DISCOUNT FOR SEMA MEMBERS TO EXHIBIT AT THE UPCOMING BEIJING-BASED CIAPE SHOW

The Chinese government recently announced the legalization of 500 specialty-equipment products. The Chinese government is sponsoring a trade show—China International Auto Parts Expo—to cover the entire automotive market and will dedicate two halls to specialty-equipment product. For those SEMA members interested in learning more about the market they might want to either exhibit at the Show or visit the show to see the market first hand.  Last year, the first year of the show, organizers reported 2,500 exhibitors and 60,000 visitors.

SEMA will host the Salon de SEMA for the first time in Asia and will showcase important elements of the specialty-equipment industry such as custom vehicles, manufacturer interviews, product giveaways and other automotive lifestyle promotions.
