Chennai, IPFonline Ltd is organizing two concurrent industrial trade fairs in Kolkata from November 18th to November 21st 2010.

   As of yesterday 152 exhibitors have committed to exhibit at Engeetech and over 75 have committed to exhibit at BACE. Both the trade fairs will be held concurrently at Science City Grounds, Kolkata.

Kolkata is one of Indias oldest cities and was the capital of the British in India until 1911. It was the trading outpost and continues to be the trading capital of India. And is certainly the gateway to the east and the North east. These are the relatively new and fast growing markets of India and IPF has recognized this vacuum and decided to host two very timely industrial trade fairs for this region.

The Bengal Chamber of Commerce & Industry (BCCI), the Indo-German Chamber of Commerce (IGCC) and the Oriental Chamber of Commerce have already pledged their support for the event.

In addition, a delegation of 35 - 40 buyers, who are affiliated to Bangladesh Engineering Industry Owners Association (BEIOA) and Bangladesh Electrical Merchandise Manufacturers Association (BEMMA) have committed to attend the event and meet exhibitors and participate in a Buyer - Seller Meet.

ENGEETECH and BACE will be the largest shows of its kind in Kolkata and participation either by exhibiting or as a visitor should not be missed as this is the only show, which is brining in exhibitors from across India to do business with the East.

Notes to Editor

IPFonline Ltd., with Head Office in Chennai, and branch sales offices in 11 cities across India, is a corporation owned by IL&FS, HDFC, and R V Pandit, the Founder & Publisher of Industrial Products Finder ( the IPF in the company name), the monthly magazine since October 1972. The company also owns The Indian Textile Journal, and Automotive Products Finder, both monthly magazines.

IPFonline Ltd has promoted and owns www.ipfonline.com, www.indiantextilejournal.com and www.automotiveproductsfinder.com.

Industrial Products Finder was visualised and conceived as an industrial new-products-news monthly by R. V. Pandit, and was launched as such in October 1972. Right from the first issue, more than 38 years ago, the magazine contained unique features. It showcased exactly what the name of the magazine proclaimed: Industrial Products Finder. It carries only advertisements on industrial products, which is awaited news in industry circles.

The magazine, being industry-centric in nature, is made available only through prepaid annual (1-year and 3-year, and 5-year) subscriptions to businesses, industries and technical/managerial personnel, so as to avoid wastage. All of the above continues to be so even today.

Yet, there have been dramatic changes. Over the years, the magazine has grown in size and reach. It is so popular that it is simply known as IPF in industrial circles. It is so useful to readers that anybody in industry who gets to examine it becomes its subscriber. As a standing testimony to its reputation, thousands of subscribers (both companies and individuals alike) who initially subscribed to the early issues of IPF from 1972 are still its subscribers even today.
