Chemspec, the exhibition and networking event for the fine and speciality chemicals industry, is expanding into the world's largest market with the launch of Chemspec USA. The first Chemspec USA will take place in Philadelphia on 3-5 May 2011.
"Chemspec USA is a direct response to feedback from the industry which has indicated the need for an alternative event in North America," said Steve Diprose, vice president of the Chemicals Division at Quartz Business Media, organiser of the Chemspec shows worldwide.
Exhibitors at Chemspec USA will represent a broad cross-section of the fine, custom and speciality chemicals industries from sectors including pharmaceuticals, crop science, custom manufacturing, green chemistry, biotechnology, personal care, water treatment.
"We are locating the show in Philadelphia for two main reasons: its convenience for exhibitors and visitors and the importance of the chemical and related industries to the region," said Diprose. With more than 36,000 Greater Philadelphia residents employed in the sector, Philadelphia is one of the most important locations for the life sciences in the US."
Not only does it have four times the average national concentration of pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities but it has a strong blend of established pharma, research infrastructure, world-renowned universities, emerging start-ups, workforce and support network for entrepreneurs. Moreover, 60% of SOCMA member companies and 27% of ACS members are within 100 miles of Philadelphia.
