The trade show will run from July 2-5 at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Centre, featuring 11 international group pavilions from eight countries and regions together with world class machine tool brands from Britain, Germany,  Italy, Japan, Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan and the US.

With the presence of more than 60 Taiwanese firms, the event will unveil its biggest ever showcase of Taiwanese machine tools and metal working equipment. The Taiwanese showcase will be housed under the umbrella of three group pavilions organised by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (Taitra), the Taiwan Machine Tool & Accessory Builders’ Association (TMBA), and the Taiwan Fluid Power Association (TFPA).

Taitra, who has exhibited at MTA Vietnam since the event was established in 2005, has arranged for 22 leading Taiwanese machine tool brands to showcase a series of Taiwan award winning products.

TMBA, joining for the seventh time, will be bringing more than 30 companies to display a wide selection of the latest made-in-Taiwan technologies and solutions. Exhibiting for the first time is TFPA, which will be represented by 14 of its companies.

“As one of the leading producers of industrial machinery, we are glad to see a growing presence of Taiwanese firms at MTA Vietnam. They bring with them a wide array of solutions that can be applied to the numerous manufacturing sectors in Vietnam. Their competitive edge in terms of quality and cost effectiveness makes them an ideal choice for local Vietnamese manufacturers,” said William Lim, project director for MTA Vietnam from the show’s organiser, Singapore Exhibition Services.

Taiwan ranks third in the world’s machine tool exports industry, behind only to Germany and Japan, with exports reaching $4.2 billion in 2012, up 5.9 per cent year on year, according to him. Machine tools are now Taiwan’s biggest machinery category, with around 75 per cent of production volume exported to regions such as China, the European Union, ASEAN nations and the US.

MTA Vietnam is co-organised by Vietnamese company VCCI Exhibition Service.
