On their participation at Manufacturing Myanmar 2014, Dr. Hans-Peter Laubscher, Managing Director-Asia Pacific, TRUMPF Pte Ltd says, "TRUMPF joins Manufacturing Myanmar 2014 to create brand awareness and promote our technological capabilities in this new and upcoming market.

I was able to see some of the products that I was in need of and was able to meet the sellers personally to find out more and negotiate a business deal. I hope that the next edition will feature more exhibitors and products that can meet our needs."
"Making an investment to automate operations with the use of machines and various supporting equipment is certainly a stride forward in unlocking Myanmar's manufacturing potential. Creating a platform for the sharing of knowledge and best practices, and presenting business opportunities for the local industry, and providing international companies a gateway into the country make up the essence of what Manufacturing Myanmar is all about," says Ms. Lindy Wee, Deputy Chief Executive of organiser Singapore Exhibition Services.
