Singapore, July 20, 2007 – The chemical industry
has seen rapid growth for more than fifty years. Market Demand
in Asia has reached new heights in the chemical processing,
oil & gas, F&B processing, refining, pharmaceuticals,
biotechnology, life sciences and R&D sectors, while China
and India have also become the leading growth markets for
measurement and automation technologies. With further foreign
investments expected in Asia and the additional new chemical
plants that will be commissioned in the next few years, more
companies will be looking for business opportunities in the
region.
Singapore and the neighbouring region are seen as a cost-competitive
location for such investments. A prime example is the petrochemical
complex in Singapore’s man-made Jurong Island, home
to some of the biggest players in the industry, including
Exxon Mobil, Shell, Chevron Texaco, BASF, Sumitomo Chemical
and Mitsui Chemical.
Reflecting this trend, CIA2007, (ControlsAsia, InstrumentAsia
AnaLabAsia) will once again make its return to Suntec Singapore
from the 27th November to 30th November 2007.
Organisers Singapore Exhibition Services are expecting over
669 exhibiting companies from 38 countries and regions at
the show this year, including six country group pavilions
from China, France, Germany, Singapore, Spain and UK. Some
of the noteworthy players that have already signed up include
Merck, Varian Technologies, Millipore, Profibus Group, Iwaki,
Mitsubishi and Weidmuller, with the following supporting associations
on board – Profibus, Field Device Tool Group (FDT),
JAIMA , GAMBICA, GRUFAC and ICS
ControlsAsia2007 & InstrumentAsia2007 covers solutions
and products for measuring and testing, and include actuators
and drives, bus systems, field devices, and software on plant
asset management, QA and test systems, ERP and supply chain
management, and more.
AnaLabAsia2007 will showcase solutions in assays and testing,
chromatography, diagnostics, lab automation, microscopy, optical
and image analysis, spectroscopy, filtration and separation
technology, and other analytical science solutions.
“CIA2007 provides industry players with a fantastic
opportunity to stay ahead of the game, network, and open business
opportunities”, says the show’s project director
Tee Boon Teong of organiser Singapore Exhibition Services.
“The event boasts a 29-years track record, and is the
most established event of its kind for the Asia Pacific market.
We expect this year’s show to surpass the last, and
attendees are fully encouraged to take advantage of the unique
business opportunities that are on offer at the event.”
Supplementing the exhibition is an ICS New Technology
Forum where industry experts present the latest innovations,
applications and solutions in instrumentation, process control/engineering
and technology migration.
Alongside CIA2007 are two associated events at the same venue
in Suntec Singapore: EnviroAsia2007, aimed
at presenting the best business and networking opportunities
for the regional environmental and water industries and Energex
2007, the 12th International Energy Conference and
