Fired up for business Bolder, brighter and 75% bigger than before, the Jakarta ceramics fair Keramika 2014 brought valuable insights and connections There is no better way to keep one’s finger on the pulse than by visiting a trade show dedicated to your business. Held alongside Mega Build Indonesia at the spacious Jakarta Convention Centre, Keramika is a trade fair that celebrates all things ceramic, says Glenn Israel, spokesperson for Reed Panorama, the firm that organises the event together with the Indonesian Ceramic Industry Association. “While 2014 is only the show’s third outing, it was 75% larger than in previous years, and Keramika 2015 is set to be an 70 even grander event,” says Israel. “And it’s easy to see why – the fair offers valuable insights for anyone in the trade. The entire ceramics supply chain, from raw materials and plant through to support services and finished products, is showcased here. “The event shows off what’s new and exciting in the industry, and fosters vital connections that help a business grow.” This year, a total of 315 companies was represented – from Indonesia and 11 other countries, including pavilions from China, Korea, Singapore, Italy and Taiwan. search | save | share at my.trendsideas.com For details, contact PT Reed Panorama Exhibitions, Panorama Building 5th Floor, Jl Tomang Raya No 63, Jakarta 11440, Indonesia.
