Show Overview:
The Guangzhou International Lighting Fair, and its partner exhibition Electrical Building Technology China, cemented its position last week as the leading event for the lighting and building automation industry in Asia, when over 40,000 visitors and 1,250 exhibitors converged upon the Guangzhou International Convention & Exhibition Centre for four days. The show was marked by extremely high internationality on both sides, with over 20% of the visitors (8,380) coming from overseas.
Exhibitors at the fair remarked on the much improved quality of the visitors, and on the increased level of professional and technical knowledge of buyers on-site. Visitors found a wide range of products for modern buildings, grouped into seven major categories; technical & exterior lighting, domestic lighting, professional lights, electric lights, accessories and electronic components, light control, management & measurement systems, and light production & measurement equipment. On the building automation side, electrical engineering, solar energy technology, lifts & escalators and HVAC products were shown.
The Guangzhou fair serves a dual purpose: to assist Chinese manufacturers and suppliers increase their export business, and to find new buyers within China for foreign and domestic products. While some foreign suppliers have made Guangzhou a regular event in their exhibition schedule for years, others joined the fair for the first time in 2006, and many were impressed with the results. |
