The ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) will officially arrive in 2015. Among its many benefits will be the creation of much larger markets with higher quality raw materials and greater diversity of parts. On the other hand there will be a big increase in competition among ASEAN countries. So Thai entrepreneurs need to prepare, raise their capabilities, and invest in technologies that help reduce costs and raise quality in order to stay competitive.
Sheet Metal Asia 2014 provides solutions to many such problems. The event is now ASEAN's largest International Sheet Metal Fabrication and Machinery Exhibition and the 2014 event will feature a complete showcase of the latest machine technology from around the world. This will include state-of-the-art fiber laser machines, press brake, punching machines, water jet technology and more. Many leading global companies will be using the show to launch their latest machinery for the first time in Asia - and some equipment will be on display for the first time in Thailand.
