Koelnmesse exports to the Far East

200 companies from four continents have signed up so far for Practical World Asia. This exhibition, the first of its kind resulting from a cooperative project with the China International Hardware Show (CIHS), will take place in Shanghai from 27 to 29 September 2003. The fair is being organised by Koelnmesse jointly with the China National Hardware Association (CNHA) and will be divided into three sections: “World of Tools”, “World of Security” and “World of Home Improvement/DIY”. The organisers are expecting more than 30 000 visitors to attend from the region.
