The joint exhibition of TaipeiPLAS, dedicated to plastic and rubber industries, and ShoeTech Taipei, which focuses on shoe-making equipment, has been postponed over coronavirus (COVID-19) concerns.
Taiwan's machinery industry, which relies heavily on exports, has been impacted due to the pandemic, TAITRA said in a statement. Taiwan’s machinery industry generated approximately NT$1.1 trillion (US$36.4 billion) in sales in 2019.
In response, TAITRA has launched a number of online events, such as virtual trade shows, international conferences, and promotional events. The organization also said it set up product launch events and meetings with potential buyers. [FULL STORY]
