The second WAVES Expo, Indiaโs only pool and spa trade show, is on track to triple in size in 2012, thanks in part to Hayward and several other U.S. companies that have signed deals for booth space, organizers say. The 2nd WAVES Pool Spa Bath Intโl Expo will be held Sept. 6-8, at the new India Expo Centre & Mart, in Greater Noida, Delhi, with educational conferences taking place Sept. 6-7.
โI couldnโt be more pleased and excited with the level of growth from the inaugural expo last year,โ said Christopher Castillo, an American pool professional and president of WAVES. โIndia is a booming economy and itโs great to see American companies taking advantage of the opportunities present here.โ
Leading the way from America are companies such as Hayward Pool Products and HornerXpress, suppliers of several top brands such as AquaCal, AutoPilot, and LoChlor.
Bruce Fisher, VP International for Hayward, says he sees India as a long-term commitment. "Hayward is committed to the Indian market, and we anticipate steady growth in this region. We have supported WAVES from the start and look forward to another great show!"
Castillo says that in addition to exhibitors from India and the United States, the show is also attracting participants from Spain, Germany, the United Kingdom and China
โWith 5 months still left until the expo, the total amount of floor space sold has already surpassed last yearโs event,โ he said.
