California-based PC standards organisation PCMCIA offered rave reviews of their first venture into China in the final days of CeBIT Asia 2007.
The organisation is comprised of 140 companies in the PC industry. They have been very active in Taiwan over the last three or four years.
PCMCIA Executive Director, Mr Patrick Maher says the company hope to expand their business contacts in response to the ever-growing activity in the Chinese PC manufacturing market.
“We wanted to get the flavour of what was happening here and see the potential for members companies in China”, he said.
Mr Maher says PCMCIA have been extremely impressed with the response its CeBIT Asia exhibit has received.
“We have had a very positive response. A lot of people didn’t know a lot about us here, so it was good to spread the word," he said.
“It was really a toe in the water for us to come here in the first place to find out what was happening here and from that point of view, it was very good.".
PCMCIA are eager to return to CeBIT Asia and the city of Shanghai.
“We will certainly look at coming again next year … (Shanghai) is the most amazing city, I’ve ever been in”, Mr Maher told us today.
When as the highlight of his trip, Mr Maher answered, “sitting having a beer on top of a building in the Bund overlooking Pudong. It was just amazing!”
