Global Sources claims strong bookings for debut Lat Am fair

AMERICAS – Asian-specialist Global Sources claims it has sold out its inaugural 2012 China Sourcing Fairs in Brazil.
 
The organiser says the combined events, to be held in Sao Paulo, will be the largest exhibitions of China-made products in Brazil.
 
The China Sourcing Fairs in Brazil will feature more than 500 supplier booths from Greater China and India and will be managed by Milton Exhibits under license from Global Sources.
 
The events will be held 14-16 August 2012 at the Imigrantes Exhibition Center, Sao Paulo. The co-located shows will cover electronics, gifts and premiums, garments and textiles, and hardware and building materials, mainly from suppliers in Greater China. The shows also include a selection of products from India manufacturers at the co-located India Sourcing Fair.
 
“Brazil has proven itself a critical trading partner to China as evidenced by the booming growth rate of 30 per cent year-on-year in exports from mainland China in 2011,” said president of Global Sources Exhibitions Tommy Wong. “Moreover, mainland China is Brazil's largest trading partner. This further supports the Chinese government's implementation of their 'going out' strategy - an export-focused policy in key emerging markets that supports growing demand for reliable and competitive China products.”
 
The Brazil China Sourcing Fairs are the most recent additions to the series of fairs held in the up-and-coming markets of Dubai, Mumbai, Johannesburg, and Miami, which also serves Latin America.
 
The events are supported by the Brazil-China Chamber (CCIBC) which will arrange trade-matching sessions for buyers and exhibitors in addition to sending liaisons to the fairs.
