China is one of the hottest emerging economic markets in the world, and it represents a huge untapped audience for those who advertise with Gear Solutions magazine. In response, Gear Solutions China will be offered to members of the Chinese gear-manufacturing industry on a quarterly basis, sent as an e-mailed PDF link and filled with select articles and columns deemed suitable for that readership. Our efforts will also be sponsored by the China Gear Manufacturing Association (CGMA), which has agreed to make the magazine available on its Web site while also providing access to its e-mail distribution list. By appearing in Gear Solutions China, advertisers will also avoid China’s new anti-spam regulations and have information about their products and services delivered straight to this vast and growing market. So join us is in this venture and allow us to spread the word about your company’s capabilities to thousands of potential new clients. All best:

Russ Willcutt, Managing Editor
