Asia’s International Exhibition & Conference on Building Maintenance and Asset Management Industry

PRLog (Press Release) – Mar 26, 2008 – BANGKOK, Thailand - With rapid expansion and transformation of Asian industries along with rising financial pressures, businesses across the region now see the importance of maintaining their building assets, facilities and plants. As companies focus on core business and improvement on thin operating margins, integrated facilities management is gaining prominence against a backdrop of emerging trends such as privatizations, the REIT markets, corporate restructuring, outsourcing practices, cost savings, emphasis on green platforms, etc.

As more building and facility owners and managers realize the benefits of maintenance instead of the traditional “use and replace” policies, there are growing interests in preventive maintenance solutions and building asset management solutions through integrated facilities management and outsourcing of non-core activities ranging from housekeeping, food services, engineering work, and energy management to an array of other soft services.

Building Maintenance & Asset Management Expo Asia 2008 (BMAM Expo Asia 2008) is staged in respond to the emerging market demands and increasing interests in this industry in Asia. This event is scheduled to take place at IMPACT Exhibition and Conference Center, Bangkok, Thailand from 25th to 26th September 2008.
