The ongoing synergy of combining two industry shows for the second year running and a new venue, all helped to produce a record number of exhibitors and visitors for the 2012 edition of ISH China & CIHE, the China International Trade Fair for Sanitation, Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning, which was held 4 - 6 April 2012 at Beijing's New China International Exhibition Center.
The show, organised by Messe Frankfurt (Shanghai) Co Ltd and B&D Tiger Exhibition Co Ltd, is Asia's biggest industry event.It attracted 816 exhibitors from 20 countries and regions in a total exhibition area of 70,000 sq m, covering five halls.
Mr Richard Li, Deputy General Manager of Messe Frankfurt in China commented: "Each year our combined ISH China & CIHE show continues to be even more successful and this confirms that the merger is of great benefit to the HVAC and sanitation industries.For this year's show we increased exhibition space by 43 percent to showcase a comprehensive range of products tailored to meet Chinese needs."
Mr Li Hongbo, General Manager, Beijing B & D Tiger Exhibition Co Ltd added: "Our new venue has proved to be very popular with exhibitors as it offers better facilities and an opportunity for companies to have larger booths. In fact this year, many exhibitors such as Anhui Anze Electric Co Ltd, Giacomini Heating and Cooling Technology (Beijing) Co Ltd, and German company IVT GmbH & Co KG greatly increased their booth space. What's more, many of this year's exhibitors have already said they want a bigger space at next year's show."
An important part of ISH China & CIHE is the highly-respected Sino European Congress. This year's theme was "Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energies in Buildings".The congress was opened by Mr Ulrich Schmidt, Chairman of the Association of the European Heating Industry.Commenting on the congress he said: "It creates a platform for exchange of industry trends and solutions and fosters energy efficiency. It's our responsibility to exchange existing solutions with countries that still have a lot of potential for energy efficiency. China is a fast growing nation and there is a lot of energy efficiency demand."
The next ISH China & CIHE is scheduled to be held again in Bejing in April 2013 and the new ISH Shanghai & CIHE show will be held 26-28 September 2012 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre, Shanghai, China.For more information, please visit www.ishc-cihe.com or email info@ishc-cihe.com
