JEC ASIA 2012 – 5th edition in Singapore June 26-28, 2012

Discover our new publicationOur 5th trade show should be full of crowning moments and business opportunities. The five key topics will be:
- Aeronautics and MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul),
- Automotive, electric cars and mass transportation,
- Energy, environment and use of eco-friendly materials such as natural fibers and resins,
- Carbon,
- Construction and infrastructure.

The subject of automation will be featured across the board, for both high-tech batch production structures and mass-market parts.
There will also be a focus on raw-material offers (resins and fibers) in this part of the world where demand is high, and especially on plant-based composites.
The 2012 country guest of honor will be Malaysia, and new synergies and market opportunities will arise from the many exchanges and events around this occasion.
So, don’t hesitate to contact us as soon as possible to sign up for JEC Asia 2012. We are at your disposal to help you choose the best package to suit your strategy and requirements.
Hoping to see you at Singapore in June 2012!
