Highly praised by former exhibitors, booth reservations are selling out quickly
Among the more than 1,700 exhibitors participating in the 2018 edition are many loyal supporters who have been growing with wire & Tube China for over a decade.
Some of the main reasons cited by the supporters for their patronisation are: ‘highly effective’, ‘high quality buyers’, ‘intensive orders from the exhibition’.
Wafios Germany CFO Dr. Christoph Müller-Mederer said at the 2016 exhibition: “The biennial wire & Tube China gathers high-quality buyers from China and many neighboring countries.
“Some clients have already placed orders during the event. This exhibition has become an important step for Wafios to tap the Asian market potential, and it is believed that the industry will get better with the advancement of industry 4.0.”
Han’s Laser Technology Industry Group director of sheet metal equipment division Xia Jianjie added: “Through this exhibition, we met a lot of professional buyers looking for precision pipe cutting technology, which helps Han’s Laser to increase their market share.
“I am very satisfied with the outcome of attending this exhibition. We look forward to meet more friends and upstream and downstream players of the pipe processing industry.”
It is by virtue of the ‘visible and tangible’ effect, as well as word of mouth among exhibiting brands that the organisers received many renewal request once the booth reservations for the 2018 edition opened up.
To date, a number of established companies confirmed their participation, the most well-known being Zumbach, Suzuki-Sumiden, Nexteck, Haicheng Greatx, Pan-Pioneer, Cheng I, Unistron, Xiaoxuan, Proton, Esteve, Markem-Imaje, Dainichiseika, Xintai, Yeswin, Thermatool, Kinkelder, Euro-me, WIKUS and Formdrill.
