Press release for immediate release First Announcement

ITE Group PLC is delighted to announce the launch of five exciting new trade fairs for sale and leasing of used machinery equipment. Specifically targeted at companies wishing to sell to manufactures that wish to start or increase production but have limited resources.

UMEL will break new ground and set unprecedented standards in the area of used machinery trade show. The significance of UMEL for exhibitors and visitors lies in the fact that, for the first time, small and medium sized companies will be given the opportunity to initiate industrial co-operation. Today, more than ever before, small and medium-sized businesses are having to contend with the globalisation of market areas, by co-operating with efficient suppliers.

ITE has recognised the need for UMEL trade shows in 5 emerging markets, Dubai: as the leading regional trading hub will offer access to the Pan Arab / African markets. Belgrade: will offer new companies the opportunity to target the huge potential of this promising market. Russia: with the financial crisis over and a new government determined to continue process of economic and democratic reforms, is the country of colossal investment potential. Eurasia (Istanbul): demand for used, reconditioned equipment has increased for the last few years and is becoming an alternative source for emerging distributors and end-users. Hong-Kong: also servers as a re-export centre for used equipment trading; most of which go to other parts of China, which is valued at $60billion.

UMEL trade shows will also launch WEBCAST AUCTIONS to assist with the selling of machines and will also give exhibitors the opportunity to promote their web-sites at the Internet Café.
