Some of the leading industrial trade fairs have witnessed and played a significant part in China’s rise to become the manufacturing power center of the world that it is. In an otherwise closely guarded economy, international trade fairs have managed to bring together thousands of domestic and international buyers and sellers under one roof in a short span of time. There are many ways and sources to look for products and suppliers, but trade fairs have their own charm. They do not just gather together all the significant players from the industry but also enable visitors to see large number of products at the same time, to evaluate and compare them, to attend demonstrations and to ask in-depth questions. These multinational gatherings of products, technologies, enterprises and people, provide a comprehensive overview of the entire market and the industry. Power, Transmission and Control Asia or PTC Asia and asian leg of the globally renowned brand CeMAT are two such examples of powerful and impactful international trade fairs. Power transmission and control Asia 2018 In the last 20 years, Power Transmission and Control (PTC) Asia, the industrial trade fair organized in Shanghai has proven to be an important platform for hydraulics, pneumatics, mechanical and electrical power transmission industry sectors. With consistent growth in number of exhibitors, visitors and exhibition space, PTC Asia is becoming one of the most powerful trade event of region. 12 WORLD OF INDUSTRIES 7/2018
