SHANGHAI, June 30 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- PTC ASIA 2009 will grandly open at Shanghai New International Expo Center from 26 to 29 October. The 4-day show, covering a total display area of over 60,000 sqm, is expected to accommodate 1,350 exhibitors from both home and abroad presenting state-of-the-art products and technologies of fluid and mechanical transmission. 60,000 trade visitors from over 80 countries are anticipated to attend the grand fair looking for business opportunities.
As global economic recession brings grave challenges to domestic industry of power transmission and control, Chinese government has adopted a series of measures to speed up the restructuring of equipment manufacturing industry -- a clear confirmation of the industry's status of prominence with regard to national economy. As an infrastructural sector which provides technological equipment for national economy and defence, mechanical equipment manufacturing industry plays a critical role in pushing forward economic restructuring, speeding up industrial upgrade, boosting domestic demand and developing national economy in a sustainable way. Therefore, PTC ASIA, as a trade fair for the whole sector of mechanical power transmission, will as well benefit from Chinese governmental policies. With a growing demand for parts and components for mechanical engineering, the show is expected to take on a dynamic scene. Authorities are expecting a 47.5 billion Yuan growth in demand for hydraulics, pneumatics and sealing technology. Also, the accelerating industrialization of parts and components sector has generated strong demand for independent research and development, more investment as well as more effective production. With the upbeat outlook, the coming year will witness a new revival of PTC industry and a prominent development of PTC ASIA as the sector's leading exhibition.
Themed upon various categories of technological achievements within power transmission and control sector, PTC ASIA 2009 will serve as a platform displaying a combination of products for mechanical power transmission, electrical power transmission and parts, compressed air technology, mechanical parts, fasteners, springs, bearings, internal combustion engines, information technology, micro-electronic technology, computer technology, automatic control technology and new materials. To grab this opportunity for industrial restructuring and product upgrading, legions of domestic companies have taken initiative to play a part in the show in the hope of expanding the application of their products and technologies in the fields of transportation, industrial equipment manufacturing, infrastructure, automobile and new energy. Up till now, a line-up of Chinese industrial giants have booked their booths at the show which include Beijing Hade, Yuci, High-Tech, Dazhong, Lixin, LEEMIN, Shanghai Electric Hydraulics & Pneumatics, Zhenjiang Hydraulics, Jingcheng, BUCCMA, Sunbun, Guizhou Liyuan, Ningbo Sono, Zhaoqing Fangda, Shanghai Xinyi, Ningbo Easun, Ningbo Huayi, Ningbo Jiaerling, Guangzhou Mechanical Engineering Research Institute, Hangzhou, Unibear, Zhejiang Hengjiu, Donghua Chain, Shijiazhuang Sprocket, Changzhou Reducer. While consolidating their current status in the domestic market, companies are taking extra effort to expand the global influence of their self-owned brand and innovative products, competing to seize an advantageous position in both domestic and international markets. Though negatively impacted by economic slowdown, European and American manufacturers still take PTC ASIA 2009 as a favorable turn for them to recover from the recession and explore deeper into the Chinese market. A number of industrial gurus like Bosch Rexroth, Stauff, Park Hannifin, Atos, Hydac, Gates-EMB, HAWE, Manuli, OFIMA, BALLUFF, Sears, Internormen, ERITRON, MetalWork, Pneumax, ASCO, NOK, SKF Economos, SEW, Siemens, Bonfiglioli, Nissei, SITI, Nord, Motovario, OKI, ZOLLERN, Samyang, SPG, Anyun, Shell, Transtec Heavy Industry, Wulf, Optibelt, Gates Unitta, Bando, RINGSPANN, Mayr, KTR were registered for the trade fair a long time ago. Providing a welcome jolt for power transmission industry, the meeting of domestic and overseas powers will demonstrate again the status of PTC ASIA 2009 as the largest exhibition of its kind in Asia and the second on the global arena.
This year, PTC ASIA will continue to feature powerful support from industrial associations from both home and abroad such as CETOP, EUROTRANS, VDMA, ASSOFLUID, BFPA, NFPA. Presentations made by exhibition delegations from all over the world will add great charm to PTC ASIA as a world-leading international trade fair of power transmission and control industry.
Furthermore, a series of professional events will take place during the show, including 2009 Forum on Power Transmission and Control Technology, China International Forum on the Development of Mechanical Transmission Industry, Forum on the Trend of 2009 Domestic Compressor Research, 2009 Annual Forum of China Springs Manufacturers Association, 2009 Annual Forum of China Fasteners Manufacturers Association, Seminar on China Agricultural Machinery and the Supply and Demand of Heavy Tractors and Auxiliary Equipment, 2009 Summit Forum of Fastener Industry by Gasgoo. These high-caliber seminars and forums will provide professionals with an excellent platform to exchange ideas and in concerted efforts seek better solutions. Actively responding to the National Plan for Restructuring and Revitalization of the Equipment Manufacturing Industry, PTC ASIA 2009 will set up "University and College High-tech Pavilion" where high-tech achievements of higher education institutions will be displayed to visitors. The strong association between college and enterprise will prompt the industrial application of university research findings and independent innovation of the enterprises, and in turn contribute to the growth of fluid and mechanical transmission industry.
To maximize the influence of PTC ASIA 2009, the organizer has made full use of various resources to promote the show via advertisements, emails and electronic newsletters. Moreover, the organizer has spared no effort to invite a number of honored buyers to the show from major sectors of infrastructure, railway, transportation and wind power. Organized by China Hydraulic, Pneumatic and Seals Industry Association, China General Machinery Parts Association, Deutsche Messe and Hannover Fairs Shanghai Ltd., PTC ASIA 2009 will take place in conjunction with CeMAT ASIA 2009 at a single place. The two world-leading exhibitions together will not only provide business with great opportunities under tough economic climate, but also build up a bridge for technological exchange between home and abroad.
