METAL ENGINEERING EXPO

Metal engineering is evolving fast from precision machining and sheet metal fabrication to advanced materials, automation, and digital production. Manufacturers today are expected to improve quality, shorten lead times, and stay competitive in a changing supply chain.

METAL ENGINEERING EXPO brings the industry together with practical technologies and proven solutions helping businesses modernise production, improve accuracy, and build stronger manufacturing capability for the future.

The expo focuses on machine tools, metalworking technologies, industrial engineering solutions, and production efficiency  showcasing the latest equipment, tools, services, and innovations for the manufacturing sector.

Exhibit profiles include machining and fabrication systems, cutting tools, welding and surface finishing, metrology and inspection, materials handling, industrial automation, and more  all under one roof.

Join us at Malaysia’s dedicated trade platform for the metal engineering and metalworking industry.

About the Show

The Rationale

Strengthening Malaysia’s Metalworking & Manufacturing Capability

Metal engineering sits at the core of industrial growth powering sectors such as automotive, aerospace, electrical & electronics, medical devices, construction, oil & gas, and general manufacturing. As Malaysia moves towards higher-value production, the demand for precision machining, advanced fabrication, and modern manufacturing systems continues to rise.

At the same time, manufacturers are under pressure to improve productivity, reduce waste, shorten lead times, and maintain consistent quality. This requires more than equipment upgrades it calls for smarter processes, better measurement and control, and a reliable ecosystem of suppliers and specialists.

Metal Engineering Expo exists to support this transformation by bringing together machine tools, metalworking technologies, industrial automation, metrology, tooling, and engineering services  so buyers can compare solutions, meet trusted partners, and make faster sourcing decisions in one place.

Ultimately, the expo helps accelerate industry readiness by connecting the right technologies with the right decision-makers  driving efficiency, competitiveness, and sustainable manufacturing growth.

 

Key Growth Drivers

Transforming

Synergy for Success

Metal Engineering Expo will be held alongside the Manufacturing and Trade Exposition (MTE)  Malaysia’s leading industrial trade platform showcasing manufacturing, engineering, and industrial solutions under one roof.

As part of the MTE ecosystem, Metal Engineering Expo co-locates with multiple specialised trade fairs, creating stronger cross-industry reach and higher-quality business matching. Participants gain access to wider buyer networks, practical technology showcases, and valuable connections that drive real opportunities on the show floor.
