A tour of the fair makes one thing clear: Given the tremendous potential of the Chinese market, a large number of international market leaders are presenting their products to Chinese trade visitors at Practical World Asia. In spite of all the obstacles and global problems the year 2003 has brought us, we have succeeded in bringing together a representative and comprehensive array of international products for the premiere of Practical World Asia. That's a success story we plan to continue in the future together with China National Hardware Association.

This hardware Show is a bridge between Chinese hardware industry and international hardware industry. The increase of exhibitor number proves that the Show meets the demand in this field.

We are surprised at the scale and visitor number of the Show. We have collected more name cards from professional visitors than the whole session of other shows. We will certainly participate in next year's Show and will expand our booth.
