AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology has appointed the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) Machinery Sub-Council as the exclusive sales agent of IMTS to Chinese companies beginning on October 14, 2015, for IMTS 2016.

CCPIT Machinery is a trade body of the Chinese government founded in 1988, which promotes China’s foreign trade and international economic and commercial business interests between China and other countries around the world.

The arrangement will consolidate the displays from Chinese companies into one area at IMTS and create one point of contact for them, simplifying the trade show process.

“CCPIT Machinery has been a strong supporter of IMTS for many years. They have the experience and understanding to help Chinese companies produce first-class exhibits,” said Peter Eelman, Vice President – Exhibitions and Communications at AMT at yesterday’s formal press conference. “Our exhibitors from China for the 2016 show will receive a special benefit. An IMTS Exhibitor Workshop will be held in China in early 2016, which will be the first time Chinese exhibiting companies will receive that level of support.”

“We are extremely pleased to be named the official partner of IMTS. As one of the most prestigious shows in the world, we are dedicated to providing our Chinese companies with an outstanding opportunity to bring their products to the global market,” said Sun Xitian, Chairman of CCPIT Machinery.
