Mr Chainarong Limpkittisin, Managing Director, Reed Tradex Company said that industrial and electronics manufacturing can be faster with high precision and cost efficiency. All manufacturers can make products with more order value with the right technologies, the right knowledge, and the right people in one place.
METALEX Vietnam, Vietnam’s International Exhibition on Machine Tools & Metalworking Solutions for Production Upgrade is all about technologies: Cutting, Drilling, Machining, Lathe, Milling, Grinding, Welding, Folding, Press Brake, Punching, Section Bending Machine. Visitors will profit from the exhibition. They will see the right machinery and solutions for their production upgrading. They can sell their parts to 50 Japanese buyers and manufacturers, become representative of global brands and learn new knowledge in Seminars and Technology Presentations like “Engineers Day,” “Upgrading Your Production,” “Sourcing Procedure,” and “New Mechanical Engineering Knowledge for Production Line”.
For NEPCON Vietnam, Vietnam’s exhibition on SMT & Testing Technologies and Supporting Industries for Electronics Manufacturing is the only networking event for the community (from tier 1, PCBA, component makers, to agents, assemblers), the only centre of industry knowledge, covering technology trends & sourcing procedure. Vietnamese manufacturers can source new technologies and disposable products from 200 leading brands.
Specially, JETRO of HCMC will participate in 'METALEX Vietnam for the second time. Over 100 local suppliers and Japanese manufacturing firms mainly in automobile, motorcycle and electronics parts manufacturing industries will look for business opportunities at the exhibition. Up to 50 Japanese companies expect to purchase parts and accessories in Vietnam and 50 Vietnamese companies expect to provide parts and accessories. Japanese companies will exhibit parts which they want to purchase; we call this style of exhibit as “Reverse Exhibition”. The combination will create an all-under-one-roof meeting centre for the manufacturing community. Buyers and sellers meet, exchange knowledge and ideas, discover technologies, and develop business networks.
The coming together of the three important shows will both offer local parts makers a chance to meet new buyers while keeping abreast of the latest manufacturing innovations and for overseas investors to meet the right suppliers while reducing the needs to import parts.
Mr Hiromi Goto, Assistant Manager, Sales Department of Sodick (Thailand) Co., Ltd. said that Sodick (Thailand) Co., Ltd., Japan’s leading manufacturer and provider of injection and CNC machines with branches in many countries has regarded the growth of ASEAN positively with a plan to actively promote new products and services in Vietnam and other countries in the region. “Vietnam is now the centre of attention for Japanese investors due to its high potential. After having introduced our brand in Vietnam six years ago, Sodick is now looking forward to increasing our brand presence through product development and our showroom establishment here. Exhibiting at METALEX Vietnam is one of the ways in which we plan to promote our brand, as well as showing off the latest machines with high speed and precision, the latest EDM Wire Cut VZ300L that would help manufacturers reduce cost with more efficiency.”
Mr Khajorn Phongnarin, Managing Director of ATOTECH Vietnam Co., Ltd said that Atotech was located in HCMC in 2004, then the 2nd one in Hanoi in 2006, and official established as Atotech VN in 2008. As the fifth largest chemical company, Total holds leading positions in Europe and throughout the world in each of the following markets: Petrochemicals, Fertilizers, Specialty Chemicals for consumer as well as industrial markets. Being part of the chemical branch of the oil and gas group Total, Atotech has access to substantial resources and benefits from production, R&D and distribution synergies within this major company.
The mission of Atotech Vietnam is to ensure that Atotech's worldwide customers will enjoy the same highest One Atotech Standard for their plants and operations in Vietnam. We're committed to providing the best Atotech Products, Processes and Service to the General Metal Finishing (GMF) and Printed Circuit Board (PCB) manufacturing industries in Vietnam. The rating of these 2 sections is 60 percent and 40 percent, but we expect to balance them as 50-50 in a near future.
Vietnam is now a high potential, developing country. Since Vietnam joined the WTO at the end of 2006, the country has become a very attractive destination for many large companies from Japan, Korea, Taiwan, etc. to set up their factories. This will bring more opportunities for Vietnam to update and improve their knowledge and technologies. Vietnamese manufacturers have the chance to export their products to other countries, in return, their competitors from other countries will also come in Vietnam, that means Vietnam manufacturers have to improve themselves, update knowledge and technologies, and improve their products’ quality. In a market where most products have the same price, manufacturers who provide the best technology and best quality will be the winners.
Besides, Vietnam has the potential market. We can see that industrial zones develop more and more in Vietnam nowadays. That means foreign manufacturers now pay attention more in Vietnam. In the process of changing itself into a developing country, Vietnam has to balance knowledge and skill of labour.

METALEX Vietnam, Vietnam’s most comprehensive machine tools and metalworking technology exhibition, and NEPCON Vietnam, Vietnam’s only exhibition on assembly, measurement and testing technologies for electronics manufacturing will be held during 4-6 October 2012 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Mr Taveesak Srisuntisuk, Managing Director of Hexagon Metrology (Thailand) Ltd, an importer and distributor of measurement technologies from Sweden, including over 10 leading metrology brands such as DEA, Brown & Sharpe, Leitz, Leica, ROMER, and Cognitens, for automotive parts manufacturing and so on, revealed that, currently, automotive parts manufacturers in Thailand pay more attention to the enhancement of production efficiency in response to growing demand for export. As a result, metrology tools and equipment have become more necessary, particularly in the automotive industry where production output for export has continuously increased. Therefore, the process of parts manufacturing need to have high precision. Consequently, the market’s growth rate rises 20 percent annually.
In 2012, to continually expand the Vietnamese market, Hexagon will exhibit metrology technologies at METALEX Vietnam. Amidst the highly competitive business environment, industrial manufacturers have to produce high-standard and high-accuracy products to serve customers’ needs. The precision measurement is essential for the manufacturing industry, and each industry, such as the automotive and electronic industries, needs different measurement systems. Hence, Hexagon will bring a Coordinate Measuring Machine, ARM model, for precision measurement to exhibit at METALEX Vietnam 2012 to better serve the Vietnamese manufacturers’ requirement.
“Vietnamese industry has attracted many international investors and has a high growth potential. Therefore, the Vietnamese government should promote Vietnamese industry in terms of technologies and human resources,” Mr Taveesak said.
