Bowman China Shines at Conferences Throughout May – and Throughout China

May, 2018 – Bowman China exhibited Bowman XRF technology at major trade shows in Changzhou, Qingdao, and Chongqing.

The Changzhou event attracted 20,000 visitors from eastern China. The event in Qingdao, formally sponsored by Bowman, was the 5th Bohai Surfacing & Plating Forum, coordinated by the regional plating association. Chongqing Surface Finishing EXPO, in western China, attracted 12,000+ surface finishing professionals.

Congratulations to Arthur He and his team for 3 superb exhibits – and their captivating demonstrations of the P Series – the “small-feature XRF” that is also industry’s most flexible XRF in terms of sample sizes, shapes, and throughput.
