BANGKOK: A total of 55 Malaysian companies are taking part in Thailand’s iconic food and beverage trade fair, THAIFEX-Anuga Asia 2022 to expand their market presence globally.
Malaysia’s ambassador to Thailand, Datuk Jojie Samuel said the trade exhibition, held at IMPACT Muang Thong Thani from May 24 to 28, is a platform for Malaysian companies to explore new opportunities and penetrate a bigger market.
“We are happy to see many Malaysian products exhibited here, as many international distributors are here looking for good and high-quality products.
“I am happy to say that many Malaysian companies have the potential to grow and expand further, not only in the Thai markets but also the global market in the years to come,” he told Bernama.
This year, more than 1,600 companies, including 881 international companies are participating in the five-day on-site trade fair.
In response to the high demand from buyers who wish to do business in Thailand, a virtual trade show, www.thaifex-vts.com will be open for one year to facilitate trade opportunities, enabling buyers to seek and connect with industry professionals.
Meanwhile, a member of the Malaysian Business Group, Mark Law said the THAIFEX-Anuga Asia 2022 is an ideal meeting point for network expansion and business growth.
