GLOBAL — MTA2015, Asia’s premier precision engineering industry event, will return from 14 to 17 April 2015 at the Singapore Expo. With its hallmark showcase of high-value manufacturing capabilities, MTA2015 will highlight manufacturing excellence in industries such as Aerospace, Complex Equipment, Electronics, Medical Technology and Oil & Gas / Marine & Offshore Engineering.
According to a report released by Deloitte Global, the Philippines is poised to be one of the region’s growth leaders1. Industry players and analysts have recently expressed confidence that given the right set of tools and efficient workflows, Philippine manufacturers would be more successful and competitive here and abroad.
Furthermore, The Philippine Manufacturing Industry Roadmap highlights the long-term vision of the industry to develop a globally competitive manufacturing industry supported by strong backward and forward linkages with both domestic and global supply chains. The goal is for the manufacturing industry contribution to the economy to account for 30 percent of total value added and generate 15 percent of total employment.
MTA2015 will provide Philippine manufacturing players access to the latest precision engineering and machine tool technologies available in the global market. The event is expected to showcase more than 330 exhibitors from 27 countries/regions.
“Manufacturing in the Asian region is no longer simply supplying the labour to make many of the products we use today. It has evolved with technological advances and manufacturers and suppliers are now looking at how to create and add value to their manufacturing processes,” says Mr. William Lim, Project Director at Singapore Exhibition Services, organiser of MTA2015.
“MTA has been moving in tandem with industry trends and the addition of new feature areas will not only provide a premier sourcing platform of the latest state-of-the-art precision engineering technologies and solutions, it will also create a comprehensive and holistic experience for attendees,” he adds.
Aside from the event’s Capabilities Hub which has drawn strong interest from trade visitors in the past, MTA2015 will also highlight 3D printing technologies. 3D Printing Technology Tours will be staged to offer attendees an exclusive opportunity to witness the amazing applications from brands such as 3D Systems, ARCAM, EnvisionTEC, Renishaw and Stratasys.
