Trade show success in Thailand
Singapore-based Messe Düsseldorf Asia celebrated a highly successful wire
and Tube Southeast ASIA 2009, arguably the region’s most successful wire,
cable, tube and pipe platform.
The trade fairs closed on an optimistic note, having attracted around 5,000
high calibre trade visitors and buyers from 57 countries and economies.
Approximately 30% of the visitors came from outside Thailand.
ASEAN visitors, including Thailand, accounted for about 85% of the total visitor
attendance, suggesting that ASEAN buyers increasingly view Thailand as a hub
for trade and commerce and a gateway for distribution. A significant number of
visitors came from China, India, Japan, South Korea and the Middle East.
The joint trade fairs attracted 305 exhibiting companies from 30 countries.
Joachim Schaefer, managing director of Messe Düsseldorf GmbH, commented,
“Despite the global economic downturn, many companies have not lost sight of
their intent to penetrate the regional markets of Asia, in particular the southeast
Asian region, which is perceived by many as the land of opportunities.”
Gernot Ringling, managing director of the Singapore-based Messe Düsseldorf
Asia said, “wire and Tube Southeast ASIA are regarded by the industry as
southeast Asia’s leading procurement ground for the latest manufacturing
equipment and technology for the wire, cable, tube and pipe industries.
“Both the trade fairs have consistently addressed the rising demand by cutting
edge manufacturers for effective and efficient solutions. We are pleased with the
quality turnout.”
Despite the challenging times, many exhibitors reported a high level of visitor
interest in technological solutions, as well as brisk business from both local and
overseas buyers.
wire and Tube Southeast ASIA will return to Bangkok in autumn 2011.
