The Association of British Mining Equipment Companies will be taking a group of UK businesses to China Coal & Mining 2007 with UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) support via the Tradeshow Access Programme (TAP).

China Coal & Mining is the trade’s only national event, held every other year. With the participation of more than 300 exhibitors and 20,000 visitors in 2005, it is the largest tradeshow in its sector. Products presented at the show range from equipment for mine exploration and construction to systems for roadway boring and support; from facilities for coal safety, coal transportation, coal processing to IT applications for the management of the coal industry.

This event has been designated by UKTI as a "key" event and the UK presence at the event will therefore benefit from enhanced promotional activities.

Venue Details
China Coal & Mining 2007 will be held at the National Agricultural Exhibition Hall in Beijing, China.
