Songjiang in US$15m CIIE deal
Songjiang’s first purchase order at the third China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai was made on November 6. The order, amounting to US$15.2 million, was signed between Songjiang-based CNNC Framatome Shanghai Tubing Co and French company Framatome. The contract was settled on material processing and equipment purchase.
CNNC Framatome Shanghai Tubing Co, the first joint venture founded by China National Nuclear Corporation and Framatome, is a key cooperation between China and France in the field of nuclear energy. The zirconium alloy tubes produced by the venture are used as a key consumable material in a nuclear reactor. The company is also the only supplier of zirconium alloy tubes in China.
“Since our company settled down in Songjiang about a decade ago, it has introduced a batch of high-end technologies here,” said Ye Shaojun, a member of the board of the company. “After the COVID-19 pandemic occurred this year, the company quickly adjusted its production and service to apt for a changing market and customers’ need.”
Splendid exhibition booths of renowned global brands in the CIIE venue, including Siemens, Danaher, Aland, Amway and Enervite, attracted visitors’ attention.
The stands were set up by Songjiang-based DemageMesse International Conference and Exhibition Service Co.
“DemageMesse has helped more than 30 renowned brands set up or design their CIIE exhibition stands, including those of Siemens in the medical devices hall, logistics giant ProLogis and paper industry giant APP in the service and trading hall,” said Wei Taichang, CEO of DemageMesse.
While serving the CIIE, DemageMesse is also an exhibitor company this year.
Its exhibition booth set up in the service and trading hall features vibrant colors and an immersive experience. Businesspeople were attracted to the booth and listened to introductions by staff members of the company on how to adopt multimedia technologies in cultural broadcasts and new market adaptations.
“DemageMesse has been an officially appointed exhibit producer for the CIIE for three consecutive years. This year we are also an exhibitor company. We feel a lot of responsibility,” said Wei.
