A new event to cater for the burgeoning fire safety market in India is being launched by CMPi, organisers of International Fire Expo, the Firex Roadshows and publishers of FSE. Firex India 2008 will be held in New Dehli from 16-18 October.
The development recognises 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.
“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,” said Simon Parker, group director at CMP Information. “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 added: “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.”
Firex India 2008 will adjoin IFSEC India, taking place from 16-18 October 2008 at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, India. To register for free entry, use the link below.
