ComVac ASIA 2014 is co-sponsored by Deutsche Messe AG, the Hannover Milano Fairs Shanghai Ltd, compressor.cn and the COMPRESSOR magazine.

Growing PTC Asia and ComV ac Asia

As Asia's largest and the world’s second largest industrial technology event, PTC ASIA is renowned for its accurate understanding of industry trends and real time tracking of hot industry topics. It has become a perfect platform for launching new products and has received wide recognition among transmission-related businesses from global participants.

The PTC ASIA 2014 is so popular that the exhibition halls that span from pavilion E1 to pavilion E6 are occupied with a 110 percent utilization rate.

The exhibition organizers revealed that 25 percent of exhibitors are newcomers with industry leading products and services.

“They will not only inject fresh blood into PTC ASIA, but also enrich the categories of exhibits and upgrade the industrial chain,” said James Fu, general manager of the Hannover Milano Fairs China.

PTC ASIA 2014 will welcome exhibitors from China, Germany, Italy, Turkey, South Korea and other countries and regions.

ComVac ASIA, which was inaugurated as an independent show from 2013, will welcome more than 170 exhibitors from the global market, an over 20 percent rise year-on-year.

The exhibits are designed to cover the entire supply chain of the compressor and vacuum industry, ranging from complete equipment, main equipment, post-processing, spare parts to lubricants.

Participants will have opportunities to get access to global industrial resources and talk face-to-face with industry leading companies namely Hitachi, Namwon, Sotras, Bosch Rexroth, Zhigao, Kaishan, Fusheng and Hanbell.

“ComVac ASIA will seize the historical opportunities offered by the new economy and new energy movement and set the trends in promoting energy efficient technologies and products in the compressor industry,” Fu says.

Improving exhibition services

Operating in the Chinese market for so many years, Hannover has long committed to improving service quality. It believes that getting a full picture of the market and understanding the industry are important in matching buyers and sellers and establishing trust with clients.

It has launched “Themed Month” activities in 2014, which sent specialists to the auto manufacturing sector, food and pharmaceutical packaging sector before the exhibition to listen to clients’ demand so as to match suitable companies with one another. The movement received recognition among clients.

During the four-day exhibition, a series of high-level forums and conferences featuring experts, senior officials and senior engineers will be held to give participants more inspiration about the industries.
