Joint Hands by the Government and Industrial Players for Exploring Opportunities
According to a recent report by Print Industries Market Information and Research Organization (PRIMIR), China has surpassed Germany and United Kingdom to become the third largest printing center of the world. The Pearl River Delta Region of the country congregates a large number of printing corporations. They serve not only the huge domestic demands, but also act as the major export-processing zone to overseas market. In face of the economic downturn, both the government and enterprises are actively overcoming the challenges. For instance, the Chinese government introduces a value-added tax reform recently that printing corporations are benefited from the tax return when they purchase equipment. Thus, the 16th Printing South China / Sino-Label 09, which takes place in Guangzhou receives extensive support from the industry. It continues to perform its unique role as the most important trading platform for the exchange of newest technology, updated market news and business networking in South China. 600 leading suppliers exhibit at the fairground, namely Arjobex America, Avery Dennison, Colamark, Emerson, EPSON, EURA, Hans Gronhi, Huaguang Precision Machinery, Jadason Technology, Le Kai er Jiao, Lintec, Martini, Pantone, RotoMetrics, RYOBI, SPPMC, Taiyo, UPM-KYMMENE, Wutung, Zhejiang Zhengrun, etc.
