Die and mold industry sets 10th expo to mobilize the Philippine manufacturing industry towards global excellence


PDMA, Inc., the leading group in the tool and die industry will unveil new machineries and state-of-the-art technologies as it holds the 10th edition of PDMEX, the country's largest, focused, and solely recognized machinery exhibition.


Also known as the Philippine Die and Mold Machineries & Equipment Exhibition, the biennial event is set on August 23-26, 2023 at the World Trade Center Metro Manila in Pasay City, the first since the Covid-19 pandemic.


“PDMEX will bring together hundreds of exhibitors from several sub-sectors of the industry including metal stamping, plastics, rubber and packaging, die casting and forging, electronics and semiconductors tooling, technological resources, and machining and equipment fabrication. World-class machineries and equipment with highly advanced technologies will be showcased and demonstrated,” says PDMEX chairman Hector Villanueva Jr.




He added that the 4-day event will be a comprehensive platform to promote the modernization of the local die and mold industry, and provide a convergence point for the industry, the government, and the academe to consolidate efforts in mobilizing the national manufacturing industry towards global excellence.


Acknowledged as the backbone of vital industries including manufacturing, agriculture, electronics, automotive, aerospace, and construction, the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) recognizes the die and mold industry's importance in the special economic zones that it governs.

The Expo will also highlight the promising opportunities within the industry to encourage Filipinos and college students to pursue careers in the industry. A series of seminars and technical sessions presented by participating exhibitors Computrends, Backje Philippines, Guhring, LFK Corporation, and Teknologix are scheduled throughout the 4-day exhibition.
