Our Company Makes a Strong Showing at the 2026 Vietnam Hanoi International Machine Tool Exhibition; Diamond Grinding Wheels Draw Attention
From August 26 to 28, 2026, the 2nd CMES Vietnam International Machine Tool Exhibition concluded successfully at the Vietnam Exhibition Center (VEC) in Hanoi. As a specialized manufacturer of diamond grinding wheels, our company showcased its core products and explored new opportunities in the Vietnamese precision machining market alongside industry partners from around the globe.
Exhibition Highlights: Doubled Scale, Focus on Precision Machining
As a benchmark event in Vietnam's machine tool and precision machining sector, this year's CMES covered a total exhibition area of 30,000 square meters and brought together over 700 cutting-edge exhibitors from around the world. Held in conjunction with exhibitions for industrial automation and robotics, electronic components and production equipment, and rubber and plastics, the event formed a "Vietnam Super Industrial Joint Exhibition," covering a comprehensive range of products including metal-cutting machine tools, grinding tools and measuring instruments, and machine tool accessories.
The exhibition focused on four key application sectors—automotive and motorcycle parts, 3C electronics, molds, and general machinery—precisely aligning with the procurement needs of industrial clusters in Northern Vietnam. The event fostered a vibrant atmosphere for business negotiations, attracting a large number of procurement managers from local Vietnamese factories and overseas distributors.
Our Booth: Specialized Diamond Grinding Wheel Solutions Garner Interest
Throughout the exhibition, our booth attracted numerous local Vietnamese manufacturers, Chinese-invested factories operating in Vietnam, and regional distributors from Southeast Asia. Our team highlighted our diamond grinding wheel series—featuring various bonding agents such as metal and resin—designed to meet precision grinding requirements for high-hardness materials like cemented carbide, ceramics, glass, and semiconductors.
Our products are highly compatible with the application scenarios for diamond grinding wheels in the Vietnamese market. Demand for abrasives in Vietnam centers on grinding wheels, cutting discs, polishing tools, and superhard materials, with primary applications in automotive parts processing, precision grinding for electronics (such as semiconductor packaging), and mold manufacturing. The team engaged in in-depth discussions with visiting business partners regarding grinding processes, customized solutions, and regional cooperation, successfully identifying a number of high-quality prospective clients.
Market Insight: Strong Demand for Diamond Grinding Wheels; High-End Segment Relies on Imports
Vietnam’s abrasives market is experiencing rapid growth. In 2023, the market size was approximately US$130 million; however, local production capacity remains weak. With 94% of metal processing products—including abrasives—relying on imports, China holds a dominant market share. Local Vietnamese enterprises are predominantly small-scale and fragmented, lacking robust R&D capabilities and relying heavily on imports for high-end products.
Regarding specific diamond grinding wheel categories, Japanese and South Korean companies dominate the high-end market thanks to their precision machining technologies, creating significant technical barriers to entry in sectors like automotive precision component manufacturing. Chinese companies excel in technical adaptability, successfully penetrating the mid-range market through competitive pricing and value propositions. Trade data indicates that in 2025, Japan exported US$12.18 million worth of diamond grinding wheels to Vietnam, while Germany exported approximately US$11.67 million, underscoring the sustained, robust demand for high-end imported diamond grinding wheels in the country.
Currently, electronics giants such as Samsung, Foxconn, and Luxshare Precision are continuously expanding production in Northern Vietnam. This expansion is directly driving demand for equipment upgrades and procurement among local metal processing, automotive component, and mold manufacturing facilities. As Vietnam’s manufacturing sector transitions from manual assembly lines to smart production lines, the demand for high-precision, high-efficiency diamond grinding tools continues to rise.
Outlook: Deepening Presence and Expanding in Southeast Asia
Participating in this exhibition marks a significant step in our strategic expansion into the Southeast Asian market. Over the course of the three-day event, our team gained valuable insights into the specific needs of Vietnam's manufacturing sector regarding diamond grinding wheels and established direct connections with local supply chain partners.
Given Vietnam's hot and humid climate, which places rigorous demands on the weather resistance of abrasive tools, we are committed to continuously optimizing product performance based on local operating conditions and developing customized diamond grinding wheel solutions tailored to the Vietnamese market. Moving forward, our company will continue to monitor grinding-related demands in Vietnam and Southeast Asia and actively participate in regional industry exchanges; by offering products and services that better meet the needs of local customers, we aim to support the upgrading of precision machining capabilities within Vietnam's manufacturing sector.
