Major Players in the Electronics Industry Gather During Bohai Electronics Week 2005 Reed Exhibitions, a world leading organizer of trade and public shows, organized the event in response to strong demand from companies attracted to the growing North China market. The Bohai area is increasingly important stage for electronics manufacturing and one of China’s most vital economic engines. The event expected to attract 8,000 buyers and trade visitors, Bohai Electronics Week 2005 builds on Reed’s success with the high profile Nepcon series of electronics industry events in China, and follows the company’s strategy of becoming China’s leading organizer of electronics manufacturing trade shows. The show was also created to serve the procurement needs of those companies in the region. The event has generated strong interest from electronics assemblers, test and measurement companies as well as components exhibitors, especially from Japan, Korea, Singapore and China, including the Hong Kong SAR and Taiwan Province.

It was the needs of such exhibitors seeking contacts with the large companies located in North China, a market with 27% of China’s electronics industry output, that prompted the launch of Bohai Electronics Week.
