Kolkata- Four concurrent industrial trade fairs based on the pattern of world renowned Hannover Messe being planned in Mumbai from 10 to 13 December 2009 are expected to give a further boost to the industrial activity in the country. The fairs are : CeMAT INDIA – for Materials Handling and Logistics;MDA INDIA – for Motion, Drive & Automation ;Industrial Automation INDIA – for Process & Production Automation & Industrial Building ; Energy INDIA – Solutions for Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy and Captive Power Plants. The fairs will be organized by Hannover Milano Fairs India Pvt Ltd.

For the forthcoming shows in December 2009 national pavilions have been confirmed from Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, China, and Taiwan besides several individual overseas exhibitors. The high number of foreign exhibitors with latest technology and products is a strong magnet for visitors.

“As all the economic indicators suggest, the Indian economy is expected to come out of the slow down by the end of this year giving a fresh momentum to new investments and a revival of economic activies.The expected uptrend synchronizes perfectly well with the show dates in December”, explains Sudhir Patil, Managing director of Hannover Milano Fairs India.

“This is the time companies must stay in touch with their user industries otherwise, they will miss the boat. These shows are a B2B platform for showcasing a new range of products and services and to interact with the existing and potential customers. If a company is absent from the relevant trade fair, it may be leaving the field open for competition and the absence would send a wrong signal to the market”, says Patil.

With booming retail and wide spread supply chain networks logistic has tremendous potential for growth in India. Suppliers of material handling equipment, logistic and warehousing services and the technology developers will find CeMAT INDIA an ideal platform for presenting their products and services.
