Americarb Shines at Photovoltaic Show in China

February 2011

by Kris Kennedy

Americarb was among but not overlooked in the multitude of exhibitors, scholars, visitors, buyers and suppliers in Shanghai, China. During the three day feature of the solar industry’s finest companies Americarb took leaps forward thus jumping deeper into the solar craze. The remarkable event, The International Photovoltaic Power Generation Conference & Exhibition (SNEC PV 2011), took place at the Shanghai New International Expo Center, China from February 22 – 24, 2011.

Each of the separate three days of SNEC PV 2011 felt like its own success story for Americarb. Following each day, the reaction and review among the group seemed to out-do or greatly build on the previous day. The attraction and buzz is very much throughout the photovoltaic industry and Americarb caught onto that momentum during the trade show.

Another valid sign that it is an industry on the upswing is the increase of SNEC PV 2011. This year there were more than 1800 exhibitors from over 65 countries and regions, tallying 38% from outside of China. The show attracted a sizeable crowd of an estimated 100,000 plus in attendance. Every figure used as a metric of measurement has increased from previous years. The exposition has grown from 15,000 square meters in 2007 to 85,000 in 2010 and now an Asia PV record high of 150,000 square meters in exposition space.

Americarb looks forward to maximizing on a trade show full of interest from new and developed contacts. The proper pieces are in place and Americarb is poised to service all carbon and graphite needs. However following a show of such great proportions, Americarb’s ultimate goal of keeping you a pleased customer has not wavered.
