In 2013, over 20 millions of vehicles were manufactured and sold domestically. This number is growing at a 8% - 10% rate on a year- to-year basis. The automotive parts market is expecting a 20% plus growth rate beach year. The China¡¯s twelfth Five year plan advocates auto industry to put an emphasis on Quality over Quantity. And to put environment protection, closing down backward production as a priority.

At the Fourth Annual Event, we pulled together the most concerned topics based on latest policy change, market transformation, consumer preference change. And we will have deep interpretation on marching towards a higher level of environment friendly, energy efficient manufacturing process. Innovative coating / surface Technology and its impact on consumer. To achieve a sustained development.

This year¡¯s event creates a platform to discuss at a strategic high how companies can adapt new technology to meet CSR. And with the fast change of consumer shopping behavior, how new technologies can help with product appearance. To effect the value of the goods.
