The third Practical World Asia will be held October 11-13, 2005, in Shanghai, China. The trade show is co-located with the China International Hardware Show.
More than 1,500 suppliers from 20 countries are expected to attend Practical Word Asia, with about 65% first time exhibitors.
The trade show includes tools, security, locks & fittings and home improvement categories.
With a growth rate of 9.5% for 2004 the Chinese economy exceeded most grow projections, according to show promoters. The preparations for the Olympic Games 2008 in Beijing cause observers to expect a continuing increase in consumer demand. Web: practicalworld-asia.com \ �2005 FastenerNews.com
