Charlotte, NC -- Canon Communications, the leading publisher, trade show producer, and digital media company for the world’s $3 trillion advanced, technology-based manufacturing industry, today announced that more than 550 exhibitors will be featured at its annual co-located supershow of seven major trade shows, including the South’s first Green Manufacturing Expo, to be held March 19-20 in the Charlotte Convention Center.

“Canon Communications produces the largest design and manufacturing events in every major region,” said Kevin O’Keefe, Senior Vice-President for Canon’s Events Division, “and Charlotte is an ideal location for serving the South’s advanced design and manufacturing markets. Through Canon’s unique co-location strategy, the more than 15,000 attendees expected at this supershow will have access to the latest developments in design software and rapid prototyping, assembly and automation equipment, electronic components, production and processing machinery, plastics processing, packaging, enterprise software, automation and controls, and a full range of support and contract services for every manufacturing sector and industry application.”

Canon’s co-located strategy allows exhibitors to take advantage of an expanded audience by placing several different shows at the same venue. In addition to the Green Manufacturing Expo – which Canon introduced as an industry first in 2008 – Canon’s other co-located shows are the Design & Manufacturing South, AM Expo (Advanced Manufacturing), ATX South (Automation Technology), SouthPack, Plastec South, and Powder & Bulk Solids Expo South.

“This supershow provides a major, comprehensive, annual event to meet the demands of the South’s nearly 40,000 manufacturers,” O’Keefe said. “In just North Carolina alone, for example, there are 11,000 manufacturing facilities annually producing $160 billion in output, requiring the purchase – every year – of $70 billion in materials and $4.4 billion on capital equipment.”
