ISLAMABAD, Dec 21: The Engineering Development Board (EDB) will take a delegation of engineering companies to the European Machine Tools Show-2007 in Hannover, Germany.

According to an EDB statement, the trade fair, to be held from Sept 17 to 22 promises to open up opportunities for Pakistani engineering companies to observe latest technological trend in the metalworking field, benchmark their products against technological standards and acquire new technologies to compete globally.

This is happening at a time when large investment opportunities have appeared in Pakistan in the field of component manufacturing because of double digit growth in the auto household goods sector.
