DÜSSELDORF, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The world’s largest trade fair for medical technology, Medica, will be opening its doors in Düsseldorf from November 16 to 19.

Eight other companies will be exhibiting in a special showcase area.
The Hong Kong manufacturers offer appliances, instruments, disposable medical products and equipment for hospitals, doctors’ practices and consumers, with the focus being on products for private households.

The Hong Kong companies profit from this development: From January to September 2011, the metropolis exported medical and healthcare products to a value of USD 1.018 billion – an increase of 10.1 % in comparison to last year. Following the Chinese mainland, USA and Japan, Germany was one of the main export countries. From January to September, the Federal Republic imported goods to a value of USD 35.2 million (+19 %). In addition, Hong Kong is an important gateway for exports to the Chinese mainland (+12 % from January to September).
