New Delhi, Delhi, India, Wednesday, June 29, 2011 -- (Business Wire India) -- Global Sources (NASDAQ: GSOL), a trade show specialist, in association with tradeindia.com are scheduled to jointly host the Global Sources Machinery & Industrial Supplies Fair (MIS Fair) at the Bombay Exhibition Centre, Mumbai from November 23 to 25. The MIS Fair is scheduled to run concurrently with the very popular and established China Sourcing Fair which has been taking place in Mumbai for the last 3 years and has been a phenomenal success in striking a right cord between Chinese Suppliers and Indian Buyers. The China Sourcing Fairs in Mumbai are managed by Pico Event Management, under licence from Global Sources.

On the launch of bookings for the MIS Fair, the CEO of tradeindia.com, Bikky Khosla, said: "We have been organising several offline events, but with our partnership with Global Sources we are now taking a big step forward. The partnership marks our foray into the trade show business which has direct synergy with our current business.

"We are proud to partner with Global Sources, one of the world's largest trade show organizers. We are sure all trade shows which we conduct will work towards the growth of trade and will promote our customers who believe in tradeindia.com and connect with us to promote their business. For exhibiting companies, the MIS Fair will bring in business opportunities and work towards the growth of the machinery & industrial supplies sector."

To a question on why Tradeindia had chosen the MIS Fair 2011 to enter the business of organising trade shows, Mr Khosla said: "This event should create new domestic business opportunities for Indian suppliers, while supporting the growth of the local economy.

"Both of our companies are focused on connecting high-end buyers with quality suppliers. Our goal is to make this event the premier trade show platform for machinery and industrial product suppliers and buyers in India."

The President of Global Sources Exhibitions, Tommy Wong, on the occasion said: "India has earmarked US$1 trillion for infrastructure projects as part of a five-year plan starting in 2012. Additionally, as the country's manufacturing expands, demand for machinery is growing rapidly.

"The MIS Fair represents our entry into India's domestic market. We are pleased to be working with tradeindia.com, the country's largest online B2B marketplace and one of the country's B2B leaders, to jointly host this event. Our goal is to create opportunities for buyers to meet face-to-face with quality suppliers who can help them profit from this booming sector in one of the world's fastest growing economies."

The Global Sources Machinery & Industrial Supplies Fair is expected to have over 200 booths with pavilions for engineering goods & equipments, machinery, conveyor belts, gear boxes and gear cutting products, fasteners, nuts & bolts, pumps & pumping equipment, testing & measuring equipment and valves, etc.
