Voices to AchemAmerica 2005

Fernando Jesús Canales Clariond
Secretary of Economics,United Statesof Mexico

“In 2002 DECHEMA decided to organize the first AchemAmerica ever in the American Continent. Mexico City was the chosen venue, and it proved to be the right decision. As Minister of the Economy of Mexico, I was delighted to learn that AchemAmerica 2005 will be hosted again in this city on April 12th to 15th. It will be a great honor to receive exhibitors, businessmen, investors, scientists and technicians from all over the world to attend this important event. With a GDP of almost 650 billion dollars and a population of over 100 million inhabitants, Mexico is the largest Latin American economy. It has become one of the most open economies and has a network of 12 free trade agreements covering 42 countries located in three continents. As a result, Mexico has free access to the world biggest markets and has been recognized as a world-class centre and a leading strategic investment location. In Mexico you will find attractive business opportunities in the chemical and bio-technological sectors. There is no doubt that Mexico is a hub for trade and investment. It is one of the best places in the world to do business and establish new strategic alliances to take advantage of its FTAs network and successfully compete in the global economy. Welcome to AchemAmerica 2005. We will see you in Mexico.”

José Luis Uriegas
Chairman of the Board,ANIQ Asociación Nacional de la Industria Química

“After the first success of AchemAmerica 2002, we at ANIQ welcome DECHEMA’s decision to stage the AchemAmerica again in Mexico City. AchemAmerica 2005 will help to bring new technologies to the Mexican economy in the fields of chemical processes, as well as in biotechnology, water treatment and energy, which are key to the further development of Mexico. We foresee that new strategic alliances and investments can be established and triggered during this event helping to create more jobs in Mexico.”William Sandler
President of VMA Valve Manufacturers Association, USA

“We recognize the importance of chemical process equipment in Mexico’s industrial development, as well as the market potential for US companies. Members of the VMA were present at the first AchemAmerica in 2002, and going forward we view AchemAmerica as an important place to meet new customers, and explore business opportunities in Mexico.”Alan R. Morris
President, Morris Marketing Inc.

“As the US and Mexican economies improve in coming months, CPI suppliers active in the Mexican market will be positioned to grow sales and earnings faster than competitors who fail to recognize the growing potential of America’s second-largest trading partner. Participation in AchemAmerica 2005 is a great way to enter the market, or to boost your present sales activities in Mexico.”Rolf Schlettwein D.
DECHEMA Delegate for Mexico

“With the valuable support of IMIQ, ANIQ, as well as with the collaboration of the Mexican government and Pemex this international event will gather distinguished exhibitors, executives, guest speakers and visitors from many countries around the world. AchemAmerica 2005 will open new doors, create exciting bridges for new joint-ventures, and help to bring new technologies to Mexico.”
