Mack Brooks Adds BLECH Editions
-- Tradeshow Week, 6/30/2008
Mack Brooks Exhibitions will add two more editions of its BLECH tradeshows in Russia and India. It currently organizes two others that focus on the sheet metal industry: EuroBLECH, which will be held for the 20th time Oct. 21-25 in Hannover, Germany, and BLECH Polska, which launched in Warsaw in 2007.
Added to the mix will be BLECH Russia, debuting March 10-13 in St. Petersburg, Russia, and BLECH India, which will be held Nov. 18-20, 2009, at the Bombay Exhibition Centre – NSE Complex in Mumbai, India. All the shows are biennials.
Mack Brooks Exhibitions Chairman Stephen Brooks said, “Our decision to organize BLECH events in growth markets is based on the demand for specialized sheet metal working shows in these countries where, to date, mainly general machinery exhibitions were held.”
BLECH Russia will collocate with the Russian industrial tradeshows St. PT Fair and Autoprom, an integrated event for the automotive industry. The show will be organized by Restec-Brooks, a joint venture between Mack Brooks Exhibitions and Russian exhibition organizer Restec.
BLECH India will be organized by Inter Ads-Brooks exhibitions, a joint venture between Mack Brooks Exhibitions and Inter Ads India.
BLECH Polska will next take place Oct. 27-29, 2009, in the Kielce Exhibition Centre in Kielce, Poland. According to organizers, the 2007 exhibition and conference in Warsaw had more than 1,500 attendees and 100 exhibitors.
“With our experience as the organizers of EuroBLECH and our strong partnerships in Russia and India, we can offer our exhibitors solid platforms for new business contacts in major future markets for this industry sector,” Brooks said.
