The 2011 edition of Electrical Building Technology Guangzhou, taking place 9 - 12 June at the China Import and Export Fair Complex, Guangzhou, China, will be double the size of the 2010 show.
Supporting China's fast growing "green" building technology market by focussing on the building and home automation and electrical engineering sectors, Electrical Building Technology Guangzhou will offer 10,000 sqm of exhibition space. Currently nearly 200 exhibitors from nine countries and regions have signed up for the show.
Mr Richard Li, Deputy General Manager of Messe Frankfurt in China said: "China's commercial and residential building industry is rapidly moving towards "green" energy-efficiency with an emphasis on integrated building and home automation for greater comfort, safety and efficiency. This is reflected in the increased scale of this year's show which is bringing together key players in China's commercial and residential building industry as well as attracting planners, contractors, architects, engineers and system integrators from around the world."

The show will be a good opportunity for us to enhance our brand image and gain sales leads."
Also exhibiting for the first time is home automation specialist Vity Technology. Mr Kevin Wong, Senior Sales Manager said: "Due to the fast development of mainland China, quality of life is becoming more desired by people from the mid-level class and above. They prefer a high-end design for their home, and automation is one of the main components. We already have offices and distributors and are seeking other platforms to gain more brand exposure. Electrical Building Technology Guangzhou is one of the most important and influential shows in mainland China and there are many famous manufacturers who will join the show so it is a good chance for our company to expose itself to the worldwide industry."

Mr Roy Lu, the company's Sales Manager for Asia said his company hoped to find partners at the show.
