GetAhead Supply Chain Solutions to Participate in Thailand’s 2023 Automotive Summit and Manufacturing Expo

GetAhead Pte. Ltd. has successfully participated in the recent Thailand Automotive Summit and a series of renowned trade shows at the Bangkok International Trade & Exhibition Centre (BITEC) from June 21 to June 24.

GetAhead’s focal point on Thailand is due to significant enquiries on Thailand market. To deliver the most accurate information and to have a deeper understanding, GetAhead has decided to look into a large-scale and comprehensive trade show in Thailand. As a trusted advisor for startups, growth companies, and SMEs in South East Asia and India, GetAhead focused on building connections with local suppliers in Thailand and engaging in discussions regarding ongoing sourcing projects and the expansion of its sourcing network in South East Asia.

At the heart of the visit was the highly anticipated Thailand Automotive Summit during which we attentively followed the presentation by Dr. Kriengsak Wongpromrat, President of the Thailand Automotive Institute. Dr. Kriengsak’s insightful talk on Thailand’s transition to Electric Vehicles (EVs) and the country’s ambitious plans to expand EV exports to Australia, India, and Saudi Arabia over the next decade captured the interest of GetAhead’s. The presentation shed light on the future of the automotive industry and highlighted the importance of strategic supplier partnerships in driving sustainable growth.

At GetAhead, we recognize the immense potential of this transition and the new opportunities it provides for sourcing strategies in South East Asia, as more components are becoming locally available.

Thailand’s commitment to promoting sustainable mobility and becoming a significant player in the global EV market aligns perfectly with GetAhead’s objective of assisting startups, growth companies, and SMEs in formulating effective supplier strategies and diversifying their sourcing network in Asia.

Following the Automotive Summit, GetAhead actively participated in the Automotive Manufacturing Expo 2023, Assembly & Automation Technology 2023, NEPCON Thailand 2023, and InterPlas Thailand 2023 trade shows, all held at BITEC. These events offered an invaluable opportunity for GetAhead to connect with local suppliers, gain industry insights, and explore potential collaborations.

The Assembly & Automation Technology 2023 exhibition provided a platform for GetAhead to explore advancements in assembly line technology and industrial automation in Thailand. By engaging with industry experts, the company identified potential partners for our clients capable of delivering innovative solutions to digitalize manufacturing processes with 5G and thereby enhance production and supply chain efficiency.

At NEPCON Thailand 2023, GetAhead engaged with a wide range of suppliers in the electronics manufacturing sector, including the major industry player Delta Electronics (Thailand) PCL, which is renowned for its expertise in power electronics, automation, and energy management solutions. With eight local production sites already established in Thailand, the Taiwanese company has demonstrated its commitment to the region and its plans for further expansion. Through fruitful discussions with Delta Electronics (Thailand) PCL and other prominent players in the electronics industry, GetAhead gained valuable insights into sourcing strategies, cutting-edge technologies, and market trends. These interactions will enable GetAhead to provide comprehensive guidance to its clients, empowering them to capitalize on the expertise and capabilities of Delta Electronics (Thailand) PCL and other industry leaders in the rapidly evolving electronics manufacturing landscape in Thailand.
