Resellers from throughout China will be attending the upcoming 2014 SEMA China Business Development Tour, September 16–20, 2014. Wholesalers, retailers and installers are all looking for the latest products to meet the growing interest in vehicle customization.

SEMA members can connect with Chinese companies through face-to-face meetings with distributors at venues in both Beijing and Shanghai on 2014 SEMA China Business Development Tour. Limited slots and subsidies are available for qualified companies.
