More recently, according to a General Statistics Office report, the manufacturing sector in Vietnam

experienced growth rates of about 10 per cent. Based on the national Index of Industrial Production

(IIP), Hanoi grew 12.5 per cent between January to October 2011 compared with the same period

last yearvi.

     “It is timely to stage the next edition of MTA in Hanoi as reports have shown that Vietnam’s

manufacturing industry has been growing at a steady pace, and it is encouraging to witness similar

progress in Hanoi as well. Demand for the latest manufacturing technologies and solutions from

international companies is evident, and MTA HANOI 2012 will give these companies and the local

manufacturing sectors a tremendous boost by matching them with the latest products, solutions and

technologies in precision engineering, machine tools and metalworking,” said Mr. William Lim, Project

Director (Machinery Events), Singapore Exhibition Services (SES).

     The companies at MTA HANOI 2012 will showcase international technologies on the exhibition floor

which include metal-cutting machine tools, metal-forming machine tools, test & measurement

equipment & systems, cutting tools, tooling systems, and industrial tools & components.

     There will also be ample opportunities for local industry players to connect face-to-face and network

with both international and home-grown reputable exhibitors offering the latest solutions for Hanoi’s

blooming manufacturing sector.
