MANILA, Philippines – Local automotive parts makers are looking at expanding their market and selling their products in Taiwan as they participated in the recently concluded 2009 Taipei International Auto Parts (AMPA) show.
“It is the first time for the Philippines to participate in the Taipei AMPA Show, considered as the premier auto parts show in Asia,” Motor Vehicles Parts Manufacturers Association of the Philippines (MVPMAP) director John Lee said.
“This is also significant as this is the first time that local auto parts makers have banded together to participate in an international trade exhibit of this magnitude,” he added.
According to Lee, this is a big step for auto parts manufacturers because they will be receiving maximum exposure like Asian neighbors Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Korea. He said these countries have been joining this show for the last 15 years.
MVPMAP said the government is supporting their endeavor to export auto parts. In fact, Lee said “the DTI has recognized the opportunities in Taiwan for the local parts manufacturing industry, both in the market for replacement parts as well as OEM opportunities that combine Taiwanese technology with the expanded and specialized production capacities in the Philippines.”
Likewise, the MVPMAP has brought locally assembled vintage jeep in the Taipei motor show. The vintage jeep was the centerpiece of Philippine made motor vehicle parts and accessories on display at the Philippine Pavilion of the 2009 AMPA event.
It chose the jeep to symbolize the Philippine auto industry in order to further show what Philippine auto parts makers can do.
The Filipino participants were Ambrose Industries, Famous Secret Precision Machining, Fasteners Inc., Laguna Carparts Manufacturing, MD Juan Enterprises, Nito Seiki Manufacturing, OEM Parts Manufacturing, Rado Rubberworks Manufacturing, Roberts AIPMC, Supercast Foundry and Machinery and the VSO Group of Companies.–Ma.
