The Philippine manufacturing sector is set for a major boost with the launch of Philippine Manufacturing Week 2026, a unified B2B platform combining two major industry gatherings: the Auto Parts and Vehicles Expo Philippines (APVE Expo 2026) and the Philippine Die and Mould Machineries and Equipment Exhibition (PDMEX 2026).
Scheduled from July 23 to 25 at the World Trade Center Metro Manila, the three-day event is designed to bring together automotive manufacturing, precision engineering, tooling, and advanced industrial technology sectors under one roof.
Organizers say the consolidation reflects a strategic move to strengthen collaboration across closely linked industries, particularly automotive production and die-and-mould manufacturing. By integrating these sectors into a single ecosystem event, they aim to improve supply chain visibility, speed up business partnerships, and enhance the Philippines’ competitiveness as a regional manufacturing hub.
The event will gather manufacturers, suppliers, investors, technology providers, and policymakers for exhibitions, technical forums, and structured business matching sessions. These activities are intended to help companies showcase innovations while directly engaging potential buyers and partners across the value chain.
Industry stakeholders also highlight the importance of aligning automotive supply chains with precision tooling capabilities, noting that die and mould technologies remain foundational to scalable and efficient parts production.
With its expanded scope and integrated format, Philippine Manufacturing Week 2026 is positioned as a flagship platform for industrial modernization, investment promotion, and deeper manufacturing collaboration in the Philippines.
