Despite the global recession, the expo has already set a new record with more than 2200 exhibitors from 23 countries and regions, including the UK.
As a result, the exhibition space has expanded to 9 halls, with a total of more than 100,000 square metres.
Mr Jason Cao, general manager, Messe Frankfurt Shanghai Co Ltd, said: “Our show is going from strength to strength and has set a new record for exhibitors and exhibition space.
