News this week: UBM Asia’s joint
venture company in China, Shanghai-based UBM Sinoexpo, has announced the acquisition of two trade
shows and their co-located events from Shanghai
Tiansheng Exhibition Service Co., Ltd – the China Vending & Kiosk Show, the Shanghai Digital Signage Show. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Mr Zhang Xinyuan,
owner and general manager of Tiansheng, will continue to lead the show teams
working alongside UBM’s Hotelex and Expo Shop teams.
The previous
edition of the concurrent shows were held from 4th to 6th
September 2013 at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition and
Convention Center and occupied
more than 17,000 m2 of gross exhibition space. UBM Sinoexpo will officially
begin to organise the shows from 2014 onwards.
Jimé Essink, president
& CEO of UBM Asia, commented, “China is a big potential market for these
two industries. We aim to bring in more overseas participation with our
international network and large database to take these two leading and
professional events to a new level. The China Vending & Kiosk Show and
Shanghai Digital Signage Show also complement the annual Hotelex Shanghai and
the co-located Expo Shop China show organised by Shanghai UBM Sinoexpo.”
