The ATS Expo-2023 managed by Walton is scheduled to be held from 10th to 12th August, 2023 at the Hall No 1 of International Convention Center Bashundhara in the capital.

In this regard, Golam Murshed, Managing Director and CEO of Walton Hi-Tech Industries PLC, said that the main objective of organizing the ATS Expo is to increase the domestic industries' empowerment by providing quality industrial materials, components and testing solutions to the leading industrial organizations, strengthen the growth of the industrial sector, save billions of dollars foreign currencies cutting the import bills, increase export earnings and accelerate the national economic prosperity.

He also said, ATS Expo will be the first and largest international industrial fair of a single organization in Bangladesh. More than 50,000 sorts of environment-freindly green technology energy saving electrical, electronics, home and kitchen appliance products, industrial materials, components, testing labs, facilities and machinery will be displayed in this expo. From now, this expo will be organized every year to attract the attention of domestic and foreign buyers. We have a plan to organize such exhibitions outside the country.

Along with the manufacturing plants, country's largest research and innovation center and several international standard testing labs, including NUSDAT-UTS, have been built at the Walton headquarters at Walton headquarters in Chandra Gazipur.
