Switzerland, UJI STAR from Japan, BLACK JACK, GARDEX, MEDALLAY EXPORTS from India, KOISS, CAYMAN from Korea, KARBOSAN from Turkey as well as pavilions organised by various countries and regions such as Germany, India, Korea, as well as the Importers and Exporters Association of Taipei, and the Hardware Hand Tool Manufacturers’ Association displayed their representative products. “To better promote the hardware industry of the self-owned brand of Hebei Province, Hebei brand promotion zone has been created at CIHS and 11 high quality manufacturers exhibited here. Our exhibitors expressed high compliments about having more profes- sional buyers than last year, among them, strong purchasing intentions were declared from overseas buyers from Russia, India, Romania and Thailand.” Ms. Wang Jing, Deputy Director of Hebei Provincial Conven- tion & Exhibition Promotion Center praised the show. “Moreover, the exhibitors got acquainted with a certain amount of local buyers through the networking programme, which helped to extend the market.” The quality of trade buyers has improved substantial- ly 50,000 international and local visitors comprised of a majority of key importers and distributors from the tool, lock and security, building hardware, mechanical and electrical equipment industry visited the show to discover new products and explore business opportunities. “I have attended the CIHS very regularly and I am very impressed. I found many excellent stands of Chinese manufacturers with high quality products here at CIHS. I will send a recommendation to all the members to come to this show, because they will meet Chinese manufacturers at this fair that wouldn’t meet in Europe. So, I really think this is the ‘must go’ fair for the buyers of major companies who are members,” John Herbert, General Secretary of EDRA/ghin commented positively. Inspiring supporting programme added more value to the show As a significant platform enhancing the effect of exhibitors’ participation and amplify- ing their influence in the industry, CIHS has devoted itself to gradually improving the quality and connotation of the supporting programme over the past decade. The networking activity held on-site has gained good reputation by the invited exhibitors and buyers, and both parties benefited from the casual environment designed for communication, experience exchange and business exploration. Moreover, the newly set Classic & Innovation Gallery featured the selected products that fit into the character- istics of cutting-edge technologies and enduring high-quality products with innovative concepts. Addition- al exposure of the products at the gallery had generated visitors’ attention and more business opportunities were brought to the exhibitors. During the show period, the Second Gold Hook for Locks organised by CNHA and China Industrial Design Association (CIDA) concluded with a complete success. In the meantime, forums and seminars such as Grinding & Cutting Application Technology Forum, Anping Silk Screen Centennial Activities, Intelligent Hardware Industry Innovation Summit BBS (Shanghai station) & Intelligent Hardware Driven Real Estate Fine Decoration Scene Intelligence, International Open Locks Competition and Intelligent Locks Dealers Conference provided visitors with diverse angles of insight to the industry. Co-located sub-industrial exhibitions set the new milestone The first debut of two co-located sub-industrial exhibitions during CIHS this year facilitated the compre- hensive development of the hardware industry. 300 exhibitors from the fastener, nail, door & window, furniture hardware and locks & accessories industry showcased their representative products and latest technologies at China International Building Hardware & Fasteners Show and China International Locks & Security Show. The visitors from these sectors benefited from a more concentrated presentation and the opportunities of exhibitors to meet the targeted buyers were being increased at the same time.
