China as market for plastics and rubber machines
On the occasion of Chinaplas, to be held from 17 – 20 May 2011 in Guangzhou, China, the Plastics and Rubber Machinery Association of the German Engineering Federation VDMA has published latest statistics on German and international exports of plastics and rubber machines to China.
According to the report, German exports to China in 2010 increased by 64.4 % to reach an export volume of more than EUR 587 million. This growth more than compensated the slump experienced in the preceding year. The export volume scarcely fell short of the peak volume recorded in 2004.
