by Rebecca Walker — May 25, 2009—Despite the global economic crisis, the exhibitor take-up rates for participation at the Building Maintenance and Asset Management Expo Asia 2009 (BMAM Expo Asia 2009) has been better than expected. FMLink is the official facilities management publication of the conference.
This positive response from the industry clearly reflects the strong market demand for effective cost saving solutions amidst the current economic climate, note the conference organizers.
Facility owners and managers in Thailand and the surrounding Southeast Asian region are facing a variety of constraints and challenges, such as shrinking maintenance budgets. There is a greater understanding that conserving resources can save money, spurring interest in building systems and high performance solutions that combat rising costs.
Facility systems such CAFM and CMMS are attracting strong interests from facility owners and managers as they look for effective solutions that can assure their building assets are fully utilized at the lowest possible costs, while maximizing the benefits to their building’s lifecycle. Preventive maintenance and condition monitoring solutions are also gaining prominence, replacing the traditional use and replace” policies.
This newfound urgency to maximize efficiency and value of building assets is pushing up demands for integrated facilities management and outsourcing solutions to achieve sound energy management, cost control and containment and quality assurance. Asia’s facility maintenance and asset management market is expected to enjoy unprecedented growth in the coming years.
It is against this market backdrop that BMAM Expo Asia 2009 is being staged in response to the market demands and interests across Asia. Taking place in Bangkok September 3-5, 2009, this international exhibition and conference will bring together all key players in the business and market under one roof.
