[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.

 - 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.

Coexit of practical technology and advanced technology

[oooooooooooooooooo] was decided as the topic of the SIMTOS 2014 in oder to view all manufacturing technologies from materials to products production, as well as steel cutting.
 
 
 
 
Lately, the domestic machine tool industry has been in trouble because the demand of the development of new models in the car industry is low. Moreover, the global economy has grown lower since the economic crisis in 2008.
 
 
 
 
So, the SIMTOS 2014 is going to unveil various forward-looking technologies while convey practical messages to participating companies to help them realistically.
 
 
What's more, a wide variety of promotions and benefits would be useful for them to share the difficulties one another.
 
 
Result of the SIMTOS 2012
 
1. 5,274 booths installed by 763 compaies from 34 counties

2. the fisrt exihibition utilised all exihibition halls in KINTEX

3. arranged fisrt-ever 6 exihibition halls specialised specific fields in the SIMTOS

4. approximately 54,000 people of attendees through the advance registration

5. 371 companies newly participated in the SIMTOS 2012

6. 66,063 cases of coucils in line with export and purchases, $1,866m contracts

7. over KRW 1 trillion worth of stimulation effects in the domestic industy
 
 
Exihibition Overview for the SIMTOS 2014
 
1. Period: 2014. 04. 09 (Wed.) ~ 13 (Sun.)

2. Attendees: 100,000 people

3. Venue: KINTEX, ILSAN, KOREA

4. Participating Companies: 760

5. Exhibition Halls: KINTEX 1 and 2 exihibition halls
 
 
If 50,000 people visit an exihibition, it will be possible to make a successful business. However, as long as 100,000 people participate in it, it starts industrial culture beyond just businesses.
 
 


Therefore, the SIMTOS 2014, which makes exchange culture of production technology beyond exihibition business, is going to show the present, the future of production technology and invaluable worth with 100,000 participants as the SIMTOS 2012 did.
