Press Release Summary: March 2008 - The China International Consumer Goods Fair

province of Zhejang. CICGF is China's leading fair for quality and branded products.
Companies from the international consumer goods industry will exhibit at the fair
from 8 - 12 June 2008. The significance of this trade fair, which is taking place
for the seventh time in 2008, is growing as the region develops. Almost 20 per cent
of Chinese consumer goods are manufactured in Ningbo and the surrounding area. With
5 million inhabitants, the metropolis near Shanghai is one of the most important
hubs for Chinese imports and exports. For further information please visit the
website www.cicgf.com.

Press Release Body: Four thousand exhibitors are taking part in CICCF 2008, which is
being held in a state-of-the-art exhibition complex. Products from the clothing and
household textile sector, electric and household appliances, basic commodities,
office and leisure goods, together with decorations, gifts and fancy foods will be
presented in the 90,000 square metres exhibition area. Over 30 other countries will
have stands including Germany, Italy, USA, Japan, Thailand, Korea, Brasil, and
Hongkong as well as Australia, Spain and Pakistan. 27 Chinese provinces will also be
present. Buyers from a total of 113 countries have already registered to visit
CICCF.
This year the journey to CICGF will be easier and quicker. The region's prestigious
project: the 36 kilometre long Hangzhou Bay Bridge will open conciding with the
fair. This spectacular structure connects Shanghai to the province of Zhejiang and
cuts the journey time between Shanghai and Ningbo from four to three hours.
All foreign exhibitors will be picked up free of charge from the Shanghai airport
and brought directly to Ningbo. Tickets for overseas visitors are also free when
they register with the CICGF at trade1@cicgf.com.
