Michael Wilton, CEO & Managing Director of MMI Asia, stated in the press conference, “The last edition of ASEAN Ceramics had highlighted for us the untapped potential of the ceramics industry in Southeast Asia. Returning to Vietnam again, we are dedicated to continuing the success of last year’s edition and propel the industry towards making bigger progress on sustainable practices and the use of advanced technologies in ceramics manufacturing. The combination of an unwavering support from ceramic associations in the region and the Vietnamese government’s commitment towards upholding the country’s strong growth rate in the construction sector makes the region a strong contender as the best region for all activities in the Ceramics Industry.”
Mr. Nguyen Minh Tuan, Vice Chairman of VIBCA, expressed in his speech, “In the past recent 10 years, the Southeast Asian ceramic manufacturing industry has been growing rapidly, becoming one of the most vibrant developing regions in the world.
