Metaltech Kuala Lumpur

METALTECH – Metalworking Technology – has been the leading trade fair for metalworking and manufacturing technologies in Malaysia and across Southeast Asia since its inception in 1994.

Held annually at the state-of-the-art Malaysia International Trade & Exhibition Centre (MITEC) in Kuala Lumpur, METALTECH brings together global industry leaders, decision-makers, and forward-thinking innovators from the manufacturing sector. Organized by Informa Markets Malaysia Sdn Bhd – a seasoned trade fair organizer – the event serves not only as a central platform for business development and technology transfer, but also as a key driver of industrialization and digital transformation in the Southeast Asian market.

What sets METALTECH apart is its clear focus on the future of industrial manufacturing. The event seamlessly integrates proven metalworking techniques – such as milling, turning, stamping, grinding, welding, and laser cutting – with cutting-edge advancements in areas like Industry 4.0, smart automation, artificial intelligence, additive manufacturing, precision measurement, and sustainable production. Through free seminars and hands-on live demonstrations, trade visitors gain firsthand insight into how collaborative robots, digital twins, ERP systems, big data analytics, cloud solutions, and CO₂-efficient machinery are already revolutionizing production processes.

The exhibition specifically targets professionals and decision-makers from key sectors including automotive, aerospace, electronics, medical technology, semiconductors, offshore engineering, and the energy industry. Visitors come not only from Malaysia but from across the Southeast Asian region – especially Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and South Korea – to explore the latest technologies, suppliers, and solutions, and to evaluate them in direct comparison. As such, METALTECH is far more than just a national industry event – it is an international hub for high-level technical exchange.

Renowned exhibitors such as Mitsubishi Electric, KUKA, Beckhoff, and Monitor ERP showcase their latest innovations and demonstrate real-world applications of digital transformation in manufacturing. The supporting program includes expert talks on ESG initiatives, CO₂ footprint accounting, and the use of environmentally friendly materials – topics that also position METALTECH as a pioneer in sustainable manufacturing practices.

MITEC in Kuala Lumpur ranks among the most modern exhibition centers in Southeast Asia. With its central location and direct access to the international airport, flexible exhibition spaces, advanced infrastructure, and professional logistics, it offers ideal conditions for exhibitors and visitors alike. Year after year, METALTECH transforms MITEC into the epicenter of the metalworking industry – a must-attend event for anyone aiming to future-proof their production with smart, digital, and efficient solutions.

The Metaltech takes place annually, and therefore for the thirtieth time previsibly in May 2026 in Kuala Lumpur.
