To further assist the industry in augmenting the supply of timber raw materials,MTC organised its Overseas Suppliers-Malaysian Importers/ManufacturersExchange programme for the �rst time, held at the MTC headquarters in KualaLumpur on 25 September 2018.
“The programme is part of our continuing e�orts and serves as a platform forbusiness matching sessions between Malaysian importers and/or manufacturerswith overseas suppliers,” said MTC CEO Richard Yu.
He added that MTC has been playing a pivotal role in the development of theindustry through several programmes under its Import Assistance Programme(IAP), which are the Direct Sourcing Programme, Industrial Testing Programmeand Mission Participation Incentive.
The IAP, launched by MTC since 2004, is an o�-shore sourcing programme fortimber raw materials. The programme is aimed at encouraging the developmentof small-and medium-enterprises (SMEs) of the timber industry in PeninsularMalaysia that are involved in manufacturing downstream value-added productsfor both, the domestic and export markets.
“The programme facilitates local timber manufacturers to import timber rawmaterials by defraying part of the freight and handling charges,” he said, addingthat MTC has increased its �nancial assistance under the IAP in 2018 toencourage more value-added downstream processing by SMEs.
The exchange programme was participated by six suppliers from Chile and twosuppliers from Canada. The timber raw materials o�ered by the suppliers rangedfrom hardwood and softwood sawn timber to decorative veneer.
A total of 62 participants from 42 Malaysian companies registered for theprogramme. Representatives from 38 of the Malaysian companies participated inthe Business Matching Session which followed.
MTC’s e�ort to organise incoming overseas timber suppliers for businessmatching was very well-received by the Malaysian participants. The overseassuppliers too reported of having very productive sessions with the local companyrepresentatives.
As a follow through and extension of this e�ort, MTC would be organising aMalaysia Wood Mart showcasing and matching suppliers with buyers fromMalaysia and across this region in 2019.
