- Three shows Held in Conjunction to Lead the Trend of Industry

This morning, Metalworking and CNC Machine Tool Show (MWCS), Industrial Automation Show (IAS) and Energy Show (ES) of China International Industry Fair 2009 grandly kicked off at Shanghai New International Expo Centre. The three shows attract than 1,025 exhibitors to showcase their state-of-the-art products and technologies of metalworking, machine tools, automation and energy technology on a total display area of 75,000 square meters. The 5-day show is expecting more than 100,000 visitors from home and abroad to seek business opportunities.

 “The fact that the shows buck the depressing economic trend to grow reflects that China’s economy is embracing an early recovery and industries start to grow again. With the introduction of the National Plan for Adjusting and Revitalizing the Equipment Manufacturing Industry by Chinese government early this year, the market is breeding huge opportunities for basic industries and large-scale equipment manufacturing industry. The three shows held in conjunction will provide domestic and international suppliers with a perfect platform to showcase their products and expand the Chinese market. ”states Dr. Andreas Gruchow, member of the board at Deutsche Messe AG.

With a feature of numerical-control, precision and high efficiency, MWCS 2009 presents a series of metal forming machines which include sheet metal cutting machines, CNC Turret Punching machines, punch and shear presses, automatic production line, CNC bending machines and bending center, etc. The show also embraces exhibitors in the sector of metal cutting machine tools among which were UMPF, Bystronic, Mitsubishi, Mazak, Hanslaser, Jiangsu Yawei, JINAN JFMMRI JIEMAI, LFK, Tailift, etc.. They have brought their key products like lathes, machine centers, grinding machines and boring-milling machines. Besides, manufacturers have also showed their state-of-the-art products of fixture, measuring machines, digital control system and machine tool accessories during the trade fair.

As the largest and most professional show for the automation sector, IAS 2009 scintillates the charisma of the industry by providing an ideal trading platform for manufacturers, dealers and buyers. At the same time, “Industrial Safety” becomes one of the main themes of IAS featuring an exciting show of robot automation technology.

IAS 2009 is no doubt a perfect binding of industry automation and factory automation and is sure to arouse a new phase to automation application and industry upgrading.

With the fast expansion of China’s power industry, the sectors of power generation, transmission and distribution are now gaining enormous momentum. To fit in with the goal of saving energy and reducing emission, the organizer of the trade fair has refined the energy categories, integrating resources from sectors like power generation equipment, electric power and engineering, power measurement and control instrument, electrical automatic control system, power transmission, distribution and accessories. The famous suppliers include ABB, Siemens, Shneider, SIBA, Muhr, Fuji, Shanghai Electrical Group, ECC Group, LiangXin Electrical, Tianshui 213, HUATONG, etc.. Energy Show 2009 provides an ideal platform for technological exchange between foreign suppliers and domestic consumers.

Apart from the display of products and technology, a rich lineup of high-quality events will be held for industrial promotion. These conferences convened a legion of experts, scholars, product users and manufacturers to hold in-depth discussions about the future trend of the industries. Among the concurrent events were “Ringier Technology Innovation Awards 2009-Metalworking”、 “Industrial Safety Forum—an academic symposium on the new development of systematic and controlling technology”、“Forum on Energy Conservation & Emission Reduction”, Control and Optimize Technology on Coal-fired Power Plant’s Cleaner Production, “Energy Equipment & Technology Seminar 2009”, etc. Through active international promotion, the organizer successfully invited a large number of professional buyers from mechanical chemistry and metallurgical industries. One of the largest industrial association of the U.S.A.- the Association for Manufacturing Technology- also attended the fair with its member organizations and presented the newest products and latest information to the domestic machine tool industry.

MWCS, IAS and ES 2009 are co-organized by Deutsche Messe, Hannover-Messe International GmbH, Hannover Milano Fairs Shanghai and Shanghai World Expo (Group).
