Driven by the Canton Fair, many foreign buyers have been visiting local factories in Guangdong Province to explore deeper cooperation, demonstrating the event's crucial role as a platform for strengthening business ties.
A household appliance maker in the manufacturing powerhouse city of Dongguan recently welcomed a group of customers from Canada.
After successful negotiations, the two sides signed a contract, with the company's new products expected to enter the Canadian market by October this year.
"I'm very impressed with the products that I have seen today. I feel that there could be a really good relationship that we could grow with your company. There are other options that we see on the floor that we can implement into our products, and then we can look at opportunities in the future," said James, a Canadian buyer.
