Supporting Melco Resorts & Entertainment’s efforts towards the advancement and strengthening of Macau’s Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), the Company recently inaugurated the ‘Knowing You, Knowing Us’ campaign with a seminar on Operating Supplies & Equipment (OS&E) and Printing Categories standards and vendor experience tour for more than 50 local SMEs, including business members of the Macao Chamber of Commerce, Industrial Association of Macau and Macau Union Suppliers Association. The event was attended by more than 80 representatives from SMEs of varying sectors, including Marketing, Printing, OS&E, Room Accessories and Information Technology.
The ‘Knowing You, Knowing Us’ campaign is developed with the aim to serve as a communications platform between SMEs and Melco, to introduce Melco’s procurement categories and procedures, enabling SMEs to develop a better understanding of Melco’s operational requirements, and at the same time, helping SMEs identify products and services they can offer Melco and the industry. The event’s participants were invited on a tour of Melco’s integrated resort, Studio City, to experience the property from the perspective of guests, and thus allowing SMEs the chance to gather a deeper understanding of how their products and services may be utilized. The day’s activities concluded with a business matching session, where SMEs showcased their products to Melco’s Supply Chain representatives, and Melco also displayed OS&E and Printing products it currently uses, for further discussions.
Mr. Donald Tateishi, Senior Vice President, Finance, Melco Resorts & Entertainment, said, “Putting into effect our Chairman & CEO Mr. Lawrence Ho’s philosophy of supporting local SME business development, Melco continues to provide business opportunity priority to SMEs which offer suitable products and services for our integrated resorts’ discerning guests. Through establishing and implementing the ‘Knowing You, Knowing Us’ campaign for enhanced communications between ourselves and SMEs, such as workshops, seminars and open days, we hope to expand Melco’s procurement from local vendors and support their development. We look forward to announcing a series of further initiatives in the coming months, where local SMEs and Melco will have the chance to establish detailed dialogue and understanding, to identify opportunities and business prospects so that we may work together towards a sustainable future for Macau and the Greater Bay Area.”
A business matching session saw SME representatives meet with Melco’s Supply Chain team to showcase and discuss their products and requirements.
