Successful wire & Tube Southeast Asia 2015 Trade Fairs

After three days of strong activities on the show floor, wire Southeast ASIA 2015, the 11th International Wire and Cable Trade Fair for Southeast Asia and Tube Southeast ASIA 2015, the 10th International Tube and Pipe Trade Fair for Southeast Asia, came to successful close in Bangkok: 411 international companies from 33 countries, including seven national group exhibits from Austria, China, Germany, Italy, Taiwan, the UK and the U.S. showcased their latest technologies to 7,144 international trade visitors from 56 countries. With almost 33% of these visitors coming from outside Thailand - from countries such as Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Indonesia, Myanmar and Pakistan - as well as visiting delegations from China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam, wire and Tube Southeast ASIA 2015 confirmed their status as the regional platform for the wire and tube industries.

The formation of the single-economy ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) at the end of this year together with the start of Thailand's Infrastructure Development Plan – which includes massive transformation to the country's overall national infrastructure from 2015 to 2022 – will result in robust business opportunities for the wire and tube industries in the coming years. "The staging of the synergistic trade fairs comes at a timely juncture, presenting itself as a valuable platform to promote better understanding and business connections between Thailand, the region and the international community for mutual benefit," stated Gernot Ringling, Managing Director of Messe Düsseldorf Asia.

Exhibitors at wire and Tube Southeast ASIA 2015 were pleased with their participation. According to Christian Schalich, Area Sales Manager for SIKORA AG: "Our main objective for participating is to showcase our latest machinery to customers from the region. At the trade fair, we were able to accomplish this and at the same time explain the advanced technologies of our machines while the customers test them. Having talked with more visitors than two years ago, I am pleased that we have met our objective fully and will surely be back in 2017."

Wang Fei, Corporate Program Manager at China Petroleum Technology & Development Corporation agrees and mentioned that they met with clients from India, Bangladesh, Thailand and Indonesia: "Through onsite discussions, we learned about the purchasing requirements and products that are of interest to our regional clientele and got a better grasp of the region's market trends, which will be helpful for the future planning of our business."
