AUTOMOTIVE TRADE FAIR MARCH 25-28
KUALA LUMPUR, March 24 (Bernama) -- Automechanika Malaysia, the biennial
international trade fair for automotive parts, equipment and service suppliers
is expected to be a timely support for industry players amid the current
economic situation, said Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation
(MATRADE) deputy chief executive officer, Mohamad Kamarudin Hassan.
MATRADE will be organising an Incoming Buying Mission (IBM) involving 35
prospective buyers from abroad to participate in the fair to be held from March
25 to 28 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) here.
"A series of 345 meetings have been scheduled between these foreign buyers
with more than 60 local companies to generate interest among them," said
Kamarudin.
He added that most of the industry players had felt the effects of the
current economic situation and the fair will be timely as it would give the
industry players the opportunity to share information and create new business
deals.
Last year, the automotive parts sector had generated about RM2 billion
(US$551.57 million) in revenue from exports, an increase of five percent
compared to 2007.
The fair, organised by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd in collaboration with
MATRADE, will bring together over 130 exhibitors from the automotive parts and
repair equipment industry from 14 countries including China, France, Germany,
Korea, Singapore, and Malaysia.
"By organising this fair, we aim to establish a platform for the industry to
share key information and to create a healthy competition environment among the
players involved," said Messe Frankfurt (Shanghai) Co Ltd general manager Jason
Cao.
In conjunction with the fair, the Federation of Automobile Workshop Owners'
Association of Malaysia (FAWOAM) will also hold its annual convention at the
venue.
About 5,000 trade visitors including 35 percent international visitors
are expected to participate in the 4-day event.
