Off to a good start

The organisers of Practical World Asia, which opened in Shanghai on 19 October, say it got off to a “successful start”. The show is taking place for the second time in parallel to the China International Hardware Show (CIHS) and ends on 21 October. According to Köln-Messe, which is responsible for the event together with the China National Hardware Association (CNHA), the exhibitors reported good results after the first day of the show. Just under 95 per cent of the more than 100 companies represented in the Practical World Asia segment come from abroad.
