery, length of tables 15-18m. Anatoliy hopes to find companies that can help him. As he needed to find a reliable source of machines. He said that TIMTOS is an outstanding platform for cultivating and furthering business relations.

TORMACH LLC, a manufacturer of grinding and milling machines, came to TIMTOS for the first time to look for workholders, machine vises, modular cutting tools, and CNC machinery. The company hopes to meet Taiwanese suppliers who can provide his needs.

TIMTOS only happens every other year, and though it has always stayed close to its Taiwan machine tool roots, it is very much a global event. It geared at what could be generalized as the beginning of the supply chain; the focus is on machinery, tools, systems, and applications. The finished products being showcased are generally focused on industrial manufacturing and related sectors of the supply chain.

TIMTOS Procurement Meetings attracted over 100 Taiwan suppliers and 37 buyers from 17 countries, for a very intense and highly productive event. It is here that the decision makers, developers, and buyers, all in attendance and with the objective of getting business done, negotiate major supply contracts.

The good balance of new and existing customers at the fair has enabled TIMTOS to open up new business areas. Due to the specialization of the halls, the show has succeeded in optimally presenting a broad portfolio to the target group.

So, was TIMTOS, with all the planning and preparation, travel and expense, worthwhile? Everyone believed it was, and they plan on making the trek back to Taipei in 2019.
