Firex India 2008 - 16-18 October 2008 - Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, India
LONDON, Sept. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Following the resounding success of the inaugural IFSEC India 2007, organisers CMP Information and CMP Asia are pleased to announce the launch of Firex India 2008, which will take place alongside IFSEC India from 16-18 October at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, India. The launch exhibition will extend the reach of the already hugely popular International Firex brand, which next takes place at the NEC from 11-14 May 2009.
Together the shows recognise the rapid expansion of the fire and security industries in India, which are growing by around 47% per year, according to research published by the BSIA last year. The decision to launch Firex India follows months of extensive investigation and discussion with the industry.
Simon Parker, Group Director at CMP Information, comments, "Rapid market growth and the corresponding increase in production activity make India a logical focus for our continuing global expansion of the fire and security event family. The overall fire protection market in India is worth almost US$339mn, making it a huge area of interest for local and international manufacturers and distributors."
Mr M. Gandhi, Managing Director at CMP Asia, comments, "Firex India will be the ideal place for end-users from the IT, ITeS, retail, hospitality, residential, industrial plant and health sectors to keep up-to-date with the latest innovations and developments in the fire industry across the South Asian region."
More developments will be announced shortly. Firex India 2008 will adjoin IFSEC India, taking place from 16-18 October 2008 at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, India.
