Organised by UBM Asia (part of Informa plc), Metaltech 2019 (www.metaltech.com.my) will this year celebrate 25 years as the longest-established and largest event for metal-working machinery, robotics and automation in Malaysia.

The 2019 exhibition will take place from 15 to 18 May at the new Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC) in Kuala Lumpur, which offers ‘state of the art’ facilities and an expanded exhibition space, plus meeting rooms and a business match-making programme.

For 25 years, Metaltech has pioneered the growth of metal-working machinery, robotics and automation in Malaysia.

This year’s event will showcase various industrial sectors, including sheet metal technology, mould and die, precision engineering, surface and heat treatment, material handling and storage, welding, robotics and metallurgy.

Metaltech 2019 will be co-located with the 12th edition of Automex, which focuses on automation and technology and is expected to attract around 20,000 visitors.

The two shows together will feature over 1,500 international and local companies covering over 20,902m² of exhibition place, with companies such as Bystronic, Amada, Makino Machine Tools, Numac Machinery, Lung Kee Metal, Hexagon Measurement Technologies, Monitor Erp System, Magma Engineering and Mitsubishi Electric.

Metaltech is part of a portfolio of machine tool events organised in South East Asia by UBM.

"It continues to attract quality exhibitors from Malaysia and overseas, plus a high calibre of trade buyers.”
