HONG KONG , Oct. 12 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Due to strong demand from both buyers and suppliers, Global Sources (Nasdaq: GSOL) ( http://www.globalsources.com ) plans to expand its growing Security Products Pavilion at the China Sourcing Fair: Electronics & Components to become a specialized China Sourcing Fair: Security Products.

The two shows are scheduled to be co-located at AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong every April and October, starting Oct. 12-15, 2009 . The China Sourcing Fair: Security Products is set to feature pavilions for CCTV & digital surveillance, access controls, alarms and home security.
Global Sources' Executive Director, Sarah Benecke , said: "Every business, from schools and retailers to airports and hospitals, needs security products -- ranging from alarms and locks to CCTV and fire protection. Increasingly, consumers are also looking to protect their families by investing in home and car security systems.
"We are confident that this new show will be a winner, as ever-changing technology, government legislation, increased security threats and an increase in construction throughout the world are also helping to fuel growing global demand for security products. A strong indication of demand is the more than 1.1 million requests for information that volume buyers sent to security products suppliers on Global Sources Online for the twelve-month period ending June 2008 .
"Our new, dedicated show for security products is the perfect platform in Hong Kong for Greater China suppliers to meet face-to-face with professional buyers who need to satisfy this massive demand.
"Just some of the buyers we regularly see at our Security Products Pavilion at the Electronics & Components show include big international names such as Best Buy, Bosch, Carrefour, Chubb, Circuit City, Halfords, Home Depot, Kesa Electricals, Kingfisher, Panasonic and Sony."
A Security Products Pavilion will continue to feature at the Electronics & Components shows in Mumbai, India this Nov. 14-16 (to be managed by Pico Event Management under license from Global Sources), and in Hong Kong , April 12-15, 2009 .
