Shanghai International Exhibition Co Ltd announced that the four-day SHANGHAITEX 2006 closed successfully.
The event was held at the new Shanghai International Exhibition Center, and officially closed on July 8.
Over 700 companies from 19 countries and regions attended the exhibition, including two delegations from America and Taiwan. The exhibition space exceeded 50,000 square meters.
Shanghaitex 2006 integrates the resources of a series of professional textile exhibitions by turning them into one large professional show for the first time, which includes the Shanghai International Garment Industry Exhibition, Shanghai International Knitwear Industry Exhibition and China (Shanghai) International Textile Equipment Exhibition.
After their integration, the exhibition is now more professional and more focused on facilitating exhibitors to make choices in line with the specific situations and time arrangements. As a result, huge manpower and financial resources are saved and the exhibition efficiency and results are also greatly enhanced.
The exhibition witnessed 50,493 attendees from 47 countries and regions and 26 Chinese provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, including 2,937 overseas professionals. A total of 83 reporters, including 29 overseas reporters, reported on events at the exhibition.
Deals made on site, during the exhibition, were very satisfactory. Upon closure, the import and export volume had reached $20 million, and the domestic trade concluded on site was RMB550 million. Deals for other equipment are also still under negotiation.
