On September 10-12, the 18th China International Hardware Expo sponsored by China’s Wujiao Business Association was held in Guangzhou Canton Fair. The first “Abrasive Abrasives Special Zone†was established at this exhibition, which was inseparable from the organization and struggle of the Guangdong Provincial Abrasives Specialist Committee. The reporter interviewed the Chairman of the Guangdong Provincial Abrasives Professional Committee Lian Weiji (hereinafter referred to as "Chairman").
I: This is the first time that the abrasives industry has set up a special zone at the exhibition. Can you briefly talk about the beginning and end of the zone?
Even the President: The 18th China International Hardware Fair returned to Guangzhou after a fifteen-year period. As a result, many companies came to the exhibition, especially exhibitors from Guangdong Province and the Pearl River Delta. The venue is in Guangzhou, which is of great significance to the establishment of the zone. Because of the large number of exhibitors and large-scale enterprises, this also provides the preconditions for the establishment of the zone. Another is that for the first time, abrasives have formed an independent branch from the hardware industry. This is a good start.
The author: At the exhibition, the idea of ​​setting up an abrasive grinding area, when did the association start brewing, and what efforts have been made for this?
Even the president: In fact, since 2008, the association has had the idea of ​​setting up a special zone at the exhibition, and has continuously proposed to the organizers and sponsors of the China International Hardware Expo to open abrasives area, but for some objective reasons has not been To achieve this, this year finally got his wish to set up an abrasive grinding area. In this regard, we would especially like to thank the leaders of China’s Wujiao Chemical Association Peng Baoquan and other leaders for their care and support.
Author: The establishment of a special zone, what are the benefits for our industry and business?
Even the president: The benefits of the establishment of the zone are obvious and it is also multifaceted. The first is to help exhibitors to obtain the best exhibiting results. Open up a dedicated area to focus on displaying the brand enterprises of the abrasives industry, so that we can focus our professional customers on one-stop services for exhibition procurement. Visitors can conduct comparisons of similar products without running many exhibition halls, and the efficiency of visits has increased.
Followed by the benefits brought to the association. Through this exhibition, enterprises get benefits. The work of the association has also been recognized by the majority of members and non-members, which is more conducive to the association's work. Many non-member companies also specifically found me and proposed to join the large family of the association at the exhibition site. This is because companies truly feel that such group activities such as group exhibitions can bring real benefits and benefits to the company. .
In the long run, it will bring benefits to the development of the industry. Enterprises around the association Baotuan, cohesion is stronger. Only the vigorous development of the enterprise can promote the development of the industry.
The author: This is the first time that the association organizes the mill enterprise to participate in the exhibition. What do you think is the disadvantage of this exhibition in the form of a special zone and where improvement is needed?
Even the president: Although the effect of the group's participation in the exhibition was relatively obvious, the participating companies were mainly concentrated in the grinding enterprises in Guangdong Province. The grinding enterprises in other provinces and cities were still scattered, and the products exhibited were mainly concentrated on grinding wheels and cutting discs. There are relatively few types of products such as belts and belts. Coated abrasives are used in a wide range of industries, so the "one-stop service" for this exhibition is still lacking. In the future, the association will work hard in this respect to not only do practical things for the grinding enterprises in Guangdong Province, but also to unite industry associations in other provinces and cities, hoping to drive the development of the entire industry.
The author: Please briefly talk about the association's next plan.
Even the president: Starting from this exhibition, there will be an area dedicated to abrasives after the Shanghai Exhibition in March next year. It will be more focused, more experienced, and better than this. In the future, the association will also do more work in this area, which will bring tangible benefits to the company and make the association more united and more cohesive. This is also the purpose of the Guangdong Provincial Abrasives Professional Committee.
