Don’t miss TMTS 2014

Taichung City is a place located in western Taiwan. This is where the upcoming Taiwan International Machine Tool Show (TMTS 2014) will be held. And we are excited to announce that Ringier Metalworking will be the official media for this year’s show. So do watch out for new updates about the show. But before I talk more about the show let me share with you some facts about Taiwan.

Do you know that Taiwan is a major manufacturing country and consuming market for global machine tools. There are more than 1600 manufacturers in the Taiwanese machine tool supply chain, and nearly 90 percent of these manufacturers are concentrated in the Greater Taichung area. Taichung is not only an important global machine tool manufacturing base, but also a major consuming market in machine tools and other mechanical equipment. Inside 60 kilometer radius of the Taiwan machine tool cluster, the best engineering solutions are available for global machine users. Resources can be found for buyers, from one single machine tool to full-scale automation equipment planning. At the same time, all other machine tool demands, such as fixtures, tools, accessories and software planning, can be fulfilled. Taichung represents a unique machine tool cluster in the world because all required precision components can be found for producing machine tools. Whether custom-made or market available specification components, all can be supplied swiftly with attractive pricing.

Organized by Taiwan Machine Tool & Accessory Builders’ Association (TMBA), TMTS 2014 will open its doors on November 5-9 at the Greater Taichung International Expo Center. More than 650 companies, both domestic and international, are expected to attend TMTS 2014. The area for the exhibition is 78,000 square meters, with more than 3,700 booths exhibiting all types of high precision machine tools, components, accessories, tools and automation equipment. TMTS features an innovative "Exhibition integrated with Manufacturing Supply Chain" exhibition style. There is 54 percent increase in overall scale, and 45 percent increase in exhibitor number compared with the last TMTS.

Taichung is chosen to host TMTS 2014 because it provides buyers the best business platform along with a visit to manufacturing plants. It takes only 30 to 40 minutes’ drive to the factories for a peek on how the Taiwanese machine tools are made.
