Countries Still Being Optimistic About Vietnamese Metal Processing Market
Metalex Vietnam is an annual exhibition for precision engineering and manufacturing professionals on metal processing and related equipment applications, and is the more representative exhibition for precision machinery, metal tools and equipment in the South Vietnam region, which was held from October 2 to 4 at S.E.C.C. in Ho Chi Minh City. The theme of the show this year was “FROM LINES TO CYCLE - BUIDLING A CARBON NEUTRAL MANUFACTURING LEGACY”, hoping to offer a one-stop destination for all world-class technology providers and local industrialists to exchange breakthrough ideas and business know-how.
The show this year had a total of 188 exhibitors from 14 countries/regions including Vietnam, China, Japan, Germany, Taiwan, South Korea, Italy, Afghanistan, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and USA. Vietnam, China, Japan and Germany were the major groups of exhibitors. The products on display were mostly about sheet metal working, precision engineering, molds and dies, automation, machine centers, robotic, metrology & testing device, pumps and valves, raw materials handling & storage, welding, surface treatment, painting, chemical, packaging, hand tools, safety equipment, software systems, wires and tubes, jigs, and so on.
The show this year presented lots of latest high-tech precision engineering and machining technologies, attracting many relevant professionals. According to the observation of our staff on-site, who interacted with some visitors during the 3-day exhibition, this year's visitors were mostly importers and manufacturers from the field of precision metal processing parts, engineering fastening components, and machine tools, whose demand for these products mainly focused on satisfying the local manufacturing industry of Vietnam. Fastener World’s booth was also visited by the purchasing representatives of some leading fastener-related companies such as Böllhoff.
According to statistics, Vietnam relies on imports for more than 70% of its machinery and equipment, and is now the world's 8th largest importer of machine tools. Benefiting from the growth of Vietnam's automobile/motorcycle and consumer electronics manufacturing industries, Vietnam is also a very important export partner for Taiwan's machine tools. Vietnam Association of Mechanical Industries (VAMI) estimates that, from 2019 to 2030 the market demand for machinery will reach about US$310 billion.
The organizer has not yet announced the date and venue for the next edition. For more information, please stay tuned to Fastener World’s website at www.fastener-world.com.
