Metal Thailand 2026

METAL THAILAND 2026

Upgrading from Metal Processing to Advanced Manufacturing

 

 In the context of the accelerating innovation within the global foundry industry and the robust development of manufacturing in Southeast Asia, Metal Thailand 2026 will be once again held in Bangkok, Thailand, from October 14-16, 2026.

With the theme of "Collaboration for a Smart Manufacturing Asia", this event is organized by China Foundry Association. It will utilize the significant international influence of China's foundry industry and integrate the resources from the international foundry, forging, heat treatment, and welding sectors to stimulate a development wave in the metal thermal processing field in Southeast Asia.

Reasons to exhibit

· Capability and value upgrading

Currently, the industrialization process of Southeast Asian countries has reached a new stage. Ranging from electronic assembly in Vietnam to automotive manufacturing in Thailand, and from resource processing in Indonesia to semiconductor testing in Malaysia, a common core requirement is becoming increasingly prominent: enhancing the added value and technological sophistication of local manufacturing, and improving the competitiveness of their industrial and value chains.

· Thailand--Regional hub

Thailand is the industrial center of Southeast Asia. It is rapidly evolving from a "regional production base" for multinational companies to a "Southeast Asian manufacturing hub" that integrates resources and radiates to the surrounding areas.

· Rich industrial accumulation

As a country with a certain foundation in automotive and mechanical manufacturing, Thailand, with its metal processing industry base and skilled technical workforce, has the soil to undertake and absorb advanced manufacturing technologies.

· Open network

Relying on its geographical central position and well-developed transportation and logistics system, and taking advantage of the zero-tariff circulation benefits of the ASEAN Economic Community, setting up a layout in Thailand can efficiently serve the markets of neighboring countries such as Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines.

· Upward policy traction

The "30/30" electric vehicle target promoted by the Thai government and the high-end manufacturing plan for the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) not only created internal demand but also clearly conveyed to the entire region the policy signals and investment appeal for industrial breakthroughs.

· Robust Demand for Manufacturing in Thailand

As a prominent manufacturing hub in Southeast Asia, Thailand has experienced significant progress in large-scale infrastructure projects, new energy vehicles, and high-end manufacturing. This progress has resulted in an increasing demand for construction machinery castings, new energy vehicle components, high-precision casting parts, high-quality raw and auxiliary materials, and high-end intelligent production equipment.

· Exhibition Platform+Full-chain Resources: Empowering Enterprises to Explore Growth

Since its initial launch in 2019, Metal Thailand has consistently been dedicated to serving as a shared platform for the manufacturing industries of China and Southeast Asia, sharing opportunities and facilitating development. It centers on advanced technologies and market information within the casting and related upstream and downstream industries, emerging as a crucial platform for enterprises to access the Southeast Asian market.
