A Manufacturing Event That Brings Together Six Major Industries Into One

From July 19th to 22nd, a significant international manufacturing show was held at Bangkok International Trade & Exhibition Centre (BITEC). This show was large and included six areas including auto parts, surface treatment, electronics, robots/automation, facility management, mold making, and plastics, to create the most comprehensive manufacturing and peripheral industry show in Southeast Asia.

A major feature of this show is having pavilions for many countries including China, Singapore, Germany, Taiwan, and Japan. The visual design of each pavilion showed the exhibitors came prepared in a form of unified allies. In addition to local Thai exhibitors, this show gathered a large number of Chinese exhibitors, exceeding the number of other foreign exhibitors. The foreign countries with the second largest number of exhibitors were Japan and Germany. Among the exhibitors, many were manufacturers of medium and large automotive parts. Among the exhibitors that provided fasteners as part of the product line, most were Chinese companies, and additionally there was a South Korean automotive fastener manufacturer. In terms of hardware and washers, there were several exhibitors from China, Thailand and Singapore. In terms of fastener-related peripheral products, there were several Japanese screw feeder manufacturers, as well as several Japanese fastener surface treatment companies.

It is worth noting that in the Taiwan pavilion, many Taiwanese hand tool manufacturers came to exhibit, including well-known manufacturers such as Mobiletron and Proxene. The exhibitors also included hand tool traders and distributors from Japan and Thailand. In addition, many Japanese exhibitors in this show participated in the name of their branches established in Thailand.

Most of the visitors who came to Fastener World’s booth for the latest publications were looking for electronic screws, standard screws, customized screws, hexagonal bolts, automotive bolts, washers, and springs. A Japanese trader representative revealed that his company used to solely import fasteners into Thailand from many Japanese suppliers via the branches in Thailand.

However, price considerations have rendered them to begin looking for other suppliers from Asia (including Taiwan) and Southeast Asia this year. In addition, a well-known German fastener developer is about to set up a factory in Thailand and is looking for high-quality fastener suppliers in Asia. Fastener World did its best part to introduce suitable suppliers in the publications to these representatives and other visitors.

The next show will be held again at the same location from June 18 to 21, 2025, and is expected to continue this year's achievements.
