MTA VIETNAM2013 elevates local technical know-how

This is the message Mr. Nguyen Quan, Minister, Ministry for Science and Technology, had for manufacturing industry professionals that gathered for the opening ceremony of MTA VIETNAM2013 on Tuesday last week.

After four successful show days, it is evident that MTA VIETNAM has held up its reputation as the country’s premier trade show and largest display of machining tools and metal forming machinery in Vietnam. This year saw a record number of more than 12,000 attendees comprising trade visitors, exhibiting staff, seminar speakers and delegates, competition participants and members of the press gathered at the Saigon Exhibition & Convention Centre (SECC) for the 11^th edition of the show from 2 – 5 July.

The Local Industry Levels up

The manufacturing sector plays a pivotal role in the progress and development of Vietnam’s economy. The influx of foreign-owned manufacturing conglomerates setting up production bases in Vietnam has created new demand throughout the entire manufacturing value chain. Smaller firms wanting to keep up with the fast developing industry, and local support services looking to join the global supply chain are taking ready steps to level-up their capabilities.

“Vietnam’s mechanical and production engineering capabilities have increased significantly over the last few years. Local manufacturing firms moving up the value chain and competing globally have created consistent, growing demand for new machines tools and equipment in Vietnam. MTA VIETNAM with its large percentage of international exhibitors, is the ideal platform for technology sourcing,” said Mr. Tee Boon Teong, Deputy Chief Representative, Singapore Exhibition Services’ Representative Office in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, organiser of MTA VIETNAM2013.
