Charting New Paths
Half the fiscal year has already flown by, and what an incredible journey it’s been! This makes us immensely grateful to all industry stakeholders for their support in making our signature events— Hyderabad International Machine Tool & Engineering Expo (HIMTEX), India Process Expo & Conference (IPEC), Eco Sustain Expo, and SportExpo India—a grand success.
The maiden edition of Eco Sustain Expo was well-received by the industry and attracted innovators from across the country who showcased environmentally conscious products and technologies. Similarly, the huge response to the IPEC seminar and exhibition testified that India’s Process Sector is gearing up to adopt global best practices and products.
HIMTEX 2024, now in its 8th edition, smashed its early records by convening the manufacturing community and featuring technologies, machines, and concepts that are highly crucial for advancing modern manufacturing.
August was indeed a busy month for us. Along with these three shows, our flagship SportsExpo India also garnered an overwhelming response, further cementing its place as a must-attend event for the sports and allied industries.
Also deserving a mention here are analytica Anacon India and India Lab Expo, held at our venue - HITEX Exhibition Centre, which witnessed stupendous success and confirmed Hyderabad as an ideal location for sectoral shows. Equipped with modern amenities and seamless services, HITEX yet again proved to be the right venue and contributed to attendees’ pleasant experience. The response was so huge that all our halls, including the most spacious and newly constructed Hall 4, were brimmed with exhibitors and visitors.
Witnessing the consecutive success of these exhibitions and trade fairs, we resonate with UFI CEO Kai Hattendorf's remark that India is at a pivotal moment. With its state-of-the-art venues, the country is poised to unlock new opportunities for industry growth and development. India is well-positioned to assume an even more prominent role on the global exhibition stage.
With all the good things happening, there is one more we should make the announcement about. Our new sectoral show Global Flooring Solutions Expo (GFLOOR) will take place from November 7-9, 2025, at our own HITEX Exhibition Centre. The goal is to make the show a one-stop destination for architects, interior designers, builders, contractors, and flooring specialists, delivering insights into the latest trends, materials, and sustainable solutions in flooring.
On a concluding note, we again express our heartfelt gratitude to the events and exhibition community for offering us opportunities to serve them for their signature shows.
This festive occasion let us celebrate our successes and commit ourselves to strive for better. Since new beginnings mark new learnings, opening up avenues for endless possibilities.
