Asiamold 2018: Enthusiastic support from automotive moulding enterprises

Committed to providing 3D printing, metalwork and mould-making solutions for manufacturing-based industries in South China, the 12th edition of Asiamold will be held from 4 – 6 March 2018 at the China Import and Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou. The fair will be held concurrently with SPS – Industrial Automation Fair Guangzhou. Collectively the two trade fairs are expected to house over 800 exhibitors and utilise more than 55,000 sqm of space across five halls. With attendees ranging from manufacturers and product suppliers to distributors and end-users from around the globe, more than 65,000 professional visitors are anticipated during the three-day shows.

Regarded by professionals as the annual event for Asia's manufacturing industries, the fair attracts industry-leading suppliers who will showcase their latest innovations. Zones at the fair include 3D Printing Asia, Asiametal, Foundry and Die-casting as well as Laser and Welding Technology. Visitors can also expect automotive mould enterprises to be a key highlight of Asiamold 2018.
