KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 11 (Bernama) -- Intrade Malaysia 2008 is expected to
generate sales of more than RM3 billion, said its senior director for product

The event, organised by Malaysia External Trade Development Corp (Matrade),

Intrade Malaysia 2008, themed "Optimising Global Opportunities", is aimed
at providing Malaysian companies and entrepreneurs as well as international

the inter-regional and global markets.
Susila said over 340 exhibitors from over 30 countries, among them from
Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, South Korea, Japan and Sudan, were
expected to participate this year.
She said 80 percent of the exhibitors were Malaysian companies from various
industries including food and beverages, automotive, furniture, tiles, building
materials and household items.
"Among the 297 local companies participating in the event are Proton (the
national car maker), Sime Darby (multi national company), DRB HICOM (automotive

KL
Sentral and KLCC.
"The event is open to the public from Nov 15-16," she said.

and services from around the world.
