Informa Exhibitions join hands with CCIA to launch Intermodal Asia
China Container Industry Association (CCIA) and Informa Exhibitions have formed a cooperation partnership on the launch of Intermodal Asia 2014, in April. The event will also benefit from the full support of the world’s largest container manufacturer, CIMC (China International Marine Containers), who is the chairman member company of the CCIA.
“Informa is pleased to announce this strategic partnership with China’s leading container association. The partnership between Informa and the CCIA, supported by CIMC, ensures that Intermodal Asia will be an industry-led event. In this way it will be both an international and a regional event, delivering both local and international exhibitors and visitors” says Intermodal Asia Event Director Sophie Ahmed.
Taking place from 1-3 April 2014 at the Shanghai World Expo Centre, Intermodal Asia will be a large scale event, featuring a free-to-attend exhibition running alongside a high level conference, with sessions held in both Mandarin and English. The conference sessions will take place on the exhibition floor, making them fully integrated into the overall event. Intermodal Asia will attract senior level visitors from China, plus a number of Asian countries, as well as from all over the world. It will be the first time such a large scale event has run in China – making it an essential visit for container logistics and intermodal professionals.
Exhibitors and visitors to Intermodal Asia will include organisations that supply, use, trade or purchase containers and container suppliers of material and components. As well as container equipment and freight handling equipment, rail freight services, liner services, 3PLs, reefer and cold chain management companies and intermodal ports and terminals.
China Container Industry Association is located in Beijing and was established in 1993 with the approval from the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the People’s Republic of China and is a nationwide social organisation with legal person qualification.
Informa is the world’s largest event organiser, with offices in over 35 different countries and with a proven history in the sector. The company owns the highly successful Intermodal Europe event as well as a number of well-regarded industry publications, including Containerisation International and Lloyd’s List.
CCIA’s members include CIMC, Singamas, CXIC and many more of the world’s largest container manufacturing and suppliers of material and components companies. The association is a hugely influential body within the container industry, with backing from the Chinese government.
Intermodal Asia is organised by Informa Exhibitions and the CCIA, and covers all areas of container transport and logistics across road, rail and sea. The event provides an invaluable industry forum, bringing together high-quality speakers and key exhibitors.
Informa Exhibitions also organises Intermodal Europe, the world-leading exhibition and conference for companies associated with the container and intermodal industries and now in its 36th year.
