Davao City welcomes biggest manufacturing technology expo

MANILA, Philippines- For the 5th year, Mindanao opens Manufacturing Technology Davao 2011, the biggest and most comprehensive machinery and technology show in the region on May 26-28 at the Convention Hall of the Bangko Central ng Pilipinas, Davao City. Organized by the Global-Link MP Events International Inc., the show is set to attract thousands of trade buyers from various allied industries.

MTD is more than just an expo. For companies looking for a one-stop to source all their manufacturing and technology needs – this is the place to be, Patrick-Lawrence Tan, CEO Global-Link MP said.

“Fresh from the success of last year’s run, it was an easy decision to reprise Manufacturing Technology Davao,” remarked Tan. The event is one of the most trusted and longest running trade shows in Manila. Because of the warm reception we received last year, we are proud to organize a bigger and better exhibition and business conference once again,” he added.

Last year over 4,400 visitors and buyers flocked the displays of 67 exhibiting companies. The show proved to be an ideal venue to conduct business transactions in a national and international capacity as exhibitors collectively reported on-site sales worth over P22.9 million. The 2011 edition is anticipated to surpass its previous achievements.

“Davao is a new market for many exhibitors, and I’m confident that they will find plenty of business opportunities at one of the fastest growing economies in the country,” Tan said.

Global-Link MP has tied up with the Printing Industry Association of Davao Inc. (PIADI), Philippine Center for Print Excellence (PCPE) and the Philippine Printing Technical Foundation Inc. (PPTF), together with top printing companies headlining programs such as Fault and Remedy for Press by Heidelberg Philippines, Rubber Rollers Technology by Hicor Manufacturing as well as a whole day program covering rollers, inks, pre-press and instrumentation by Ideal Marketing and Manufacturing and its international suppliers.

“We are on constant quest to improve ourselves,” stated PIADI president Eladio Aviola. “By organizing these technical seminars, the knowledge gained benefits the entire country’s printing industry, not just the printers in Davao.”

Manufacturing Technology Davao 2011 will include sub-shows: T.O.P.S. Davao – Total Office Products Show, Woodmach Davao – Woodworking & Furniture Making Technology, and the Davao Food Expo – Food & Food Processing and Packaging Technology.
