[SIMTOS2014] Participation Guide

The production of machine tools is expected to grow approximately 5.1% on-year in 2013.

 

The growth of domestic demands is likely to stay a single digit due to the weakness of the new car development.


Hoewever, going global for Korean companies in line with export will be positive becase the export to China, which is the biggest export market for South Korea, stayed same and to India, Turkey and Southeast Asian countries was increased with the going up of the manufacturing industry in the USA.

Therefore, the SIMTOS2014 executive office is going to  prepare for the next exihibition as it becomes your companies' second Sales Team.


<Please apply for paricipation in advance for good locations of booths and discount benefits>

1. As long as you sign up for the SIMTOS2014 to participate in advance, you can get more points when  assigning locations of booths.

 - You get 30 points before 6th in March 2013 and just a point after then.
 - Scoring will be different according to application for participation and date for payment. So, you   need to fill out an application form in a hurry.


2. The period of the advance application is proportionate to the discount rate of a booth.

 - If you sign up until 30th in April 2013, you will get a 40.5% discount while you will be given a 33.8% discount if you do until 30th In June. Thus, I'd like you to take a chance to reduce an entry fee in a hurry.
