Organised by Informa Markets Viet Nam in collaboration with domestic and international trade and industry promotion organisations, the four-day exhibition features 450 brands from 18 countries and territories, including Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong (China), India, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the Netherlands, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Sweden, Taiwan (China), Thailand, Türkiye and the US.
The event showcases advanced manufacturing technologies, equipment and solutions spanning the entire production value chain, including metalworking, sheet metal processing, mould and die manufacturing, welding, CNC machining, laser cutting, automation, metrology, heat treatment, pneumatic systems and next-generation industrial solutions.
Ben Wong, General Manager of Informa Markets Viet Nam, said this year's exhibition has expanded not only in scale but also in quality, gathering leading manufacturers, equipment suppliers and technology innovators that are setting new global standards for productivity, precision and manufacturing capabilities. Major exhibitors include Salvagnini Italia S.p.A., Makino Asia Pte. Ltd., Ace Micromatic International Pvt. Ltd., Yamazaki Mazak Singapore Pte. Ltd., MST Corporation Co., Ltd. and Renishaw (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.
He said visitors can explore an integrated manufacturing ecosystem rather than individual technologies, providing a comprehensive view of future smart factories and practical pathways for upgrading production capabilities.
A highlight of this year's event is the debut of the Mechanical Engineering in the Intelligent Age Summit, which places engineers at the centre of industrial transformation. The forum honours generations of mechanical engineers while exploring the evolving role of a new workforce equipped to harness digital technologies, data and smart manufacturing ecosystems.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Nguyen Truong Thi, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Industry and Trade, said the city remains one of Viet Nam's key economic growth engines, with manufacturing serving as a core pillar of its economy.
He noted that MTA Viet Nam 2026 provides an important platform for Vietnamese enterprises to stay abreast of technological advances and strengthen their participation in the supply chains of foreign-invested enterprises and global manufacturers, particularly in supporting industries.
Running through July 4, it also features a series of specialised seminars organised in partnership with the Viet Nam Robotics Association, the Ho Chi Minh City Supporting Industry Association, the Ho Chi Minh City Association of Mechanical Engineering, VINATEST, the Viet Nam Association of Mechanical Industry, and international technology organisations.
