Companies from Southeast Asia as well as India came to our booth for quotations, and some even placed orders. Wire & Cable Guangzhou is an important platform to promote high-end products domestically and internationally.”
Another exhibitor at the fair, Mr Hou Jieming, Deputy General Manager of Shenzhen Bendakang Cable Holding Co Ltd, shared the same sentiments. He said: “We returned to the fair again this year because it constantly draws high quality industry buyers. Electric enterprises have organised delegations and we can showcase our products directly to engineers or sourcing managers. The Wire and Cable Asia Forum also helped inspire us in developing next-generation products.”
Mr Li Qing Hung, Sales Manager of Asian Electric Appliances & Cable Technology Co Ltd, participated at the show to connect with clients. He commented: “As exhibitors, it is important for domestic companies like ourselves to create a branding worldwide, and this fair is able to help us achieve that goal. This year we connected with a Spanish exhibitor and provided them with quotations. We look forward to working closely with them in the future. I am very grateful for this event and will without a doubt return again for the next edition.”
Comprehensive and quality products fulfilled buyers’ sourcing needs
The wide variety of products on offer highlighted industry innovations coming out of South China, and met the diverse demands of buyers from around the world. Mr Matthias Muller, General Manager of Johann Leimbach Ltd form Germany, came to China the first time searching for business opportunities. He expressed: “Our goal was to find domestic cable manufacturers and business partners who have the capacity for manufacturing the high quality cables that our company is known for. Fortunately, here at the fair, I was able to network with a number of cable manufactures who seemed interested in our business proposal.”
Fellow visitor Mr Nilson Romao, Business Development Manager of Doch Trading & Consultancy Group from Brazil, returned to the fair for the third time. He expressed: “The wire and cable products found in China are suitable for Latin America countries as they are economical and high quality. In the past two editions we were able to find the right products, and this year we are here to connect with suppliers specialising in computer and USB cables. Overall we were very satisfied with the fair and were pleased to see it evolve with a wider variety of products, and we look forward to the future editions of the show.”
