ElectronicAsia
2004 – Wichtigster Handelsplatz für elektronische Komponenten in
Von 13. bis 16. Oktober 2004 war die Sonderverwaltungsregion
Hongkong einmal mehr Ziel für die Einkäufer von elektronischen Komponenten. 555
Unternehmen aus 14 Ländern stellten auf der electronicAsia, Internationale
Fachmesse für Elektronische Bauelemente und Bauteile, Elektronikproduktion und
Displaytechnologien, aus und präsentierten sich der Käuferschaft aus
Südostasien. Die Resonanz war noch größer als in den Vorjahren. Mit rund 33.000
Fachbesuchern verzeichnete die electronicAsia einen neuen Besucherrekord (2003:
28.000 Besucher).
Das Interesse des internationalen Publikums war ebenso
breitgefächert wie das Ausstellungsportfolio der Messe und deckte von
Halbleitern und Mikrosystemen über passive Komponenten und Leistungselektronik
bis hin zu Equipment für die Elektronikfertigung und Display-Technologien alle
Sektoren dieser Hightech-Industrie ab. Die Bewertung der Aussteller für die
electronicAsia 2004 fiel durchweg positiv aus, vor allem hinsichtlich der
Qualität der Besucher und der Zahl der Erstkontakte.
"Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit unserer Messeteilnahme, denn wir
haben viele wertvolle Besucherkontakte knüpfen können," lautete das Fazit
von Coco Sit, Sales Engineer bei Micronas Hongkong und China Ltd.
"electronicAsia ist für uns eine hervorragende Gelegenheit, unsere Produkte
und unser Unternehmen zu promoten. An unserem Stand hatten wir sowohl Besucher,
die sich allgemein über unser Portfolio informieren wollten, und auch
zahlreiche Entscheidungsträger haben zu uns gefunden."
Mit der großen Teilnahme auf Seiten der Aussteller – die electronicAsia war in
diesem Jahr zum wiederholten Male ausgebucht – und der anhaltend wachsenden
Besucherzahlen bestätigt sich die electronicAsia als Marktplatz für den
südostasiatischen, aber auch den internationalen Elektronikmarkt.
"Aus unserer Sicht ist die electronicAsia die
Elektronik-Leitmesse für Südostasien. Mit unserer Messeteilnahme vertiefen wir
unsere Aktivitäten in dieser Region," berichtete Horst Jellbauer, Leiter
Vertrieb von VOGT electronic, Oberzell/Deutschland. "Wir haben viele
unserer Kunden getroffen, sind aber auch mit neuen potentiellen Partnern ins
Gespräch gekommen. Nächstes Jahr werden wir auf jeden Fall wieder dabei
sein."
Für gute Stimmung und interessante Leads sorgte auch die
zeitgleich stattfindende Hong Kong Electronics Fair. Sie ist die größte Messe
für Consumerelectronic in Asien und versammelte in diesem Jahr über 2.000
ausstellende Unternehmen und fast 54.000 Besucher im Hong Kong Convention and
Exhibition Centre. Die Aussteller der Hong Kong Electronics Fair sind für die
Aussteller der electronicAsia eine wichtige Käuferzielgruppe.
Erstaussteller Powersem aus Schwabach/Deutschland war mit seiner
electronicAsia-Teilnahme äußerst zufrieden. Geschäftsführer Ashok Chadda lobte
insbesondere die Internationalität der Veranstaltung: "Wir konnten hier
sowohl unser Unternehmen vorstellen als auch erste Geschäfte tätigen. Die Zahl
der Besucher an unserem Stand entsprach dem, was wir uns erwartet hatten, aber
die internationale Zusammensetzung des Publikums hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen.
An der electronicAsia 2005 werden wir höchstwahrscheinlich wieder
teilnehmen."
Anmeldungen für die Veranstaltung im kommenden Jahr sind bereits möglich.
Termin für die electronicAsia 2005 in Hongkong ist der 13. bis 16. Oktober.
