Informa Yacht Group acquires PIMEX

By IBI Magazine

Informa Yacht Group (IYG), owner of the Monaco and Abu Dhabi yacht shows, has acquired the Phuket International Marine Expo (PIMEX) in Thailand for an undisclosed sum.

Launched in 2003, PIMEX is said to be the largest boat show in South East Asia. This year's event will take place from December 4-7 at the new Royal Phuket Marina Exhibition and Conference Centre, which now covers some 2,500sq m of space in a purpose-built exhibition hall alongside the water.

"We are really excited about the future of the marine industry in the region, and we hope that our experience and considerable network will propel PIMEX to new heights and ensure that it is positioned to serve all aspects of this rapidly growing market," says IYG managing director Will Morris.

As the yachting events division of Informa PLC, IYG owns a number of leading superyacht and other marine events, including the Monaco Yacht Show, Abu Dhabi Yacht Show, the Superyacht Cup, the Beijing Boat Show, The World Yacht Racing Forum Monaco, and the Mediterranean Workboat Show.
