The China Import and Export Fair, known as the Canton Fair, was founded in 1957 and is now one of the world’s largest fairs in terms of the number of exhibitors and attendees.
Companies from all over the world travel to China to obtain the latest industry trends and work directly with manufacturers. However, the reality is quite different, and finding the right supplier is challenging as the fair mainly features trading companies, representing approximately 85%, compared to 10% of assembly factories, and the remaining are actual manufacturers.
The main attraction of the fair lies in what is exhibited: an immense world of possibilities, some with real potential and others with a vision somewhat distant from current times.
How to Obtain a List of Real Manufacturers by Product at the Canton Fair 2016?
It is truly impossible to know because all exhibitors claim to be manufacturers when they are actually trading companies. To exhibit at the fair, the government and organizers require factories to have a minimum turnover, which is unachievable for most factories but not for the trading companies that dominate much of what is manufactured in China. These commercial satellites or trading companies gain access to manufacturers and pose as them.
Another solution is to contact cost reduction, manufacturing, and import specialists in China, such as Bull Importer, which has its own office and acts as an agent and advisor for companies interested in manufacturing and reducing their current purchasing costs.
With over 25 years dedicated exclusively to management in China and with inspectors, production controllers, purchasing managers, and import managers under one roof, Bull Importer has successfully managed thousands of imports, handling all tasks in China as if it were the first time.
Bull Importer does not have fixed costs; instead, it acts as a temporary, operation-based purchasing, manufacturing, and import department.
Want to Attend the Canton Fair 2016 with a Translator and Interlocutor?
We know it may not be the most cost-effective, as our many years of experience show that to get the best prices, we should avoid the fair where we only find trading companies. However, if you wish to attend and want a trusted person to translate on the spot, guide you through the fair, advise you, and inform you of everything necessary, Bull Importer can provide a personal assistant.
Moreover, Bull Importer can then advise you and locate manufacturers for that product, eliminating intermediaries and improving unit profitability through efficient purchasing management.
