JEC Show Asia 2010’s expanded scope reflects growing significance of Asian composites market

 JEC Show Asia 2010 exhibition and conference took place from October 12 to 14 in Singapore on a note of strong optimism, evidenced by a significant increase in exhibition space and a reinforced presence of key composites decision makers at the event.

Highlights of JEC Show Asia 2010

With a total of 346 exhibitors displaying a wide range of composites innovations, JEC Show Asia 2010 has grown markedly in scale with a 10 percent increase in exhibition space due to bigger booths. The annual event continues to garner the support of various globally renowned academic institutions and industry associations from across the Asia Pacific region including Australia, China, India, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.
The full lineup of JEC Show Asia 2010 exhibition, conference and business networking programs attracted 7,010 trade visitors, which include a high proportion of key decision makers in the global composites arena.

Introducing the latest composites innovations

A highlight at the JEC Show Asia 2010 was the launch of the first ever Innovative International Composites Summit (IICS) in Singapore, held concurrently with the main exhibition. A key milestone for JEC, the IICS took place over three days and comprised eight economic and technical seminars that explored the latest breakthroughs in different applications sectors in the composites industry.

Nine companies and their partners received awards for their application developments at the JEC Asia Innovation Awards 2010. This year, the Life Achievement Award was presented to Stephen Seow, founder of Dynaglass Singapore, honoring his accomplishments in the composites field.

Increased demand for automated processes

One of the key technology trends identified in the 2010 edition of JEC Show Asia is the increased demand for automation to improve manufacturing processes across different composites market segments in the Asia Pacific region, especially for high value-added applications in aeronautics and wind energy. And also SMC mould, BMC mould, GMT mould, LFT mould are much more widely used than before. Market penetration for automated manufacturing solutions is growing rapidly and there is great potential for process automation technologies to be adopted by manufacturers in Asia.
JEC Show Asia 2011 will be held next year from October 18 to 20 in Singapore.
