Inauguration a tremendous success
Extremely positive feedback from both exhibitors and visitors
The

Taiwan, United Kingdom and USA occupied a gross space of 15,000 sqm.
Visiting delegations from India, Vietnam and Malaysia added a further
international hue to both the trade fairs.
The trade fairs were
opened by Khun Chakramon Phasukavanich, Permanent Secretary of
Thailand’s Ministry of Industry on 16 October 2007. Khun Chakramon
asserted in his opening address that the hosting of wire and Tube
Southeast ASIA in Bangkok “is indeed timely with Thailand’s aspiration
to be ‘The Hub of Asia’…” and that both the trade fairs “will provide
avenues for the various business sectors to work closely to tap the
potentials arising from the regional integration initiatives as well as
Thailand’s own initiatives with existing and potential trading
partners.”
Khun Chakramon added that “Thailand is an exciting growth market in
Asia and enjoys a strategic location at the Asia.” Organizer Messe
Duesseldorf Asia’s Managing Director, Mr Gernot Ringling concurred with
this statement and further mentioned that “Thailand’s central location
within the region is opening more trade and investment opportunities”
and this bodes well with the staging of both the wire and tube trade
fairs in Thailand.

AUGUST 2007
wire Southeast ASIA / Tube Southeast ASIA 2007 Showcase Latest Solutions
The
inaugural wire Southeast ASIA / Tube Southeast ASIA 2007 trade fairs
will introduce a diversity of cutting-edge technologies, products and
solutions to the Southeast Asian wire, cable, tube and pipe sectors
from a truly global slate of exhibitors. More than 350 exhibiting
companies from over 30 countries including 8 national groups from
Austria, China, France, Germany, Italy, Taiwan, United Kingdom and USA
will make their presence felt at the must-attend and sold-out trade
fairs. Both the concurrently held trade fairs will serve as a
platform to introduce, in many cases for the first time to Southeast
Asia, tools and solutions with the potential to give industry players a
global competitive edge in their business.
India’s Gandhi Special Tubes brings
to Tube Southeast ASIA its range of cold drawn and bright annealed
seamless steel tubes for hydraulics, cold drawn seamless tubes for high
pressure diesel fuel injection, and small diameter (below 12.7 mm OD)
welded steel tubes (plain/inside & outside copper plated/outside
electro galvanized) for automobile fuel lines and refrigerator
condensers.
ISA Technology will introduce the Uhing
RGK3-15 and RGK3-20 Rolling Ring Traverse winding drives to the
regional market at Tube Southeast ASIA. For a shaft diameter of
15/20mm, the winding drives feature continuous pitch adjustment,
automatic reversal, a release lever for moving the traverse freely,
maintenance-free design and maximum corrosion protection.
The ability of Tube Southeast ASIA exhibitor Thermatool
to vary the welding frequency at the operator’s console in 1 kHz
increments from 150 to 400 kHz has revolutionized the high frequency
(HF) tube welding process. Thermatool has now extended the capabilities
of variable frequency HF welding to its HAZ Control Technology. For the
first time, an operator has the information required on hand to
consistently make the best weld. The combined effects of weld power,
frequency, vee length, impeder function and wall thickness are now
displayed on the operator’s console in a simple way. Visitors to Tube
Southeast ASIA can learn more about this groundbreaking development.

STRONG Investment in Southeast Asia Augments Importance of wire and Tube Southeast ASIA.
The
inaugural wire and Tube Southeast ASIA 2007 trade fairs will make their
debuts at Bangkok’s BITEC on 16 October 2007 hosting some 300
exhibitors from more than 30 countries including 8 country groups from
Austria, China, France, Germany, Italy, Taiwan, United Kingdom and
USA. To cater to the numerous requests for more space from both
confirmed and potential exhibitors at the sold out trade fairs, hall
space is now increased by 25 percent. Both wire and Tube Southeast
ASIA will be held amidst renewed optimism in the Thai economy on
account of elections slated for the end of the year and a return to
civilian government in early 2008. The economic and industrial outlook
in neighbouring countries such as Vietnam and Indonesia are also
positive.
Foreign
investors continue to view Thailand as an attractive location for
export-oriented production operations. Thailand’s Board of Investment
reports foreign and domestic investment applications received in the
first five months of 2007 were up 12 percent year-on-year and valued at
USD 5.6 billion (up 73 percent). In terms of investments approved, the
number was up slightly by 3.5 percent but a more positive sign was the
value of approvals -- up an impressive 86 percent to USD 8.35 billion.
