Close encounters

No computer program, even the most sophisticated one, can substitute personal experience. No virtual tour, even the most realistic one, can replace a stroll through vibrant Shanghai. Similarly no computer screen, even the most advanced, can convey all the beauty and spirit that are embedded in magical creations from genuine Czech crystal.

Fortunately, there are still many believers in authentic experiences. Therefore, it is essential to hold events such as Expo 2010 Shanghai. Meeting one another face-to-face will help us get to know and understand each other.

I believe Expo 2010 Shanghai will contribute to this wonderful experience.

CEO, Preciosa Group, Czech Republic
