Indometal 2018
Booming Indonesian economy opens new opportu- nities to Southeast Asia’s metal and steel markets
Vibrant show oors abuzz with activitie
The 4th edition of indometal – the International Metal & Steel Trade Fair for Southeast Asia, returns to JI Expo, Kemayoran, Jakarta, Indonesia from 17 – 19 October 2018
Indonesia has seen tremendous economic growth and develop- ments, and by 2030, Indonesia’s GDP is projected to exceed US$3.7 trillion. The country’s growth has been propelled by advances and increased focus in infrastructure, oil and gas, mining and power generation. Its metal and steel market remains lucrative, as the country could surpass India’s as the world’s second largest stain- less steel producers in the next few years. Leveraging on this growth, the country also announced the development of three steel industry clusters worth a total investment value of US$14.89 billion. Accelerated growth in infrastructure is also taking place in Indonesia, with the country’s government extending their invite to foreign investors to invest in various infrastructure projects. These trends could certainly
bene t the metal and steel market with the import of raw materials, steel production and infrastruc- ture development.
The staging of indometal 2018 therefore comes at an opportune time for businesses wanting to expand their foothold into the vast Indonesian market.
Driven by the established know- how and credentials of Ger- man-based events under the Messe Düsseldorf group – GIFA, METEC, THERMPROCESS AND NEWCAST, and jointly organised by Messe Düsseldorf Asia and PT Wahana Kemalaniaga Makmur (WAKENI), indometal 2018 is set for another successful edition with 300 exhibitors from 30 coun- tries, including the participation of national pavilions and country groups such as China, Germany, Italy and Taiwan, as well as estab- lished companies in the likes of Makmur Meta Graha Dinamika and Hitachi High-Technologies.
Some 5,000 quali ed trade visi- tors from a diverse range of indus- tries, manufacturing, mining, ship building and automotive are expected at the three-day trade fair. Visitors can look forward to worthwhile networking opportu- nities and a wide array of innova- tions in the elds of metallurgy, foundry equipment, thermo process technology, semi- nished and nished products, accessories and tubes to ful ll their sourcing objectives and value-add to their business.
As a platform for knowledge exchange, discussions on the latest market trends will be explored through an industry-led seminar and technical presenta- tions by exhibitors. Organised by the Indonesian Foundry Industries Association (APLINDO), the Indo- nesian Foundrymen’s Association (HAPLI) and the trade fair’s co-or- ganisers, the seminar titled “Sup- porting the Government’s Program to Strengthen Upstream Indus- try”, will feature a stellar line-up of industry speakers, including a keynote speech by the Ministry of Industry, Republic of Indonesia. Topics covered include the devel- opment of the smelter industry in Indonesia, mineral processing process and trends in the alumin- ium sector. While exhibitor’s tech- nical presentations by PT Green Plus Indonesia, O.M. LER Srl, PT Spektris Metalab and Octo Corindo will see launch of latest products and introduction to their newest technologies.
