Feedback from exhibitors:

“With Thai manufacturers advancing from manual operations to automation, there is a growing opportunity for international technology providers to bring their solutions to the region. At Intelligent Asia Thailand 2025, we presented a variety of automation technologies, including AI-enabled CCTV systems and collaborative robots. As systems integrators, we assist organisations in assessing their needs and developing customised automation strategies. Being our first time exhibiting here, we’ve seen a good mix of visitors from local manufacturers and potential international partners.”
Mr Chai Booranajitrpirom, Chief Product Officer, TKK Corporation Co Ltd

"Many of our customers have chosen to establish factories in Thailand due to labour cost advantages and shifts in the international trade environment. Following their lead, we are seeking to expand our presence in Thailand through this platform, showcasing our range of consumables including ceramic brushes and non-woven fabrics for PCB processing. We connected with procurement managers, production process managers, and equipment managers from the domestic automotive industry, as well as international clients, and believe that the combination of product displays and industry forums effectively supports the growth of our sector in the region.”
Ms Baoliu Xu, Sourcing Manager, Guangdong Jiejun Technology Co Ltd

"This is our first time exhibiting at Intelligent Asia Thailand, where we're showcasing our automated inspection solutions, including a robotic arm with scanning capabilities. We're seeing good visitor flow across both halls, with sectors well represented across PCB Thailand, Automation Thailand, and the SPS Demo Zone. While online marketing channels like social media have their place, seeing these technologies demonstrated in person provides value that digital channels simply can’t match.”
Mr Taveesak Srisuntisuk, Managing Director, Thaimach Sales & Service Co Ltd

"As a producer of PCB inks for high-density packaging, automotive electronics, and aerospace applications, Southeast Asia's proximity to China makes it a key region for our expansion, with Thailand in particular offering robust policy support and high demand for PCB products. The exhibition provided an excellent venue to showcase our products, attracting many visitors, and enabling productive dialogues with professionals from Thailand’s manufacturing sector.”
Mr Chuanhua Cao, Asst General Manager, China S.M Materials Corporation

“Participating in SPS Stage Bangkok at Intelligent Asia Thailand has proven effective through its combination of conference presentations and product displays. The discussions on solutions and market trends attract customers, who then visit our display to experience our solutions first-hand. Today, we've met a wide range of customers from the machinery sector, system integrators and end users. Our main goal is to increase our brand presence in Thailand and connect with key decision-makers, and we're on track to achieve this.”
Mr Hadi Halim, Senior Sales Manager, Wieland Electric Singapore Pte Ltd

"We joined Intelligent Asia Thailand to support our downstream customers' expansion into Southeast Asian markets. Many long-term partners visited our booth for discussions about their production challenges, while we also connected with new PCB industry contacts. As producers of copper-based materials, these direct conversations helped us better understand local market requirements and share our experience in the region."
Ms Yueying Shao, Senior Sales Manager, Jiangxi Jiangnan New Material Technology Co Ltd

Feedback from visitors:

"Through the event, I discovered a variety of promising solutions for our canned fruit operations, particularly robotic packaging systems that could streamline our processes and reduce labour costs. Being able to connect directly with international technology providers from Taiwan, Germany, and other countries makes this event particularly valuable for Thai manufacturers."
Mr Kamphon Thitipak, Manager, Knp and Partner Co Ltd

“This exhibition has aligned perfectly with our business development needs. For example, meeting with I AM, which has experience in the food industry, has been a great opportunity since we normally don't find skilled system integrators in that sector. I've also seen some impressive innovations for the PCB sector, particularly the handling equipment with suction heads. We're already planning follow-up demonstrations with several companies.”
Mr Thanakorn Tantiniranart, Sales & Technical Specialist, Syntech Technology

"Initially, as a manufacturer specialising in automotive parts stamping, assembly and spot welding, I wasn’t sure how relevant this event would be to our operations. But after seeing the automation capabilities on display here, particularly movement and transfer systems, I can see clear benefits for our production line. Even before completing my tour of the event, I had already identified several promising partners. Having access to such a range of innovative solutions helps manufacturers like us identify new opportunities for development."
Mr Thanapat Jitsanop, Business Development Manager, Bangkok Metal Works Co Ltd
 

Feedback from speakers:

“Intelligent Asia Thailand 2025 aligns with BOI’s ongoing efforts to attract new investments into Thailand’s electronics, PCB and automation sectors. Global economic uncertainties have prompted many international manufacturers, including those in the PCB industry, to establish operations in the country, with many bringing their supply chains with them. This platform enables these companies to showcase their production strengths, while local suppliers are able to discover new opportunities and find their place within these emerging supply chains.”
Mr Piyapong Iamchoei, Investment Promotion Officer, Professional Level, The Board of Investment of Thailand

“Speaking at the PCB Stage at Intelligent Asia about Thailand's competitive advantages in electronics manufacturing, including our record foreign investment in 2024 and our Sandbox Programme for workforce development, I found this to be a well-organised exhibition. I felt very comfortable from the moment I entered, the environment was friendly and professional, and we had some smart questions during the Q&A session followed by productive discussions at the counter afterwards.”
Dr Sampan Silapanad, Vice Chairman, THE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY CLUB (EEIC) FTI Academy
