On the fifth day of the 135th Canton Fair, with the exhibition of eco-friendly new energy products, advanced industrial products and intelligent home appliances labeled “Made in China” are attracting buyers from all over the world, competing to place orders and breaking transaction records.
Jinhua, Zhejiang province-based SunMaster is a manufacturer of light and solar panels. Its products have been sold to more than 120 countries. The 135th session marks the company’s first offline exhibition at Canton Fair. It hopes to open up more markets via the platform, especially the Middle East and Africa.
A company executive said that its brand new 360-degree solar column can absorb both direct and reflected sunlight at all times. It improves the photoelectric conversion efficiency. The vertically designed solar panels are more suitable for the climate in the Middle East. In response to the severe shortage of electricity in many African families, the company has customized solar panels suitable for their needs.
“Products tailored to the segmented market can quickly attract target customers. In the first two days of the fair, besides a $220,000 contract with Nigeria, we also secured intention orders valued at $600,000 with buyers from Yemen, Pakistan and Bangladesh. A buyer confirmed a monthly purchase order valued at around $400,000 and plans to visit our factory after the fair.”
Unlike previous sessions, the Tianjin-based Sunrise Machinery has introduced a flagship production line composed of multiple packaging machines.
After inputting the raw materials into the filling container, users can see the production line automatically complete multiple processes according to the program, including production processing, metering filling, bag making and sealing, cutting and coding, as well as counting and packaging. Moreover, it has a smaller size, lower energy consumption and higher processing rate, making it particularly suitable for the food, daily chemical, dairy, food ingredients and tea industries, said the booth manager, adding that the product has attracted many buyers from Europe, America and Central Asia.
As one of the new driving forces for foreign trade growth, new energy vehicles, lithium batteries and solar cell products have been sought after by numerous buyers at this Canton Fair.
Afore New Energy Technology (Shanghai) is attending the fair for the first time. As a leading manufacturer of photovoltaic inverters, the company’s exports reached 140 million yuan ($19.33 million) in 2023.
“We have established sales, storage and after-sales service centers in major global photovoltaic markets, providing users with reliable quality and comprehensive service for photovoltaic inverters and systems,” said the company’s marketing manager.
The company has brought its latest star product, an all-in-one energy storage system, to this fair. The modular design makes it easy to install and suitable for various installation scenarios, providing users with safer, more intelligent and more reliable energy storage.
“We hope to use the fair as a platform to open up emerging markets, including countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative. Since the opening of the fair, we have been receiving 40 to 50 buyers per day and negotiated cooperation with numerous buyers from Poland, Austria, India, Pakistan the Philippines and Thailand,” said a spokesperson.
On the fifth day of the 135th fair’s first phase, many new and old guests of Canton Fair were invited to an event featuring Jiangmen manufacturing. More than 50 companies and 200-plus exquisite products made in Guangdong’s Jiangmen demonstrate the strength of the city’s manufacturing industry and foreign trade development.
The Jiangmen exhibition area is divided into several sections, including low-altitude economy, automotive and motorcycle vehicles, smart home appliances, kitchen equipment for commercial use and intelligent lighting. Since the first day of the fair, the area has been packed with buyers.
The low-altitude economy industry is one of the 10 emerging industries in Jiangmen. The city is making great effort to support the development of low-altitude aircraft’s research and production, said a representative from the Guangdong Trade Group.
