Beyond its reputation as a tourism hub, Thailand’s manufacturing ecosystem is a key pillar of its economy. Like many others, it continues to evolve to keep pace with global shifts and technological transformation. The local government remains committed to supporting the industry’s transition toward high-tech, value-adding sectors for sustained growth.
Bringing the industry together to share and learn is critical, and Metalex 2025 is one such platform.
Yesterday marked the start of the 39th edition of Metalex at BITEC, Bangkok. Together with 14 Singapore exhibitors, we are excited and looking forward to an exciting show through Saturday. If you’re in the area, do drop by and say hi.

We were honoured to be hosted by Mr Eng Chong Neo, CEO of Makino Asia Group, for an engaging fireside chat on technology, innovation, and the future of advanced manufacturing as part of the SPETA Gen II Leadership Programme (SGLP) Technology Module.
Session 4 of the SPETA Gen II Leadership Programme (SGLP) took a deep dive into human capital strategies, exploring how precision engineering companies can retain talent, support senior employees, and build a sustainable workforce for the future.
SPETA was pleased to partner with ST Engineering on “Building Partnerships for Global Growth”, of which more than 50 member companies gained valuable insights into how collaboration and innovation can drive growth in an increasingly complex global landscape.
In the second part of our technology-focused sessions, participants of SPETA Gen2 Leadership Programme (SGLP) explored how AI and advanced technologies are driving sustainability and competitiveness in the PE sector🤖
Medtec China 2025 in Shanghai highlighted the dynamic growth of the global MedTech industry, drawing over 1,000 exhibitors and 85,000 visitors.
How do we attract, retain, and grow the next generation of talent in PE? 🤔
The question sparked lively discussion during SPETA Gen II Leadership Programme (SGLP) learning visit to Coway Engineering & Marketing Pte Ltd.
Hosted at Coway’s Seletar Aerospace facility, the session brought together Gen II leaders for an afternoon of learning, sharing, and reflection. Through a candid roundtable dialogue, participants exchanged experiences on retaining skilled employees in today’s competitive labour market, attracting young talent into manufacturing, and ensuring smooth succession planning within family-led enterprises.

As part of the SPETA Second Generation Leadership Programme (SGLP), we deep-dived into the technologies and innovations shaping our industry’s next phase of growth.
SPETA successfully led the Singapore Pavilion at Semicon India, featuring 20 Singapore exhibitors showcasing precision engineering, automation, and advanced manufacturing technologies. The event highlighted India’s rapidly expanding semiconductor ecosystem, driven by strong government support and rising investments from global players. Market sentiment was highly positive, with strong interest from Indian companies seeking technology and supply chain partnerships.
Session 2 of the SPETA Gen II Leadership Programme (SGLP) brought together deep insights on financial stewardship, risk management, and strategic growth.
The semiconductor landscape is evolving as rapidly as the chips themselves.
Keeping pace is no easy task, the community continues to press on strengthened by collaboration and innovation.
As the industry builds new capabilities, upskills its workforce, and navigates shifting geopolitics and market dynamics, precision engineering remains a key enabler of semiconductor growth.
We are encouraged to see the sector’s continued progress, and even more so, the close partnership between semiconductors and precision engineering.
