users will find listings from manufacturers and distributors of welding machines and
accessories serving countries such as Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, Philippines, UAE,
Thailand, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Japan, Singapore, Israel, Kuwait, India, Iran,
Indonesia, Vietnam, South Korea, Pakistan, China, Kazakhstan and other markets
throughout Asia and the Middle East.

\"Our new publication is utilized by companies all over the globe to locate suppliers
of all kinds of welding products in the region,\" says Frank Wallace, Business
Director and Chief Editor of the Worldwide Industrial Marketplace. He added,
\"Whether you\'re a welding company in Tokyo-Yokohama, Japan in need of new welders or
a metal fabricator in Seoul-Incheon, South Korea seeking welding helmets. Our new
directory will connect you with a number of suitable suppliers serving local,
national and international markets.\"

Previously, the Worldwide Industrial Marketplace became an authorized search partner
of the co-op industrial-focused search engine http://www.IndustrialCOOP.com.
According to Wallace, the relationship resulted in WIM nearly doubling its user base
last year which he fully expects to triple this year.

Wallace, a 54-year old native of New York City was recently awarded as \'Entrepreneur
of the Year\' by the company\'s President and CEO Donald LaBelle, which he says is
shocked to have won. \"I\'m honored, Donnie is not your ordinary business executive,\"
says Wallace. \"He has a demanding presence and looks more like a UFC fighter than a
CEO. Yet, he lives a quiet and modest life running his empire from a small townhouse
in a sleepy Massachusetts town.\"
