HAULOTTE signs up for APEX Asia

French aerial platform manufacturer Haulotte, one of the top five AWP suppliers in the world, is the latest company to sign-up for the first APEX Asia exhibition in Shanghai on 31 October to 3 November this year.

Haulotte, which has taken a 168 square metre stand at the show, joins other big name companies attending the show, including JLG Industries, Skyjack, Dingli, Mantall and Sinoboom.

Haulotte has been active in the Chinese and Asian market for many years and was one of the first to establish a manufacturing plant in China, opening its Changzhou facility in 2009.

Exhibitors at APEX Asia now include: Eastman, Dingli, Goman, Haulotte, JLG Industries, Liugong, LGMG, Mantall, Moba, Runshare, Sinoboom, Sivge, Skyclimber Skyjack, TVH, XCMG and Yamai.

The show, which is the sister event to APEX in Europe, will be co-located with CeMAT Asia, the established material handling and logistics exhibition that attracts more than 75,000 visitors. Both events will be held at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC).

APEX Asia, which will be held in Hall N1 at SNIEC, is the first dedicated showcase of access equipment in China and held at a time of rapid growth in the Chinese access market.

“The show has generated enormous interest and we are delighted to have so many suppliers on board at this early stage”, said Tony Kenter, managing director of show organiser Industrial Promotions International B.V. (I.P.I.).

“APEX Asia will bring together Chinese and Asian users and buyers of access equipment at a single show where they can see a wide variety of machines under one roof. Co-locating with CeMAT Asia will also give access equipment exposure to a large audience of industrial equipment professionals, such as owners of forklift trucks.”

Also taking place in Hall N1 will be the International Rental Conference (IRC), which will be held on the first day of the show in a dedicated conference space.

IRC attracts an audience of 300 to 400 rental professionals, and this year’s speaker line-up includes senior figures from United Rentals (USA), Kanamoto (Japan), Zeppelin Rental (Germany), Haulotte (France) and Sycor (Germany).
