12th CXMEE makes new record

　　 Following 12 years of cultivation and growth, CXMEE's exhibition scale has been expanding steadily and its standard rising constantly, cementing its position as a first-class machinery and electronics exhibition in Asia. The 12 th CXMEE attracted a total of 715 enterprises from across the Taiwan Straits, which set up 1810 booths, with a total exhibition area of 40000 square meters, the highest number on record. The "China (Xiamen) Energy Efficient Lighting Exhibition 2008" and the "Cross-Strait Flat Panel Displays Exhibition", both held during CMXEE, were the highlights of CXMEE. They drew 74 related enterprises and showcased the state-of-the-art products and technologies.   Taiwanese enterprises had a larger presence at the year's CXMEE. Nearly 200 Taiwan-funded enterprises, with more than 500 booths, were featured at CXMEE, twice the figures of last year's CXMEE. The tremendous results have demonstrated that CXMEE has started to show a siphon effect and emerged as an essential platform for both sides of the Taiwan Strait to tap into the global market. Furthermore, nearly 100 world-class industry giants from Japan, Germany, the United States, South Korea and Italy attended CXMEE. Mainland, Taiwan and world brands have formed a tripartite complex at this year's exhibition.   This year's CXMEE featured stronger cohesive and branding effects. Machinery continued to be the single largest category of exhibits, taking up more than 900 booths. Instruments, industrial control, moulds, and energy efficient lighting products were also showcased on a significant scale. A large number of cutting-edge technologies were displayed as well, including the state-of-the-art ECH20 Cleaning Technology, developed by Ruishi Enterprise.   As of noon of April 11, the 12th CXMEE has attracted 27,815 professional visitors from 39 countries and territories, including 4,352 overseas visitors. Taiwan continued to be the largest source of overseas visitors, with 2242 visitors. During the CXMEE, more than 50,000 domestic and overseas people traded at or toured the exhibition.   This year's CXMEE saw booming trading and delivered substantial results for exhibitors. Most exhibitors expressed satisfaction with the results and as much as 60% of them received substantial orders and expressions of interest. For example, Shenzhen-based Dazu Laser won orders worth more than RMB 15 million, Beijing AgieCharmilles and Bochuang Guangzhou both secured deals worth more than RMB 10 million, and many enterprises, including Korea’s Hyundai Kia, China’s Haitai, Mingxin Welding, Xihuaguang and Guangzhou Hongli, each clinched deals worth more than RMB 2 million. Many exhibitors indicated their intensions to return to CXMEE next year.
