66 Wire & Cable ASIA – March/April 2007
Industry veterans will share their
insights with local and overseas
counterparts on the topic of
‘Sustainable Development of Asian
Mould and Die Industry’.
In addition, technological advances
will be introduced through a series
of seminars at the same venue,
making the event a one-stop
platform for business networking,
market information and cutting-edge
technology sourcing.
In 2005, Mould and Die Asia attracted
13,000 buyers from 41 countries and
regions.
59% of the buyers were from
manufacturing industries and 18% from
the mould and die making industry.
Executive management, production
management and purchasing person-
nel formed 61% of the buyers.
Proved by these achievements, the
organisers believe that the 2007
event will enlarge its scale and
increase the number of visitors to
more than 20,000.

by Business and Industrial Trade
Fairs Ltd and Genertec International
