CHINAPLAS 2013, which is going to stage its 27th edition from May 20-23, 2013 at the China Import and Export Pazhou Complex, Guangzhou, PR China, will demonstrate how the Adsale team has managed the change with a positive attitude and created another record high for the show in such a difficult economic situation.

Occupying an exhibition area of 220,000sqm, CHINAPLAS 2013 is now Asia’s No. 1 and the world’s No.2 in the plastics and rubber industries. Stanley Chu points out that currently the increasing labour cost is the issue of most concern in China and the international market. The sluggish international economic situation has led to a decrease in exports from China and the shifting of her manufacturers to the inland provinces and Southeast Asia.

"At the same time, China’s development model has changed from being exported-oriented to one that promotes domestic consumption and high-end manufacturing technology. CHINAPLAS 2013 is alert to this trend and will exhibit many high-end manufacturing machines and a range of automated equipment. The team has also increased its effort to promote the exhibition to visitors from Asia and China and in doing so captured new business opportunities brought by urbanization.

"CHINAPLAS 2013 will gather more than 2,900 exhibitors from 38 countries and regions as well as having 14 country and regional pavilions displaying over 3,200 different energy-saving plastics and rubber machines, plus a wide range of green chemicals and raw materials. It is expected that the show will welcome 115,000 visitors from around the world.

With the business environment becoming more and more challenging, exhibitors attach greater importance to the effectiveness of their participation. To meet exhibitors’ expectations on their return on investment in participating, the organizing team held a series of buyers’ activities to reinforce networking and interaction between exhibitors and buyers.

For example, plastics industry forums were held in Bangkok, Thailand, and Jakarta, Indonesia, in March, while a plastics seminar tailor-made for home appliance manufacturers was held in Shunde, Guangdong, China. All these pre-show activities were effective in mobilizing both overseas and local buyers, and helped expand exhibitors’ business networks.

Stanley Chu says, “The record-breaking scale of CHINAPLAS 2013 hinges on the positive and proactive attitudes of our staff. This further proves the importance of staff training. The participation of Adsale in the UFI Education Award competition demonstrates our great attention to training and that we regard our staff as valuable assets and partners.

"This year, the Adsale Groupcelebrates its 35th anniversary and this award marks a new milestone in the Group’s history and stands testament to the fruitful contribution made jointly by our staff.”
