RI firms to join WoodmacAsia

JAKARTA (JP): At least 32 Indonesian companies have signed up
to participate in the up-coming woodworking exhibition called
WoodmacAsia2001 in Singapore, the event organizer said.

"The Indonesian woodworking industry has been a firm supporter
of WoodmacAsia," Vicki Lim of Singapore Exhibition Services said
at a press conference in Jakarta on Tuesday.

A biennial event, WoodmacAsia showcases companies providing
woodworking machinery and suppliers for the woodworking
industry.

It will be held in tandem with FurnitekAsia2001 which
showcases the furniture industry.

Some 800 companies and 12 groups from around the world have
confirmed their participation in the two events to be held at the
Singapore Expo exhibition center from September 4 to 7.

"WoodmacAsia in Singapore serves as a focal point for
international manufacturers, especially from Europe, to meet and
forge networks with the Southeast Asian industry,"

The four-day exhibition will also feature a two-day
international seminar aimed at identifying the region's emerging
markets for the timber trade and furniture exports. (03)
