Mr Rohit Patel, Senior Manager, Business Development & Product Planning, Anchor Electricals Pvt Ltd (a member of Panasonic), visited GILE for the fifth time, bringing 20 delegates to the fair: “ We were look ing for SKD (semi k nock down) material. This exhibition is a good platform for business network ing and you get to meet many different suppliers.” Mr Randy D. Gananathan, President, TDA Secure Access Inc in Canada, also made the journey to attend GILE once again. “ The quality of the displays and products improves ever y year, hopefully this will translate into more innovative products in the industr y. I will definitely return next year.” Another loyal visitor, Mr Isaac Ritz Herskovic, General Manager, Laiting, affirmed: “I have come to GILE more than six times. Our company impor ts more than 7,000 different k inds of lighting products and we come to see updated technologies, especially energy saving products like LEDs and solar panels. I think the business matching programme was par ticularly useful and I was able to interact more with the suppliers.” Mr Tommy Lo, Vice President, Hong Kong WEE Recycling Association, Hong Kong, explained: “For our company, the primar y business model has been sourcing products from Chinese manufacturers and bringing them to the Hong Kong market. Recently, however, we are moving towards building our own brand with the target of tapping into overseas markets; this is where GILE can assist us. Not only can we seek the latest products and network with manufacturers, but we can also keep up with various market trends in this fast changing industr y. There are always new oppor tunities to explore at GILE ever y year.“ Ms Lucia Wong added: “ The lighting industr y is evolving with oppor tunities abound. The creation of lighting solutions is a joint effor t in the industr y, which requires the suppor t of a number players, including planners, designers and manufacturers. O ther wise, these concepts will never be made into reality. GILE will always continue to suppor t these innovations in the industr y.” The Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition runs parallel to Guangzhou Electrical Building Technology. Both are a par t of Messe Frankfur t ’s Light and Building Technology fairs worldwide, headed by the biennial Light + Building event which will takes place from 18 – 23 March, 2018, in Frankfur t, Germany.
