Malaysian Exhibitors Make Strong Pitch At Hannover
Industrial Fair
Hannover,
April 11 (Bernama) -- A group of 13 Malaysian companies are making a strong
pitch at the ongoing Hannover Industrial Fair in Germany.
The companies are showcasing their products in two
separate groups.
Ten
of the companies are exhibiting products and services under the aegis of the
Malaysia External Trade Development Corp (Matrade) and the rest are with the
Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM).
The industrial show from April 8-12 here is a global
attraction with Russia being presented this time as a "partner
country".
The
event is also described as a "one-stop-sourcing-point" by many Asian
suppliers.

Ren Howe, managing director of Penang-based Rehon Industries Sdn Bhd, which
offers precision metal stamping services, is trying to get a firm foothold in
the global export market.
"About 10 per cent of our exports are destined
for Germany, the United States and Japan. We are keen now to expand our
market," he told Bernama at the Fair.
Mahesh Sambamoorthy, the business director of
Controller Area Network Solutions (M) Sdn Bhd from Puchong (Selangor), said his
company is a first time exhibitor in Hannover.
The
company provides services in the field of industrial controls and automation to
a range of industrial plants.
"Hannover
offers us a good platform to present our products to a discerning international
clientele. We have received some good business enquiries from Sweden and
India," he added.
Jecmetal
Industries Sdn Bhd of Muar is another exhibitor at the Hannover Industrial
Fair.The company supplies a broad range of machinery parts to a variety of
industries, including oil and gas and aerospace.
Its general manager Dr Sam Lee said the number of
contacts at the Hannover show may be smaller but the company had received
qualitatively good business enquiries.
"In fact, quite a few European business people
visited our stand," he added.
He was also unperturbed by Chinese competitors who may
sell at lower prices but had quality issues.
Pang Boon Tag, the sales and marketing director of
Penang-based UIS Technologies Sdn Bhd said he was "highly impressed"
by the level of knowledge buyers had gathered before arriving at the stand of
an exhibitor.
UIS
Technologies started out as a trading company about 11 years ago but now
manufactures semi-conductors and machine components, among others.
