SHENZHEN – The 2012 International Printed Circuit & Electronics Assembly Fair opened here today, where it will run until Nov. 30.
Following last year’s 10th anniversary, this year all booths were sold out, with a record total floor area of 33,000 m2. The two halls house 400 exhibitors, taking close to 1,700 booths.
The show drew around 80 new exhibitors from China, Taiwan, Germany, Japan, Korea, the US and France.
