The press conference of the Industrial Materials China 2011 organized by Reed Exhibitions China and the partnership contract signing ceremony were grandly held in Beijing.
The event, long concerned by the industry professionals, was finally unveiled to the public. Leaders from China Non-ferrous Metals Industry Association, Beijing Antaike Information Development Co., Ltd., International Copper Association, China Non-ferrous Metals Industry Association Recycling Metal Branch, and Wood Plastic Composites Committee of China Association of Resources Comprehensive Utilization, and representatives of the event organizer attended the press conference and the contract signing ceremony. The exhibition will be staged at Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC) from July 13 to 15, 2011, the same location and time with Aluminum China 2011, which has been successfully held for 6 editions.
Mr. Chen Yuanpeng, VP of Greater China Region, Reed Exhibitions China, stated that Industrial Materials China 2011 will cover the four major areas of copper, magnesium, composites, and renewable resources & utilization, which are to be independently operated under four brands. Liu Jia, Secretary General of Wood Plastic Composites Committee, Zheng Jiaju, General Manager of Beijing Antaike Information Development Co., Ltd., and Zhou Sheng, President of China and Southeast Asia Region, International Copper Association, delivered key-note speeches at the press conference. After the speeches, Beijing Antaike Information Development Co., Ltd., China Non-ferrous Metals Industry Association Recycling Metal Branch, and Wood Plastic Composites Committee of China Association of Resources Comprehensive Utilization separately signed a partnership agreement with Reed Exhibitions China, proclaiming their full support and all-around guidance for the event next year. The three organizations will cooperate with the Cooper China 2011, the Renewable Resources & Utilization Exhibition, and the Composites China 2011 under the collective brand of the Industrial Materials China 2011, respectively.
Mr. Zheng from Antike said, "The non-ferrous metal industry is growing fast, pulled by the take-off of the national economy. However, how to maintain this sound and sustained development momentum has become the practical concern for the association and various enterprises. Whilst independent innovations in technologies and products are important, it has always been one of the key development strategies for the non-ferrous metal industry and industrial materials industry in China to learn from overseas development modes and to introduce advanced technologies and equipments. With exhibitions being the medium for accelerating the global industry chain integration, domestic trade associations can provide domestic enterprises with access to international resources and the opportunities for promoting industry development through the cooperation with world-leading exhibition organizers."
Mr. Zhou Sheng from the International Copper Association emphasized that "China, as the largest consumer of copper in the world, accounts for 30% of total global demand. China's internal demand has always been in the spotlight of the market. The copper industry in China will develop in the following three directions: 1. Accelerated restructuring progress and establishing large-size copper groups; 2. Speeding up the prosperity and development of mineral resources to improve the self-sufficiency degree of raw materials; 3. The copper processing industry has to take the road of technological innovation. Under such circumstances, resources and technological equipment have become the unbeatable weapon for the global copper enterprises to fight for market share and development space. Leveraging Reed Exhibitions' professional experiences and the abundant resources and vast network of its subsidiaries and international publicity partners all over 93 countries and regions, Cooper China 2011 provides the copper production and processing enterprise in China and in the whole world at large an international face-to-face communication platform, by integrating advantageous resources of the upper and lower copper industry chains, related equipment & echnology suppliers, and relevant application fields."
