Shanghai ready to welcome the world

With China taking centre stage in the global marketplace, PCHi provides the most effective business platform for domestic and international ingredient suppliers to engage manufacturers of cosmetic, personal care and household products. PCHi is the innovation-led event for the cosmetics and homecare ingredients sector, and is the first international industry gathering to be held in each calendar year. The show has gained much momentum in recent years and looks well set to take on the world stage once more. PCHi 2014 will be held in Shanghai at the New International Expo Center (SNIEC) from 19-21 February, and will include more new features and marketing platforms.
