Composites in the spotlight in Asia Pacific RIM at the JEC Asia 2008

The first session of JEC Asia will be held October 22-24, 2008 at the prestigious Suntec fairground and conference centre in downtown Singapore. In response to the considerable growth (10-15% on average) of the composite sector in that region, this new platform will provide professionals with both technological information and economic content on global markets. Manufacturers use JEC’s international network and organisation which benefits from fifty years of experience in informing, promoting and organizing events around composite materials. This includes the JEC Composites Paris trade show – the world’s leading trade show for the composite industry – with more than 1,000 exhibitor companies, 25,000 visitors, 3 halls, and 43,000 sqm of surface area. During JEC Asia, each country is invited to promote its know-how and take the pulse of its competitive market.
