China Interdye 2009 to be Held in April in Shanghai

SHANGHAI, March 23 /PRNewswire-Asia/ — The 9th China International Dye
Industry, Pigments and Textile Chemicals Exhibition (China Interdye 2009)
boasts the largest professional show for the industry. It will be staged in
INTEX Shanghai and Shanghai mart from April 8-10, 2009. China Interdye 2009
will be sponsored by China Dyestuff Industry Association (CDIA), China Dyeing
and Printing Association, China Council for the Promotion of International
Trade, Shanghai Sub-Council and China Chamber of International Commerce,
Shanghai Chamber of Commerce and co-organized by Shanghai International
Exhibition Corporation. A total exhibition floor space of 20,000sq.m will be
provided, including 7,000sq.m for overseas exhibitors. Attracting more than
400 exhibitors from 14 countries and regions, China Interdye 2009 aims to
provide an industrial gala for exhibitors and a professional audience through
activities such as cultivating effective synergy between upstream and
downstream industrial chains, inviting overseas purchasers, convening of
professional conferences and meetings for sellers and purchasers.

Dyestuffs and organic pigments are widely used in textiles, the light
industry, paint and printing ink sectors, etc. Through years of stable
development, China has become the world’s biggest dyestuffs producer, trader
and consumer. In 2008, China produced 678,000 tons of dyestuffs and 185,000
tons of organic pigments; import and export volume for dyestuffs and organic
pigments totaled 296,000 tons and 152,000 tons, respectively; trade volume for
import and export of dyestuffs and organic pigments reached USD 1.648 billion
and USD 1.142 billion, up 14% and 9.7% year on year, respectively. Because of
the impact of international financial crisis, the overseas market demand was
reduced. The price increase of production elements, the change of RMB exchange
rate and the rise of labor force costs all negatively impacted enterprises. To
relieve enterprises’ difficulties, China has adjusted the macroeconomic
policies in time and strengthened support to enterprises. With policies
gradually implemented, by 2009, the industries are expected to overcome the
dilemma. Take the dying and printing industry as an example, according to
incomplete statistics, it is predicted that annual output and production value,
sales income and export will grow at 6-7%, 14%, and 8%, respectively.

China Interdye 2009 has grown with China’s dyestuff and chemicals industry.
After 8 years of steady development, it has become the largest dyestuffs
exhibition in the world. In 2007, it passed the certification of the Global
Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI), boasting the first in the
industry. China Interdye 2008 attracted 36,601 professional visitors who
either visited or had business talks. In the 11th Five Year Plan Period,
China’s dyestuff and chemicals industry will accomplish adjustment of
industrial and product structures and develop efficient, safe and
environment-friendly dyestuffs and textile auxiliary agents to meet the demand
for production of safe and ecological textiles. China Interdye 2009 will play
a positive role in promoting and accelerating the overall innovation and
improvement of the dyestuff industry.

The some 400 exhibitors include both world known brands such as DYSTAR,
BASF, Kekai, Tanatex, Jingsimai, NOVOZYMES and domestic leading companies such
as Longsheng, Runtu, Jihua, Yabang, and Jiehong. There are some big
international delegations from countries such as Korea and India and also some
large domestic delegations from Taiwan, Tianjin and other cities and provinces.
Exhibited products include pigments, intermediates, organic pigments, textile
chemicals, auxiliaries and finishing auxiliaries, equipment for supporting
production, analyses and testing, monitoring, dyeing and waste treatment. The
exhibitors have shown great enthusiasm for the event, so the sponsors set up
exhibition booths outside the west gate of INTEX Shanghai, which will produce
effective synergy with the two main exhibition venues. Moreover, the sponsors
also attached great importance to service for the professional audience. So
far, some professional purchaser groups have been invited from India, Vietnam,
Bengal, Korea and other countries.

During China Interdye 2009, various activities will be organized by the
China Dyestuff Industry Association, China Dyeing and Printing Association,
Yarn Dyed Fabric Sub-association under China Cotton Textile Association, China
