MTC GLOBAL WOODMART 2012 TO BOOST REGIONAL TIMBER INDUSTRY

100% increase in exhibition space to draw more exhibitors and buyers

    Following a highly successful debut in 2010 in Kuala Lumpur, the MTC Global WoodMart (MGW) 2012 will once again take centre-stage at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre from October 4-6, 2012 providing a premier one-stop selling, buying and networking platform for local and international timber suppliers and buyers.

    MGW 2012 was today launched by Tan Sri Bernard Dompok, Minister of Plantation Industries and Commodities (MPIC) in a ceremony attended by representatives from the industry and government agencies. The Minister was represented by the Secretary-General of MPIC, Datin Paduka Nurmala Abdul Rahim, who also read his speech.

    In his speech, the Minister congratulated MTC for “organising the MTC Global WoodMart (MGW) for the second time in 2012 following the very successful inaugural event last year [which] lived up to its objective and expectation of being a one-stop selling, buying and networking trade fair for temperate, boreal and tropical timber under one roof.”

    Buoyed by the success of the debut show, MTC has doubled the exhibition space for MGW 2012 to 2,000 square metres, to occupy two halls at the KLCC Convention Centre, and has extended the show duration from two to three days.

    Representatives from 13 companies and organizations which had confirmed participation in MGW 2012 signed Letters of Understanding during the launch witnessed by Datin Paduka Nurmala Abdul Rahim, MTC Chairman Datuk Aaron Ago Dagang and MTC CEO Mr Cheah Kam Huan. They were the American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC), French Timber, Ah Hai Industries Sdn Bhd, APP Timber Sdn Bhd, Java Berhad, Lionex (M) Sdn Bhd, Low Fatt Wood Industries Sdn Bhd, Victory Enterprise Sdn Bhd, Sarawak Timber Industry Development Corporation, Vin-Forest Industries Sdn Bhd, Professional Surfaces Sdn Bhd, Kronoloc Industries Sdn Bhd and the Malaysian Wood Industries Association.

    A new feature of MGW 2012 is the ‘Wood in Art’ section, specially introduced for craftsmen to express their creativity in timber in various finished forms. There will also be a ‘Best Presentation Award’ for the most creative exhibitor’s booth.

    Apart from facilitating business among local and overseas suppliers, agents, distributors, importers, manufacturers, wholesalers and others in the supply chain, the MGW 2012 also aims to promote and encourage the wider application and use of timber from Malaysian and international sources.

    During his opening remarks, the MTC Chairman said that “MTC is confident that the Global WoodMart 2012 would be another outstanding success. And I am proud to say that based on exhibitors and visitors’ positive feedback, the Global WoodMart has already become a trade event that is looked forward to by the timber trade in 2012”.

    MGW’s debut show in 2010 attracted 108 exhibitors from more than 20 countries including Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, New Zealand, South Korea, the UAE, UK and USA. In addition, over 2,000 trade buyers from 50 countries attended, with sizeable representations from Japan, the Netherlands, China, India, Singapore, Thailand and the UAE.

    Feedback from participants was encouraging and favourable with many expressing their interest to return for MGW 2012. Said John Chan of AHEC, “It provided us a good platform to meet with the users, traders from many countries.” Stuart McCallum of Timberbond, New Zealand, mentioned that “Opportunities persist in the Malaysian market. It has been very insightful.” Yaqoub H. Abdulla from the Department of Seaport & Customs, UAE said, “It has given us a chance to be in this market, opening a couple of chances to discover this wide and big market of Malaysia.” Peter Thomson of Glosswood, Australia said, “There is a good range of timbers available and it really does showcase the Malaysian timber manufacturers.”

    To create awareness of MGW 2012, MTC is currently carrying out international promotional efforts through its offices in London, Shanghai and Dubai to bring prospective buyers from traditional markets in Europe, the USA, Japan and Australia, as well as emerging markets such as China, Russia and countries in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Latin America to Malaysia.
