Michiel Kruse (58) is assuming responsibility for Koelnmesse's business in Mainland China, succeeding Keith Tsui, who is leaving the company at his own request. Mathias Küpper (48) will assume management responsibility for the subsidiary in Hong Kong, as part of his existing role as Vice President Asia-Pacific.

科隆展览（北京）有限公司董事总经理崔国豪先生，因谋求新的职业发展而离开科隆。即日起，Michiel Kruse（58岁）将负责科隆中国的业务。同时，亚太区副总裁Mathias Küpper（48岁）将负责科隆香港的业务。中国大陆和香港是科隆公司非常关注的业务区域，自2002年子公司成立，便担任起了中国展商参展科隆的桥梁。

"The Chinese market is an important part of our trade fair business," emphasises Gerald Böse, CEO of Koelnmesse GmbH. "Our trade fair events in China are either firmly established or promising new developments. The numerous exhibitors and visitors from Mainland China and Hong Kong also play an integral role in the success of the trade fair business in Cologne and abroad. In the future, we will continue to focus on expansion in the region with further development of existing trade fairs as well as exciting new projects."

“中国市场是我们公司展览业务的重要组成部分。”Gerald Böse，Koelnmesse GmbH首席执行官强调道，“我们在中国有非常成熟的展会，也有正在培育且具有良好发展前景的展会。来自中国大陆和香港的众多参展商和观众也对科隆以及我们在其他国家或地区业务的成功发挥着不可或缺的作用。我们将持续专注于扩大中国的业务，进一步加强现有的展会，同时推出更多的新项目。"

Michiel Kruse will assume responsibility for the business in China including the offices in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. He has been active in the trade fair industry for over 20 years. His career began as International Director at VNU Exhibitions Asia in Shanghai, where he spent almost ten years getting to know and building up the trade fair business and its network in China. After senior management roles at UBM Asia and Clarion Events Asia, he most recently worked as an independent industry consultant, advising local and international trade fair organisers on the development and expansion of their trade fair and congress business with a focus on Asia. "I am very much looking forward to using my network and my experience for Koelnmesse in the future and further strengthening the business in China together with the team," says Kruse.

Michiel Kruse将负责科隆中国的业务，其中包含北京、上海和广州3个分子公司。他已深耕展览行业超过20年。他的展览职业生涯始于上海VNU Exhibitions Asia的国际部总监。随后近10年的时间里，他了解展览行业，开拓展览业务及其在中国的网络。之后担任了UBM Asia高级管理职位。近年来，他在新加坡从事展览咨询业务，为当地和国际展览公司提供展览和会议业务开拓和扩张方面的咨询，其业务主要集中在亚洲。“我非常期待利用我的业务网络和经验带领科隆中国的团队进一步加强科隆在中国的业务”，Kruse先生表示。

Mathias Küpper, Vice President Asia-Pacific of Koelnmesse, will assume management responsibility for the subsidiary in Hong Kong. Küpper is also responsible as Managing Director for the subsidiaries in Singapore, Thailand and Taiwan region. "I am familiar with our business in Hong Kong, as I have already worked there as General Manager for Koelnmesse," reports Küpper. "I am looking forward to new challenges and expanding the business there."

Mathias Küpper，作为科隆亚太区副总裁兼新加坡、泰国和台湾公司董事总经理将负责科隆香港的业务。“我曾经担任过科隆香港的总经理，非常熟悉科隆在香港地区的业务” Küpper先生表示，“我非常期待迎接新的挑战并扩大香港的业务！”

Both colleagues succeed Keith Tsui, who has been responsible for the business in China and Hong Kong since 2018. Tsui is leaving Koelnmesse at his own request to take on a new professional challenge. Together with his team, he has successfully shaped the business in our offices in Mainland China and Hong Kong since 2018, strengthening the foundation and potential of our local China business. He led the subsidiaries through the challenging COVID years and successfully brought Chinese sales beyond pre-COVID levels in 2023 as a new sales record in China.
