With its ‘Innovations in Production Technology – German Machine Tools Symposium’ in
Kuala Lumpur earlier this month, the VDW (German Machine Tool Builders’ Association)
helped its members gain a stronger foothold in growth markets. Eight German high-tech
companies used the VDW symposium to sound out their opportunities in the presence of
110 Malaysian trade visitors. The companies – DMG Mori, Chiron, Grob, Hermle, Index, Open
Mind Technologies, Schütte and United Grinding – also participated in 48 B2B meetings. The
VDW estimates that the Malaysian machine tool market is worth more than €700m.
