Improving Economy Boosts Sales at Indonesia’s Largest Manufacturing Equipment and Machine Tool Show
The Manufacturing Indonesia Series with Machine Tool Indonesia 2007 will be held 5-8 December next year at the Jakarta International Expo, Kemayoran. This year’s highly successful event drew 26,096 trade and business visitors from throughout Indonesia.
Running concurrently with these shows but with separate visitor registration areas will be Propak/Plastics & Rubber/Printing Indonesia 2007 after this year’s edition achieved 18,903 trade and business visitors.
The shows were officially inaugurated by Bapak Ansari Bukhari, Director General of Metal Machinery Textile and Multivarious Industries on behalf of Bapak Fahmi Idris, Minister of Industry.

In all 1254 exhibitors participated at Manufacturing Indonesia/Machine Tool Indonesia with a further 497 exhibitors at Propak/Plastics & Rubber/Printing Indonesia.
