Ceramic industry professionals to observe.

However, there have been other recent online media reports that the 2012 Guangzhou Ceramics Industry Exhibition’s right to organize is now in dispute: The China International Trade Promotion Council Building Materials Industry Branch and Guangdong Xinzhilian Exhibition Service Co., Ltd. respectively informed the companies that both indicated that they will The Ceramics Industry Exhibition is held by them and the notices show the same time and place.

However, in December 2011, Xinzhilian has already launched the “2012 China Guangzhou International Ceramics Industry Technology and Product Exhibition” advertisement in the industry media and accepted the deposit under the company.

The exhibition dispute has a long history: As the well-known ceramics industry exhibition in Asia, Guangzhou Ceramic Industry Exhibition once fell into the whirlpool of hostility disputes in 2010 and 2011. As early as 1997, China International Trade Promotion Council's Building Materials Industry Branch and China Ceramic Industry Association each held an independent international ceramics industry exhibition each year, which caused excessive competition. Domestic and foreign companies are at a loss and scale is difficult to expand.

After coordination, it reached an agreement that was co-sponsored by the two companies and was hosted by each other in turn. For more than a decade, both parties have co-sponsored 12 exhibitions. However, the 23rd China International Ceramics Industry Expo held in 2009 was the last exhibition agreed by both parties in the original agreement. At that time, the cooperation agreement between the two parties will expire on December 31, 2009, and the 24th session of the agreement in 2010 After the show, no new agreement has been signed.

At the end of March 2010, before the opening of the 24th session, when the preparations for the exhibition had all ended, the China Ceramic Industry Association proposed that it no longer continue to cooperate and instead decide to hold the ceramic exhibition alone. The cooperation between the two parties broke down.

After the disputes struck, two different versions of the investment advertisements of Xinzhilian and CCPIT Building Materials Branch were also published in various media for investment promotion, which made the enterprises at a loss.

Until March 8, 2011, the dispute between the 2011 International (Guangzhou) Ceramics Industry Exhibition and the dispute between the Ministry of Commerce finally reached an agreement and the Ministry of Commerce made the latest ruling: The 2011 Guangzhou Industrial Exhibition will be held once a year. Changed to twice. The first half of the year industrial exhibition was supported by the China Light Industry Federation, and it was sponsored exclusively by its China Ceramic Industry Association and organized by Guangzhou New Zhilian Exhibition Service Co., Ltd.; the second half of the year will be supported by the China Building Materials Federation. The unit is sponsored by the China Building Sanitary Ceramics Association and organized by the China Council for the Promotion of the CCPIT. The two parties that hold the Ceramic Industry Exhibition in 2011 will not be allowed to use the name of the “Xth China Ceramic Industry Exhibition”. The name of the industrial exhibition was changed to "2011 China Guangzhou International Ceramics Industry Technology and Product Exhibition".

Both parties started their online propaganda: However, one year later, on the Guangzhou Industrial Exhibition in 2012, both parties began to publicize their respective propaganda.

Xinzhilian's website shows: “2012 China Guangzhou International Ceramics Industry Technology and Products Exhibition Time: May 28 to 31, 2012, Venue: Pazhou Complex, Guangzhou, Organizer: China Ceramic Industry Association, Undertaker: Guangdong Xinzhilian Exhibition Service Co., Ltd.".

According to the above-mentioned online media reports, a newsletter emerged from the website of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade's Building Materials Industry Branch: “December 23, 2011 was reviewed by the Expert Committee, and the Ministry of Commerce finalized the verdict: China International Ceramics Industry Exhibition 2012 was held in China. The CCPIT Building Materials Industry Sub-branch will be held. No other unit may hold the same theme exhibition in Guangzhou at the same time. All exhibitors are hereby informed.

However, on January 12, the reporter entered the China Building Materials Trade Network, a website run by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade's Building Materials Industry Branch, and did not see this information.

The organizers have their own rhetoric: What is the truth? He Tianxiong, Chairman of the China Ceramic Industry Association, and Bin Bin, Secretary-General of the China Building Sanitary Ceramics Association, all made remarks. He Tianxiong stated that the disputes between the two associations have a long history. For the 2012 exhibition, the Ministry of Commerce did convene an expert coordination meeting, but it is still in the process of coordination and there is no final result, and the CCPIT building materials section marked “second The 16th China International Ceramics Industry Exhibition was obviously inappropriate, because after the coordination of disputes last year, the Ministry of Commerce had made it clear that both parties could not use the name of the original show, the logo and the session code during the exhibition. Before the document comes out, it is recommended that companies wait first and do not rush to conclusions.

Sui Bin replied that he had just returned from attending the meeting of the Ministry of Commerce. The meeting had decided to organize an industrial exhibition in 2012 from the building materials side. It is estimated that the documents will soon come down and accept the company’s deposit without the approval of the Ministry of Commerce. operating.

In response, some companies that are preparing to make deposits before the Spring Festival are hesitating to say so.

The organizers of the Guangzhou Ceramics Industry Exhibition are divided into sub-groups. How it will continue to develop is a matter of great concern to the industry. Many companies also hope that the organizers will consider the overall situation of the industry and solve the problems satisfactorily so that they will not fall into a dilemma every year.
