ORGANISERS and exhibitors were
delighted with the response from this
year’s Wire & Cable Guangzhou in
China, which showcased the latest in
cable and wire, machinery and
equipment, and materials and
accessories.
Organised by Guangzhou Guangya
Messe Frankfurt and Guangzhou
BoYou Exhibition Service Co Ltd, the
fair was held from 9th to 12th June at the
China Import and Export Fair Complex
in Guangzhou, China. The fair
welcomed 18,821 visitors from 25
countries and regions and covered
20,000m2 of space across two halls.
Mr Emeka Hu, general manager of
Guangzhou Guangya Messe Frankfurt,
said: “The joint management and
organisation of the 2014 Wire & Cable
Guangzhou was successful. Utilising
our internationally recognised
professionalism in fair management
and organisation, we set out to elevate
this well-regarded domestic show into
a comprehensive international event.
Overall, I am pleased with the results,
and I believe the show’s international
footprint will continue to grow for years
to come.”
Mr Liu Gan, general manager,
Guangzhou BoYou Exhibition Service
Co Ltd, added: “The cooperation with
Messe Frankfurt and their concurrent
events Guangzhou International
Lighting Exhibition and Guangzhou
Electrical Building Technology has
been beneficial. The synergy with
Messe Frankfurt’s lighting and building
fair has proven to be noteworthy, as
some of the exhibitors and visitors
from the neighbouring fair were also
potential buyers at the Wire & Cable
Guangzhou. Our cooperation with
Messe Frankfurt has been fruitful and I
believe the growth prospects for this
event are infinite.”
Both new and returning exhibitors to
Wire & Cable Guangzhou saw the
exhibition as an effective platform for
business expansion on the national
and international level.
For returning machinery supplier
Dongguan Gemwell Electrical
Equipment Co Ltd, the fair provided a
fantastic opportunity to capitalise on
the growing manufacturing markets
across the world.
Mr Xia De Feng, general manager, said:
“This year, we have recorded an
increasing number of electric wire
makers, our target clientele, who came
to our booth to source wire and cable
production machinery. Additionally, we
have also noticed improvements in the
show’s visitor profile as a portion of our
potential clients were from India,
Russia and Southeast Asia. Having
established a stronger international
client base, we aim to export
two-thirds of our products to overseas
markets in the near future.”
During the four-day event, visitors were
impressed by the prominent brands
presented and the diversity of products
and technology displayed in the fair.
A range of concurrent events also
added to the show’s success, covering
the most relevant issues within the wire
and cable sector. Some of the
industry’s most influential experts and
scholars were invited to share their
views on market trends and the latest
industry news. Additionally, the
product presentation allowed various
companies to promote their innovative
products as well as industry
developments.
The next edition of Wire & Cable
Guangzhou is scheduled to take place
from 9 th to 12th June 2015, once again
at the China import and Export Fair
Complex in Guangzhou.
