GUANGZHOU, China — Growing demand in the laundry market has led the China International Laundry Industry Exhibition (China Laundry Expo) to move to the Shanghai New International Expo Center, show officials report.
The latest trends and innovations in the laundry and drycleaning industry can be seen at the show, which is scheduled for July 12-14. This is the 17th annual China Laundry Expo.
The Expo is supported by the National Ministry of Commerce and organized by the China Laundry Association and Unifair Exhibition Service.
Last year, 11,651 visitors from all over the world attended the China Laundry Expo, which featured an exhibition area of almost 130,000 square feet with more than 550 booths and 278 exhibit brands from more than 16 countries and regions, organizers say.
Exhibition space at the new Shanghai venue is expected to reach nearly 250,000 square feet for the 2016 Expo, with more than 1,200 booths.
Show organizers say that growing demand in the market led to the need for increased floor space to accommodate more booths and people, as well as to ensure greater participation among exhibitors and visitors.
The China Laundry Expo is taking place simultaneously with three other exhibitions: China Leather Care Technology and Product Exhibition, China Public Textile Laundry Exhibition and China Laundry Franchise Exhibition.
Show organizers say that, as a window of technical innovation and brand presentation, as well as a professional platform for trade communication and investment and financial cooperation, China Laundry Expo has been a firm bridge between the upstream and downstream industry chain, and between the domestic and international supply chain.
“China Laundry Expo would be our first step to develop the Chinese market,” says Andrea Bernicchi, export manager of Renzacci S.P.A.
During even-numbered years, the China Laundry Expo takes place in Shanghai; in odd-numbered years, the exhibition takes place in Beijing.
