In cooperation with the China National Furniture Association, China Building Ceramics & Sanitaryware Association and China Coating Industry Association, Shanghai UBM Sinoexpo International Exhibition Co., Ltd. will stage China (Chengdu) Big Four Show 2009 from 11-13 November, 2009 at the Chengdu International Exhibition & Conference Center.

For the first time, Shanghai UBM Sinoexpo International Exhibition Co., Ltd. combines these four successful exhibition brands in Shanghai into one big show to be launched in western China. The following is a brief introduction to these four brand shows.
Furniture China – The largest of its kind in Asia
Furniture China co-organized by Shanghai UBM Sinoexpo International Exhibition Co., Ltd. and China National Furniture Association has a history of 14 years. Starting from a small show of 3,000 sqm in 1993, it has now expanded to a 350,000 sqm big show attracting over 2,000 domestic and overseas exhibitors and enjoying a reputation of “The Global Furniture Event in Asia” and one of the top three furniture shows in the world. The successful staging of Furniture China is a full demonstration of the ability of Shanghai UBM Sinoexpo International Exhibition Co. Ltd. in organizing exhibitions. With an enviable reputation in furniture shows in the world, Furniture China 2008 attracted over 60,000 professional buyers from 150 countries and regions.
Furniture show in Chengdu will be bridging all the exhibitors with the western China market. Apart from benefiting from the same model as the previous Furniture China shows in Shanghai, exhibitors will also enjoy such information services as magazine, web advertising and press conference.
Furniture Manufacturing & Supply Expo (FMC) – The most professional woodworking machinery show
Covering a total floor space of 32,000 sqm, FMC 2008 was successfully held in September 2008. It attracted more than 650 domestic and overseas exhibitors and approximately 30,000 professional buyers including 4,000 overseas visitors.
Riding on the 14 years of success of Furniture China and its advantageous position in the industry, FMC Chengdu will benefit from the well-developed media network of the furniture and woodworking industries. Together with the co-location of Furniture, ExpoBuild, Hotelex and Clean, the event will capture nationwide and global attention.
Expobuild – The high-level building material event
Encompassing the building ceramics, doors, windows, curtains, wooden products, and hardware industries, Expobuild has a good reputation for the last 16 years in building material industry in China. Over 1,000 enterprises have benefited from Expobuild. Several hundred foreign brands have entered and expanded their market in China through exhibiting at Expobuild. It witnesses and grows with the development of China’s building material industry. 29,278 professional visitors from 106 countries and regions, of which 3,200 from overseas attended Expobuild 2008. It surpasses other similar shows in Asia for its high standard and large business transaction volume. In 2009, the exhibition will be held for the first time in Chengdu as Shanghai UBM Sinoexpo dedicates itself to creating a distinguished sourcing event for the building and construction industry in western China, leveraging its rich experience in organising exhibitions over the past 20 years, as well as its huge database.
Shanghai International Hospitality Equipment & Supply Expo (Hotelex) – Leading Asia’s hospitality equipment and supply industry into future
The annual Hotelex Shanghai fair is a must-attend event for hospitality professionals. In addition to being a prestigious exhibition, Hotelex Shanghai is also well perceived as centrestage for the display of international-quality goods, the release of novel technologies and the interchange of new hospitality ideas. The international exhibition facilities, the all-in-one format of the exhibition, and the people-centric management of the exhibition all make this an excellent trading platform for both exhibitors and buyers.
With 17 years of splendid history, Hotelex Shanghai now plays an important role in leading Asia’s hospitality industry. The exhibition provides both exhibitors and visitors with the latest news and opportunities available in the market. As a one-stop sourcing platform, it also offers a full range of products and services to hospitality specialists in China and in Asia. Summits, competitions and performances share with visitors the hot topic of “green hotels” and the brand attraction of the exhibition, while the expanded and up-to-date visitor database ensures that only high-quality visitors attend the event every year.
China Clean Expo (CCE) – The most authoritative event of its kind in Asia for the cleaning industry
After six years of dedicated effort, CCE has become the annual trade exhibition for Asia’s cleaning industry. The 8th CCE ended on April 3, 2008 in the Shanghai New International Expo Centre, having covered 15,000 sqm, an increase of 30.4% over its previous edition. This scale surpassed all the other cleaning shows in Asia, making CCE the biggest event of its kind in Asia. Most of the world’s best-known cleaning suppliers and brands participated in CCE, which is their major means of access to the China market.
CCE Chengdu will have the same format as previous CCEs, and exhibitors will benefit from the professional information services offered via our exhibitions, publications, websites and conferences.
The first China (Chengdu) Big Four Show that presents four exhibitions concurrently under the same roof will open up a brand new horizon for the exhibition industry in Sichuan and the whole western China by providing full-fledged and most effective sourcing and purchasing platform for suppliers and buyers. The China (Chengdu) Big Four Show will certainly be a big success.
