Key Highlights:
Organizers claimed the show was a success but not like the previous year. Due to the change in the dates & the news of political instability many visitors resisted to come to Bangkok. But despite the above said reasons the show started on the high spirit along with some conferences and a perfect platform for networking. The Indian exhibitors at the Asian Paper were among the majority of participants and the lots of Indian visitors were also visible too. The high profile Conferences attracted a good number of attendees, with over 150 delegates participating at the Senior Management Symposium (SMS) and New Applied Technology (NAT) conference. The Mill Visit to BJC Cellox Mill on the eve of the show was also well received by the attendees.

Zellcheming- Annual General Meeting and Expo

Key Highlights:
The exhibitors were more or less same as compared to previous year. The focus was mainly to bridge the gap between research and the industry. The foreign visitor’s turnaround was good. The show was based on the analysis of the companies, markets and countries and striking the possible business opportunities one can get among them. Despite of the tense economic situation, the exhibitor participation as well as the total stands space declined only of about 12 percent. The lectures programme dealt with current and trend-setting topics offering the opportunity to intensive discussions. ZELLCHEMINGExpo 2010 closed with a positive result affected by optimism and satisfaction among exhibitors as well as visitors.
