As a returning exhibitor, Amada occupies the largest booth at the show, three times of its size in 2009.

The Japanese corporation opened its office and technical center in Hanoi in May, aiming to improve its services in Vietnam.

Meanwhile, Isamu Aono, general director another Japanese exhibitor, Yamazen, said, “Vietnam is an important market for Yamazen. This year, we have reorganized our two existing local offices in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, and established a local corporation in the latter. By doing this, we aim to expand our presence in the Vietnamese market by strengthening our company’s sales functions.”

He added, “As Vietnam’s largest manufacturing solutions event, this MTA allows us to promote and gain more visibility for our products.”
