West Conshohocken’s facilities management firm SMG, has successfully landed a major contract in China for the upcoming Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center, writes Harold Brubaker for Philly.com.

Construction on the Center began in September last year with the first phase expected to open in two years.

When finished, it will provide around 4.3 million-square-feet of exhibition space making it one of the biggest convention centers in the world. In fact, it will be nearly double the size of McCormick Place in Chicago, North America’s biggest meeting and exhibition center.

China’s need for a new center comes as its flagship Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center in Futian is struggling to meet demand. To solve this, the new West Shenzhen center will be the new destination for larger fairs, while the Shenzhen Center will continue to host smaller ones.

“We look forward to operating a world-class facility in China’s most progressive international business center,” said Wes Westley, SMG president and chief executive. SMG currently manages over 15 million-square-feet of exhibition space in more than 230 facilities.
