CMM Intl. show management says it is close to selling all of its allocated AIMCAL Pavilion space at the 2005 event, and the popular collection of exhibits may double in size from CMM Intl. 2003.

The AIMCAL Pavilion, dubbed "The World Of Metallizing, Coating, and Laminating Solutions," has sold 1,960 sq ft for next spring's show—a 75 percent increase over the 1,120 sq ft at the 2003 event. CMM Intl. will be held at Chicago's Mc-Cormick Place South April 18–21, 2005.
