RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. – Longistics, a full-service provider of global logistics solutions, and Rare Bird Trading Company have announced the signing of three Raleigh, N.C.-based exhibitors to showcase their products and services at the Suzhou Industrial Park International Commodities Exhibition Center in Suzhou, China. The exhibitors include the Angus Barn; BJAC, pa; and the Turnberry Interior Design Group. All will be able to store, promote and sell merchandise, products and services at the Exhibition Center, which will celebrate its grand opening in late fall 2011.

The Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP) International Commodities Exhibition Center offers companies the opportunity to reach millions of new customers interested in purchasing their products or services. It is a continuous exhibition space that can be used as a forward staging area of products or services for sale and distribution in China, as well as re-export to other Pacific Rim countries.

The Angus Barn, owned and operated by Van Eure, is an award-winning steakhouse with one of the largest wine cellars in the United States. The restaurant, which has served in-house aged beef and fresh seafood since 1960, will offer products such as BBQ sauce, dry rubs, peanuts, black pepper honey, poppy seed dressing, coffee and caramel sauce at the Exhibition Center.

BJAC, pa is an architectural firm offering services for specialized, complex institutional projects. BJAC provides design expertise to healthcare, research, K-20 education, museum and municipal clients, through architectural design, master planning, interior design, construction management and design build services. Established in 1994 by Managing Principal Lou Jurkowski, the company plans to participate in the medical and academic medicine construction market in China using U.S. facility and technology models.

The Turnberry Interior Design Group specializes in all aspects of interior and exterior design. With more than 40 years in the interior design business, Turnberry includes designers from across North Carolina, including Raleigh, Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Siler City and Cary. Turnberry will offer high end, designer home furnishings such as upholstery, casegoods, floor coverings, artwork and accessories for residential and commercial needs, as well as contract furnishings for the hospitality industry.
