ASIA - Messe Düsseldorf Asia is launching a trade fair for the metal and steel industries in Indonesia on 20-23 February 2013 at Jakarta International Expo.
Indometal is a four-day exhibition designed as a platform for businesses in the raw materials, processing and equipment, and production and logistics sectors to tap into the vast metal and steel markets in Indonesia.
A spokesman for Messe Düsseldorf Asia said Indonesia, which has a population of 240 million, presents the largest market in Southeast Asia and the fastest growing economy after China and India.
“We trust that these factors combined with growing domestic demand, investment in capacity and favourable government regulations will benefit all participants at Indometal 2013”, said MD of Messe Düsseldorf Asia Gernot Ringling.
Ringling said the steel industry in the ASEAN region registered a double digit growth of 16.8 per cent in 2010, largely due to the high growth rates in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand.
The integration of Southeast Asia’s economies into a single production base, the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA), is another attraction of the region as tariff barriers are eliminated among its member countries, according to Messe Düsseldorf Asia.
Messe Düsseldorf Asia will collaborate with local partner PT Wahana Kemalaniaga to organise three exhibitions in 2012.
