The Announcement of the Exhibition Khimia 2015
The 18th edition of the Khimia International Exhibition for Chemical Industry and Science will run in Pavilions No.2 and 8 of Expocentre Fairgrounds on 27-30 October 2015. Khimia is Russia’s largest and most recognized chemical trade show.
Khimia is organized by Expocentre ZAO with official support from the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade, Moscow City Government, Russian Union of Chemists, NIITEKHIM OAO, Mendeleev Russian Chemical Society, Chemical Department of the Lomonosov Moscow State University, and under auspices of the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
This year Khimia celebrates its 50th anniversary and the centennial of Leonid Kostandov, ex-Minister of the USSR Chemical Industry and initiator of Khimia.
The Khimia trade show was launched in 1965 to become this country’s main event for the chemical industry and science. Khimia was the first Russian show to receive the UFI label in 1975. Now it also has the label of the Russian Union of Exhibitions and Fairs.
“Khimia has become a major congress and exhibition”, said Victor Ivanov, President of the Russian Chemists Union. “I am positive that all events held within the exhibition will bring new solutions to the problems faced by the Russian chemical industry.”
Today, Khimia is the largest chemical project which brings together under one roof several exhibitions: Chem-Lab-Analyt, Chemmash. Pumps, Green Chemistry, and Plastics Industry Show.
The anniversary edition welcomes more than 400 companies from 24 countries: Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Canada, China, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Japan, Kazakhstan, the Republic of Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, Switzerland, the UK, Ukraine, and the USA.
