When “electronica & Productronica China” opens its gates from 21 – 23 March 2007 together with SEMICON China and LASER. World of Photonics China, a new partner will be joining them: the China Printed Circuit Association (CPCA) and the CPCA Show. This means that the most important events for the electronics industry in Shanghai will be taking place simultaneously at the Shanghai New International Expo Center.

Munich, Germany, September 13, 2006. Messe München International, a leading organizer of electronics trade shows around the world, and the China Printed Circuit Association (CPCA) will be cooperating closely in the future. Within the framework of this cooperation, the CPCA Show will be held in Shanghai simultaneously with the “electronica & ProductronicaChina with PCIM China,” “LASER. World of Photonics China” and “SEMICON China” trade shows at the Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC) from 21 – 23 March 2007.

Together with its partners, SEMI and CPCA, Messe München has thus succeeded in bringing together the Chinese electronics industry’s most important events at the Shanghai New International Expo Center.
- The CPCA Show, ProductronicaChina, and SEMICON China present the entire spectrum of electronics production.
- “electronicaChina with PCIM China” shows the entire spectrum of electronic components, from semiconductors to passive components and all the way to interconnect technology.
- LASER. World of Photonics China just recently expanded the ensemble of trade shows offered in Shanghai. In March 2006, this show took place for the first time, and right from the start it was the region’s most important industry meeting place for applications in the field of photonics.

The trade shows will cover seven halls in the SNIEC in 2007, and thus form the largest platform for the presentation of electronics in China.

Besides co-location of the trade shows, the cooperation between CPCA and Messe München International includes joint development of new exhibition focal points and conferences.
