Thread Content
“The \"China International Chemical Industry Exhibition\" was first held in 1992. Over the course of 22 years, it has evolved alongside the development of China’s petrochemical industry, and has now become an industry event that is widely recognized and actively participated in by professionals in the oil and chemical sectors both at home and abroad. It enjoys a high reputation and is considered an authoritative exhibition in this field. The exhibition has been held alternately in Shanghai and Tianjin since 2012. The exhibition has been committed to promoting international exchanges and foreign trade in the petrochemical industry, contributing to the improvement of the industrial structure of China’s petrochemical sector, and playing an important role in advancing the international development of China’s petroleum and chemical industry. The exhibition held in Tianjin in 2014 brought together over 400 exhibitors from 12 ** and regions, with an exhibition area of 20,000 square meters. “The 14th China International Chemical Industry Exhibition 2015 is scheduled to be held from September 16 to 18, 2015, at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition Hall.

The reporter learned from the organizers of the exhibition that the 2015 China International Chemical Industry Exhibition is expected to see over 450 exhibitors, with more than 15,000 professional visitors and high-end buyers from home and abroad. In terms of the layout of the exhibition areas, this edition will continue to use a segmented approach to display various products. The exhibition will feature a comprehensive area for petroleum and chemical products, an area for overseas companies, areas for fine and specialty chemicals, a dyes section, an area for basic chemical raw materials, an area for chemical equipment and automation, as well as a themed area dedicated to green chemistry. The detailed classification of exhibits enables the themed exhibition areas to highlight industry trends, allowing traders and visitors to find the products they need more efficiently, quickly, and with greater focus.
I’m not sure how it will go this time. Last April, we were scammed at the International Exhibition on Industrial Catalysis Technology and Applications held at the Shanghai Cross-Border Procurement Exhibition Center. Our group of four traveled a long distance of 2,000 miles to get there, only to find that the exhibition was combined with one on daily household chemicals. There wasn’t any signage or information related to this exhibition anywhere around the venue; there was only one catalyst-related company there. It was really frustrating. Now, just the thought of exhibitions in Shanghai makes my hair stand on end.
