Informex365.com is Launched for Manufacturers in Search of Chemical Reactions Expertise

PRINCETON, N.J.,  — Informex has launched Informex365.com, a new web portal for manufacturers that require service and support in chemical reactions commonly used in the production of pharmaceuticals, bio-technology products, industrial products and higher-value chemicals. The all-new website offers manufacturers instant access to the companies that can best support projects based on Acetylation reactions, Coupling reactions, Cryogenic reactions and nearly 200 other process chemical reactions. A search engine built into the website allows users to find the companies focused on specific chemical reactions. Accessible without charge or user registration requirements, Informex365.com allows year-round access to the companies that exhibit at the leading chemical industry event in the United States, InformexUSA. Informex launched the new site to extend the reach of exhibitors beyond the confines of the annual event and to provide companies unable to attend the show an opportunity to consider the expertise of suppliers side-by-side.

According to Jennifer Jessup, event director, Informex, Informex365.com is a problem solver for manufacturers that need to seek out and consult with a number of chemical industry experts when questions come up on specific chemical reactions. “When it comes to finding answers on complex process chemical reactions, it makes sense to work with the experts who know those reactions best,” she said. “Informex365.com makes it possible for the manufacturing industries of the world to find companies with knowledge in the reactions where help is needed, all in one click. Beyond this, the web portal will include an encyclopedia of the process chemical reactions that custom chemical experts rely on to produce world-class technologies for manufacturers,” she added.

Extending the Informex Event to the World

As manufacturing industries move beyond traditional chemical technologies and production processes in pursuit of technology breakthroughs, Informex will provide a common link for companies up and down the supply chain that can help to make those breakthroughs a reality. Accordingly, Informex365 was conceived as an open website, designed to bring together a global network of qualified companies that will work together to optimize technologies and process chemical reactions for the benefit of the manufacturing industries of the world.

According to Jessup, the need for manufactures to pursue technology breakthroughs translates into a need for an Informex that is “on” every day of the year. “Informex365.com will serve as an online extension of the Informex show, providing companies a mechanism to communicate updates in capabilities, technologies and logistics as they happen,” she said. “Rounding out the new site is a news feed outlining the latest developments of custom chemical manufacturers and outsourcing companies,” she added. The news is sponsored by SP2 magazine, a major European based publication focused on the topics of discovery, development and commercialization of complex new drugs and agrochemical compounds.

Listing on Informex365.com is available to exhibitors and non exhibitors of InformexUSA. For more information, contact Informex in Princeton, New Jersey. Telephone 609-759-4746.

India’s Export Growth in April

By Kartik Goyal

June 2 (Bloomberg) — India’s export growth accelerated in April as companies shipped more gems, jewelry, oil and other manufactured products to overseas markets.

Shipments jumped 31.5 percent to $14.4 billion from a year earlier, faster than March’s 26.6 percent gain, the government said in a statement in New Delhi today. Imports in April rose 36.6 percent to $24.3 billion, widening the trade deficit to an all-time high of $9.87 billion.

Overseas sales have risen as companies boost shipments to Europe, Japan and other developing Asian nations to counter slowing demand from the U.S., India’s biggest export market. Increased sales abroad may help sustain growth in Asia’s third- largest economy as inflation at a 3 1/2-year high crimps domestic spending.

Indian exports “are being buttressed by strong demand from emerging markets and oil-producing countries, helping offset slackening demand from OECD countries,” said Sonal Varma, a Mumbai-based economist at Lehman Brothers Inc. “A weaker currency also bodes well for India’s low-cost, labor-intensive exports, notably textiles and leather.”

Exports to the U.S. rose 9.3 percent in the nine months to Dec. 31, slower than the 10.6 percent gain in the same period a year earlier, according to the latest breakdown of overseas sales released by the central bank. India gives a more detailed analysis of exports five months after releasing initial data.

Shipments to Europe rose 25.5 percent in the nine-month period, from 16.2 percent in the year earlier, the central bank said. Exports to Germany gained 29.3 percent and sales to the Netherlands jumped 91 percent.

Weaker Currency

“I am confident that we will be able to sustain the growth process and overcome the challenges we face on account of the global slowdown,” Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said today, addressing a grouping of industries in New Delhi today.

A weaker rupee is good for Indian exporters, Trade Minister Kamal Nath said last week. The rupee has declined 7.16 percent this year, making it the second-worst performer among Asia’s 10 most-traded currencies excluding the yen.

“The deterioration in the external position has been an important reason why the rupee has softened a bit more than the currencies of several of its Asian partners over recent months,” said Robert Prior-Wandesforde, a senior economist at HSBC Holdings Plc in Singapore.

Trade Deficit

The trade deficit may widen to 9 percent of the gross domestic product in the fiscal year to March 2009 and the current account deficit to 2.8 percent, Prior-Wandesforde said.

To help boost overseas sales, the government plans to focus on promoting exports to 10 countries including Mongolia, Bosnia- Herzegovina, Albania, Macedonia, Croatia, Honduras, Djibouti, Sudan, Ghana and Colombia, Nath said on April 11.

Nath has set a target of more than tripling India’s share of world trade to 5 percent by the year 2020 from the current 1.5 percent.

India’s oil imports in April rose 46.2 percent to $8.03 billion as Indian refiners paid more for import of crude oil imports. India relies on imports of overseas crude oil to meet its three-quarters of its energy needs. Non-oil imports gained 32.3 percent to $16.2 billion.

“The unrelenting rise in crude oil prices threatens to disrupt the development process in a large number of oil importing developing countries,” Singh said today.

Gems & jewellery exports up 22%; HK, US biggest buyers

Total gems and jewellery exports from India stood at $20.9 billion for FY’08, a growth of 22.27% over $17.1 billion the previous year, according to the Gems and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC). The United States and Hong Kong were the largest importers of gems and jewellery from India, with a share of 26% each, followed by UAE at 21%.

But, it seems to be a mixed bag for the southern gems and jewellery sector. While cut and polished diamond exports from the region saw a 148.54% rise over last year at $102.1 million, exports of gold jewellery fell by 17.41%. This was despite an increase in exports of gold jewellery at the national level, from $5,202.48 million in FY’07 to $5,622.41 this year. The total exports from south India was at $1,458.8 million, a decline of 10.7% over last year.

The council further states in its report that the lack of a well-equipped gems and jewellery training institute in the south is one of the biggest challenges that the sector faces. “Despite being a big jewellery market, there’s no world-class institute in Chennai on the lines of institutes in Delhi, Mumbai and Jaipur. We have applied to the government to give us space to set up such an institute here,” GJEPC chairman Sanjay Kothari

told ET. There is also a problem with regard to the supply of gold in the region as nominated agencies are not in a position to cater to the exports and concentrate on domestic business only. Even MMTC operates only selectively in Chennai, with no operations in Coimbatore, Bangalore, Hyderabad or Cochin.

Even domestic sales seem to have taken a hit. Amid reports of a not-so-glittering Akshaya Tritiya this year, comes a World Gold Council (WGC) press note, which claims that despite a fall in sales volume, there has been an increase in value terms. Although sales were down to 48.99 tonne of gold this year (during Akshaya Tritiya) against 55 tonne in 2007, there was a 19% growth in value terms as prices were at Rs 12,000 per 10 gm, up from Rs 9,000 per 10 gm for the corresponding period last year.

India Intensifies Polish Diamond Imports

India exported polished diamonds to the tune of $1.241 billion in April, shipping out some 3.434 million carat of goods. This is a strong 42.45 percent increase in the value of exports compared to April 2007, according to provisional data provided by the Gems & Jewellery Export Promotion Council.

Even after discounting the falling value of the U.S. dollar, the value of exports rose by nearly a third – 30.65 percent.

But the interesting story is the imports that nearly doubled in value. Polished diamond imports totaled $652.29 million as more than 2.14 million carats were brought into the country. The volume figure does not include imports to the special economic zones.

As the country’s middle class is growing, purchases of diamond jewelry are growing with it, almost hand in hand. In dollars, total polished imports soared 196.74 percent, even while imports to the SEEZs and Bonded Warehouses fell more than 63 percent.

Imports to Surat, India’s diamond manufacturing center, shot up from $6.77 million in April 2007 to $395.72 million last month.

In terms of average value, exports stood at an average of $361.39 per carat, while the average value of imports in April reached $295.80 per carat.

The IIJS Signature Show – Expanding Horizons for the Indian Gems & Jewellery Industry

The Show, organized by Gems and Jewellery Export Promotion Council of India culminated by fulfilling its promise of showcasing the Indian jewellery industry, while providing a platform for business opportunities in a unique and innovative venue. The IIJS Signature show, based in Goa, is a key part of GJEPC’s strategy to position the Indian gem and jewellery industry internationally as the ‘preferred source of quality gems & jewellery’.

Specifically, the IIJS Signature show provides an ideal platform for companies to meet serious buyers from unique countries like Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, and Ukraine, hence providing more opportunities for the Indian jewellery industry and further enhancing India’s position in the global jewellery market.

The emphasis of the show is to portray the potential and strength of the Indian jewellery industry in design and innovation of products ranging from plain gold jewellery, studded jewellery, platinum and silver jewellery. The Chairman of GJEPC, Mr. Sanjay Kothari, commented, “I am proud about the achievement of the Indian Gem and Jewellery Industry. We have ensured that the IIJS Signature show serves as a platform to forge strong and enduring business relationships. The exhibitors were the most renowned companies in India, and their manufacturing abilities are at par with international centers in terms of design quality and craftsmanship.”

IIJS Signature was well received by both buyers and exhibitors. Most of the 100 exhibitors, who were showcasing high-end or couture jewellery for a mixed visitor base of Indian and overseas retailers, reported orders and interest from a variety of buyers from geographical regions as diverse as Russia, Japan, Australia, the United States, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Syria, Dubai and the Kurdish region of northern Iraq.

Mr. Sanjiv Khandelwal, Managing Director of Polygon in India, who attended the show added, “IIJS Signature has set new standards for tradeshows by offering a powerful presentation in an environment most conducive to business and leisure”.

The IIJS Signature initiative to bring in high-end jewellery buyers from across the globe is just one of the steps being made by the industry to further enhance India’s position in the global jewellery market. Polygon—the jewellery industry’s largest e-marketplace—supported the show by conducting various e-marketing campaigns and techniques to attract visitors from its’ strong base in Dubai and the GCC regions.

China Sites Shine New Light on the Web

The event last November had all the earmarks of a big stock launch: photo ops with the charismatic business leader, a crush of international media and the unmistakable buzz that comes with being near the center of the financial universe. Only this wasn’t a stock listed in New York. It was a Chinese business-to-business Web portal called Alibaba.com that was about to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

The performance didn’t disappoint. The opening price, which had struck some analysts as high at $1.75, skyrocketed nearly 200 percent to about $5.10. By the first day’s close, Alibaba.com had raised a near-record $1.5 billion — at the time trailing only the $1.7 billion generated by Google Inc. in 2004 for the largest IPO haul by an Internet company.

These are heady days for Chinese Internet companies — indeed, for Chinese companies in general, which are emerging from assembly-plant anonymity to fashion their own distinct identities. Brand names like Alibaba, Baidu and Taobao may not be household fixtures in the United States, but they are in China. And they’re proving that they can compete against anyone in their home nation, where they have some definite advantages. Baidu is China’s most popular search engine, commanding about 60 percent of the market there — while the mighty Google has only managed to creep up to about 25 percent. Similarly, Taobao, which is another piece of the Alibaba Group — it’s the consumer auction portal that goes along with the newly public business-to-business company — controls upward of 80 percent of the consumer market, with 40 million registered users. And eBay Inc.? Struggling to compete, it purchased an established domestic player — Tom.com — yet its market share still dropped to single digits last summer. (The company declined requests for an interview.)

Just this winter China passed the U.S. as the country with the most people online (220 million). Chinese Internet companies are poised for even better days ahead — often at the expense of established U.S.-based rivals. They’re in the perfect position to reap the richest of harvests: the disposable income of China’s emergent middle class. Though there are still plenty of impediments that inhibit e-commerce in China (few people use credit cards, for instance), Chinese consumers still spent nearly $8.5 billion in cyberspace last year — a far cry from the $136.4 billion U.S. retailers racked up, but nearly double the previous year’s total, according to the China Internet Research Center.

The Alibaba Group — the parent of Alibaba.com — is arguably China’s most impressive Internet outfit. Founded in 1999, it comprises six main businesses. In addition to its consumer and B2B portals, it owns China’s most popular Internet payment company, Alipay, which solved the credit card problem with a bank transfer workaround. Alisoft, its Internet-based business management software, delivers tools that, among other uses, allow Taobao customers to communicate before making deals. Alibaba acquired its search engine, Yahoo China, in 2005, when Yahoo invested $1 billion in Alibaba in exchange for a 39 percent stake in the company. (At press time Alibaba’s reluctance to find itself partly owned by Microsoft Corporation was complicating the software giant’s attempted takeover of Yahoo.) As part of its deal with Alibaba, Yahoo turned over its Chinese business, which was having no greater success cracking the market than the other multinational companies. Stuck at a 10 percent market share, the search engine still lags far behind Baidu and Google. The newest entry, Alimama, allows Web publishers to list their advertising inventory, complete with prices and other pertinent information, and then advertisers can scroll for publications that match their needs and click to complete a deal. Alibaba says it has 4,400 employees working in 30 sales and marketing offices in China, Europe and the United States.
