Curtain falls on country’s first-ever industrial fair ‘ATS Expo’

Bangladesh’s first-ever industrial expo titled ‘International Advanced Components and Technology (ATS) Expo-2023’, hosted by Walton, has been wrapped up with huge responses at the International Convention City Bashundhara (ICCB) in the capital.

Planning minister MA Mannan attended the ‘ATS Expo’s closing ceremony as the chief guest at the ICCB Hall-1 on Saturday evening, reports news agency UNB.

Commerce Secretary Tapan Kanti Ghosh, Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority (BEZA) Executive Chairman Shaikh Yusuf Harun, Directorate of National Consumers’ Right Protection’s Director General A H M Shafiquzzaman, among others, were present as the special guests.

Addressing the closing ceremony, the planning minister said, “I feel very proud when heard the news that Walton participated in the fair in Las Vegas, exported products to Germany. Earlier I thought - only Japan, China and the developed countries can produce technology products and components; we can’t. But in ATS Expo, Walton showed the ability of Bangladesh in manufacturing industrial products and technology products.”

Speaking at the occasion, Walton Hi-Tech Vice-Chairman S M Shamsul Alam said, “The ATS Expo was successful. We got more response than expected. Important persons of many domestic and foreign companies visited the fair.”
