The fourth Labelexpo Asia 2009, taking place at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre in Shanghai from the December 1-4, has sold more than 75 per cent of exhibition space and visitor numbers are expected to surpass the last event by more than 1000.
Organisers say the last event in 2007 attracted over 14,000 visitors and over 200 exhibitors and the 2009 event is already set to expect over 250 exhibitors with an audience of over 15,000 visitors including label printers and brand owners.With the Chinese label printing industry continuing to develop rapidly with an increasing number of high profile brands moving into China the demand for labels in the region continues grow. Because so much of the world’s manufacturing takes place in China, this is where many of the labelling processes take place, right in the centre of the industry, according to organisers.
New exhibitors at Labelexpo Asia this year include Xeikon and Beiren Fuji with Shanghai Xinmin Taiyo increasing its exhibition space to be able to have more machinery on show.
This year there will be a seminar programme across the first three days with three keynote presentations and case studies, presented by industry experts where delegates will be able to learn about the latest trends and technologies.
Roger Pellow, managing director of Labelexpo says, “China continues to be one of the world’s most exciting label markets. Many recent advances in label technology, both in China and around the world, provide extraordinary opportunities for label converters and manufacturers.”
He continues, “It will be fantastic to be back in Shanghai with visitors and exhibitors alike benefiting from doing business, sharing knowledge and, most importantly, networking and setting up new partnerships and contracts.”
