KUALA LUMPUR, April 27 (Bernama) -- The Timber Exporters’ Association of Malaysia (TEAM) organized a business mission to Taiwan from 19 April to 25 April 2023. The visit has had its destination set on three cities in Taiwan, namely Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung.

Comprising some of the major exporters of timber products in Malaysia, TEAM is constantly looking to drive the timber industry forward with the acquisition of automation as well as retrofitting of woodworking machinery. Members of TEAM had been long interested in Taiwanese woodworking machinery due to its good quality and performance. 

Hence, the mission included a visit to Wood Taiwan 2023 (20 April to 23 April 2023) at Nangang Exhibition Center, Taipei. As Taiwan’s only international professional exhibition for woodworking machinery, TEAM aims to visit the exhibition to look at the entire industrial chain from the processing of timber to its products, in which machinery is heavily involved. Apart from visiting the exhibition, factory visits to forerunners of the Taiwan woodworking machinery industry are also arranged to allow TEAM members to have a closer look at the industry.

As an association that is committed to promoting timber and timber products from Malaysia, TEAM had persistently showcased the quality of Malaysian timber and timber products to the world. Therefore, the delegation met with the National Union of Timber Trade Association of R.O.C. together with wood importers who are interested to know and import Malaysian tropical timber and timber products. The meeting was held to enhance trade establishment and explore new collaborations between industry members of both countries.

This mission of a delegation of 27 persons, led by the organizing chairman, Mr Chris Tan including the President of TEAM, Mr Chua Song Fong was strongly supported by the Malaysian Timber Council.
