Welcome Message On behalf of UBM Asia (Thailand), I am delighted to welcome all exhibitors and visitors from ASEAN countries and around the world to ASEANbeauty 2019, Southeast Asia’s flagship professional trade show for cosmetics, health and wellness. This year's exhibition is the 5th edition of ASEANbeauty, still is the most comprehensive one of its kind. As the first major beauty and wellness trade event of the year, ASEANbeauty 2019 features over 350 local and international exhibitors from more than 20 countries, all of which are ready to showcase their innovations and a wide range of beauty products and services. Moreover, new pavilions from Europe and Asia are added to the event covering most of the latest beauty trends in every key market of the world. We expect to welcome more than 12,000 trade visitors, quality buyers, distributors, retailers, industry influencers and beauty experts from 60 countries, to display numerous beauty solutions offered by our valued exhibitors. Over the show period, I am confident that you will explore endless opportunities. The event not only offers the latest beauty products and services, but also serves as a platform for the business development of the entire beauty industry, providing highly effective tools such as the Hosted Buyer Programme and Online Business Matching Programme. Other highlights include informative seminars on the beauty updates, interesting international conferences full of industry insights and live product demonstrations by leading exhibitors. Beauty workshops are also available for you to enjoy throughout the three-day exhibition. Mr. M. Gandhi Group Managing Director (ASEAN Business) and Senior Vice President, UBM Informa Asia I could not be more certain that ASEANbeauty 2019 will follow in the successful footsteps of its previous editions, as it has gained support from both public and private sectors as always.
