GLEN RAVEN, NC -- July 13, 2010 -- Glen Raven Asia is participating in the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, which is set to run through October. With a total budget of more than $4 billion (nearly double the cost of the Beijing Olympics), the Shanghai World Expo is one of this year's most important world trade and economic development events.

"More than 70 millions visitors from around the world will visit the Expo, which makes it an extremely important global event," said Ping Gu, Glen Raven Asia sales manager. "The theme of 'Better City, Better Life' is ideal for the shade and sun protection products we offer."
