Participants share their feedback of Wire & Cable Guangzhou:
Exhibitor:
“This is the fourth time we have joined the show. Our goal this year is to present to the market our project solutions and the power of our management systems. We would also like to explore more new client relationships, including both local and overseas buyers. The fair not only gathers famous brands, the fair also gathers lots of professional, practical and mature application technologies. It is a very good opportunity for entrepreneurs to explore the industry at one time as the show is so comprehensive.”
Mr Jie Xing, Administrative Department Manager, Hengtong Submarine Power Cable Co Ltd
“We have participated in this show for almost ten years. Our company mainly provides different kinds of wire & cable equipment for manufacturers and residential electricity consumption. Our main goal is to get in touch with our customers through this show, of which over 80% actually come to meet us. Our corporate image and market exposure are also greatly enhanced by being present. We met many high quality visitors at the fair, including many project managers, factory owners and industry professionals.”
Mr Zanyang Xie, General Manager, Gemyoung Wire & Cable Equipment Co Ltd
Speaker:
“This is the first time I have joined the show and the forum and I can see various famous exhibitors from China and America. I have also been able to meet with a lot of Chinese and overseas industry elites. It is a comprehensive show and I think the arrangement of the show and the forum are really on point with content that is on track with market trends.”
Mr Pan Erchao, Application Engineering Section, Hitachi Instruments (Shanghai) Co Ltd
“WCAF is a very professional platform and it is a good opportunity for us to exchange our thoughts with the gathered industry experts together. The content of the forum meets the needs of the market. For instance, the presentation I delivered was about EV charging cables, which is currently a hot topic no matter in the east or the west, and the reaction of the audience was very good. So I think it is absolutely necessary to organise such kinds of events every year.”
Mr Leo Yang, Commercial Products Components Group Supervisor, TÜV Rheinland
Attendee:
“I am an engineer in the wire & cable industry. I joined the forum to learn more about and research new suppliers of manufacture materials. The forum is very educational and inspiring with various topics covering new advances in new energy technology and products. It is very helpful to our research as it gave us a better understanding of the market direction and potential development trends in the industry. The strong line-up of speakers was also an advantage, which further increased the credibility of the forum.”
Mr Dongxu Cheng, Engineer, Guangdong Tin Hung Cable Co Ltd
Visitor:
“We provide machinery solutions to customers in Portugal who offer machinery to other countries in South America, Africa and South Asia. I come to GIWC to look for power and wire solutions for gas-operated vessels. I found several potential suppliers already. China has a good array of solutions and the capability to provide what I need. The machinery quality displayed at the show is very good. Contrary to general impressions, the quality of Chinese products has greatly increased over the past 20 years. Overall speaking, it is a good show.”
Mr Neri Felip, CEO, Okact Renting Maquinas Lda, Portugal
