GIFA and METEC Southeast Asia

PostShowRepo
rtrecorded outstanding inaugural success!
The newly launched Southeast Asian editions of GIFA andMETEC Southeast Asia exceeded expectations at its firststaging in 2022, hosting close to 6,000 industry professionals
both from the supplier and customer ends. Augmenting wire andTube Southeast Asia’s show floor to deliver broader offerings ofmetal products and technologies serving the foundry, casting,metallurgy and larger metal working sectors supplying to various
application industries, the synergistic trade fairs brought back the
much-missed direct face-to-face interactions to explore new
business and reconnect with leading market players.

“The collaboration with Messe Düsseldorf Asia on the first editionsof GIFA and METEC SOUTHEAST ASIA is a great way to reallyelevate the standing of Thai companies in the foundry and casting
business, the Association and our members, but more importantly,
shows the synergies that can happen when we are open to work
together and collaborate on new ideas. We look forward to ourcontinued partnership and perhaps putting together an even bigger
Thai pavilion next year to showcase the best Thai innovations andfor local companies to learn and exchange knowledge with some of
the best in the industry.”

“I’m very very delighted and I have to compliment the entire team forwonderful being done to get all these visitors here, to set up show,
which looks great. So it’s a bit smaller but in light of the conditions
now in the restart period after covid, this is more than just fine, thisis really outstanding. I have walked the show floor this morning andyou see only smiling faces and happy attendees and delighted
exhibitors.”
Wolfram Diener
President & CEO, Messe Düsseldorf GmbH“The strong showing of international exhibitors – more than 85
percent in fact – is also testament that the global community iseager to meet in-person and get back to business. This strong
presence also emphasises the importance and relevance ofThailand and Southeast Asia. Seeing the show floor come alive after
three years, has been a vivid reminder of what the business
community has missed these last few years.”Gernot Ringling
Managing Director, Messe Düsseldorf Asia
