METALTECH 2016 to debut innovative business matching program

Continuing strongly in spite of the economic downturn and a weakened Ringgit, METALTECH, Malaysia’s premier exhibition for the metalworking and machine tool industries, has announced an exciting new approach for its 22nd edition this year.

The exhibition, which will be held from the 25-28 of May at Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC), will feature over 1,800 exhibitors from a total of 38 countries worldwide within a grand 35,000sqm space, with over 27,000 local and international visitors expected throughout the four day event.

To provide value to those in attendance, organiser Trade Link ITE Sdn. Bhd. has announced the debut of a new business matching programme that will premiere during the exhibition. The service will profile attending companies and pre-arrange meetings with exhibitors who supply technology in fields relevant to their immediate and medium term needs.

Said Dato’ Albert Lai, Chairman of Trade Link ITE: “Malaysian manufacturers are more discerning than ever. They have greater access to suppliers from across the globe and when they come to an exhibition they want to make sure that they can meet companies who can help them on their path to growth.”

“Helping to build these connections is our core purpose as the provider of the METALTECH platform and our new business matching programme is just the newest way that we are achieving this objective”.

Aside from the new service, METALTECH 2016 will continue to operate a calendar of networking events bringing together suppliers, buyers and influential government officials, and will also be the site for various new product launches, on which specific information will be disclosed at a later date.

With a particularly strong presence expected from ASEAN countries, trade buyers at METALTECH can expect to see technology catering to a multitude of industries including aerospace, automotive, marine/offshore, metalworking, energy, electrical and electronics, and medical.

Also featuring during METALTECH will be the 9th Automation Technology Exhibition (AUTOMEX), which covers all aspects of automotive technology from complete systems to integrated automation solutions. The Welding Technology Exhibition 2016 (WELDTEK) and the Malaysia International Robotics and Automation Technology Exhibition (IATECH) will also be displaying specialist wares during the four-day period.
