opportunities to forge alliances and collaborations worth millions of dollars … the scale of the event, breathtaking … pavilions for China, France, Germany, Iran, Korea, Spain, Taiwan and Turkey
AND … FROM THE UK? ZERO POINTS
The Vass View. Or, is it a rant?
Our picture shows the Burland Fraser Technologies Team, our joint venture in India, in the German pavilion on German manufacturer Wieland’s stand, selling UK and German manufactured goods to India. Our Managing Director, Richard Vass, was flabbergasted to find no UK pavilion and zero UK trade and export support.
Elecrama 2010 is the biggest power supply and distribution exhibition of its kind in Asia, maybe the world, and to find no official representation from the UK was extremely disappointing.
Bad for UK PLC but great for Burland, the exhibition proved a great success. It gave Richard every opportunity to brush up his German, particularly whilst enjoying the excellent hospitality provided by the German Consulate at the Novotel, Juhu Beach on the Wednesday evening.
Amongst other suppliers, Burland Fraser has the exclusive distribution rights to Wieland Electric products in India. www.wieland.com
