Brief Overview About LIMA Langkawi 2011.
Malaysia is once again proud to play host to the 11th edition of the LIMA Exhibition, which will be held from 6 -- 10 December 2011 in Langkawi.

The Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition is the premier destination for aerospace and maritime manufacturers targeting the Asia Pacific growth markets. For nearly 22 years, LIMA has been serving exhibitor needs by assembling key decision makers from the defence, enforcement and civil sectors. In 2009, over 210 delegations from 40 countries gathered in Langkawi Island representing what was essentially this exact market in the world. LIMA's carefully crafted programmes gave exhibitors the opportunity to access this invaluable market and help grow their business.

Since its inception in 1991, LIMA has gone from strength. From 150 companies in 1991, it attracted more than 450 companies from 25 countries with almost RM5 billion worth of business generated in the last exhibition held in 2009, and has now become one of the world's premier aerospace exhibitions.
