Having successfully organised two virtual exhibitions during 2020 and 2021 to meet the needs of the industry during the pandemic, global exhibition organiser Informa Markets will be bringing back METALTECH AND AUTOMEX in an all-new hybrid format, which infuses digital elements that have proven successful at generating business opportunities for exhibitors and visitors alike.

At the same time, an estimated 15,000 targeted trade visitors from 45 countries and regions are expected to visit MITEC over the exhibitions’ four-day run.
The organiser also noted there has been a robust participation from Taiwan region, which is globally recognised as a leader in precision manufacturing. Under a programme organised by the Precision Machinery Research and Development Center (PMC), five Taiwanese companies will participate in hybrid technological product launch and business matching activities at METALTECH, namely Detron Machine, Earth-Chain Enterprise, Jainnher Machine, Shieh Yih Machinery Industry and Shin-Yain Industrial.

“METALTECH and AUTOMEX are returning at a great time for the industry, with the national economy showing encouraging signs of growth following the reopening of all business sectors earlier this year. With our evolution into an innovative physical plus virtual hybrid exhibition in 2022, we are pleased to be providing an even wider range of meaningful networking and business matching opportunities for all attendees,” said Gerard Leeuwenburgh, country general manager of Informa Markets in Malaysia.
The two concurrent exhibitions will take place across three halls, each of which will showcase exhibitors from key industry sector profiles, namely machine tools and sheet metal technology, industrial hardware & supplies, robotics & automation and precision metrology. A separate area will be dedicated to virtual networking and digital business matching sessions.
Regular business matching sessions will also be held during the event, offering both exhibitors and buyers a chance to conduct face-to-face meetings with prospective business partners. Alongside the exhibition activities, METALTECH will feature a series of industry seminars and talks that will provide attendees with valuable insights into the latest industry developments.
