CHINA TEXTILE COMMERCE ASSOCIATION AND MESSE DUESSELDORF SHANGHAI TO JOINTLY ORGANIZE CIOSH

   The China Textile Commerce Association (CTCA) and Messe Düsseldorf (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. recently signed a strategic cooperation agreement to jointly organize and further strengthen China’s leading occupational safety trade show – China International Occupational Safety & Health Goods Expo (CIOSH). The 100th edition will be held in the Shanghai New International Expo Center from July 3 - 5, 2020.

   The China Textile Commerce Association is the most influential national occupational safety industry association in China.  CIOSH,  organized by CTCA,  was founded in 1966 to provide a full range of manufacturing safety and health protective equipment to workers in major manufacturing fields, including construction, chemical, metallurgy, mining and medical care. After more than 50 years, CIOSH has evolved into China's largest professional labor protective equipment exhibition. The last edition held in April 2019 in Shanghai attracted more than 1,500 exhibitors and 30,000 professional visitors, covering 742,700 square feet of exhibition space. CIOSH has become an important sector platform, leading the scientific and technological development of the labor protective equipment industry in China.

   Messe Düsseldorf Shanghai is the subsidiary of Messe Düsseldorf in Germany, organizer of A+A, the world's leading trade fair for safety, security and health at work. As an international trade fair with congress, A+A takes place every two years in Düsseldorf, Germany (next: October 26 – 29, 2021). At the  2019 staging, over 2,121 exhibitors and 73,000 visitors from around the globe took part. With the long history in the occupational safety and health industry worldwide, A+A will bring its knowledge to CIOSH while offering international companies the opportunity to enter the Chinese market.

   As industry leaders with strong domestic and overseas expertise in organizing the two exhibitions, the two renowned organizers will cooperate in order to make CIOSH 2020  the sector’s most impressive international and professional event in Asia. “The China International Occupational Safety & Health Goods Expo has successfully benefitted from the rapid national economic growth over the past 50 years. Now, the implementation of the new national strategies like the 'Belt and Road Initiative' and ‘Made in China 2025' has opened up new opportunities for the development of CIOSH. We believe that the development of the labor protective equipment market will certainly take a new step through the in-depth cooperation with Messe Düsseldorf!”, stated Li Jianhua, Chief Executive Officer of the China Textile Commerce Association.

   Wolfram Nikolaus Diener, Chairman of Messe Düsseldorf (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., added: “We eagerly look forward to bringing the international network of Messe Düsseldorf and the expertise of A+A to China. To further consolidate the development of CIOSH, more international companies will come to China and present modern occupational safety and intelligent concepts. In addition to the products for safety at work, we plan to bring more manufactures covering security and health at work as well as the new products in fire security and emergency rescue to enlarge the ranges at CIOSH. We believe that the cooperation will make CIOSH an important platform for trade and exchange for the global protective equipment producers and users.”
