A large number of top-selected enterprises from Liaoning have leveraged this international trade event to expand their "circle of friends," secure new orders, and showcase the new momentum and vitality of "Liaoning Manufacturing" to the world.

"Old Canton Fair" Transformation and Upgrading, Actively Developing New Cooperation Liaoning MEC Group Co., Ltd., as a comprehensive foreign trade service platform in Liaoning Province, has for many years leveraged the Canton Fair platform to build bridges for enterprises to "go global," allowing more overseas buyers to understand China's industrial processing equipment, and also providing more services and channels for small and medium-sized enterprises in Liaoning to "go out." "The larger the 'Canton Fair circle of friends' and the higher the popularity, especially with the increasing number of buyers from countries participating in the 'Belt and Road' initiative, it provides enterprises with opportunities to expand into more emerging markets." As a "veteran of the Canton Fair" for decades, Xu Yanfeng, Vice President of MEC Group, has profound feelings about the changes that the Canton Fair has undergone in step with the times. "Against the backdrop of the accelerating evolution of the world's century-long changes and the profound transformation of the global economic and trade situation, the role of the Canton Fair has also changed. It is no longer just a platform for showcasing new products and facilitating cooperation, but also an important frontline for enterprises to develop and innovate, promote the integrated development of online and offline businesses, and innovate cross-border e-commerce development models."

Xu Yanfeng stated that in the field of industrial processing equipment, foreign buyers now not only value product quality and price but also expect companies to provide better localized services. As an international trader, the Mike Group has been helping Liaoning equipment manufacturing enterprises to explore the international market by constructing an overseas marketing service system through multiple dimensions, implementing the "pre-shipment financing" service model, and utilizing digital marketing technology. In response to the new trend of global digital trade, the company has been actively assisting enterprises in digital marketing of their brands in recent years, aiming to create landmark brands for Chinese manufacturing in the overseas market.

As of the specified date, this session of the Canton Fair has attracted over 10,000 overseas buyers from 200 countries and regions around the world to participate in-person, a growth of 1.12% compared to the previous session. Among them, buyers from countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative exceeded 100,000, accounting for 10.2%, with a growth of 1.08%. Liaoning-based exhibitors have leveraged the opportunities presented by the Canton Fair to explore new avenues for cooperation. "This session of the Canton Fair has seen a series of processing equipment products represented by our company being favored by numerous buyers from India, the Philippines, Chile, South Africa, Algeria, and more, resulting in many potential orders," Xu Yanfeng expressed confidence in the future, "The deepening of the Belt and Road Initiative will provide more opportunities for 'Made in Liaoning' to go global. Enterprises should regard improving product quality and brand competitiveness as the golden key to seizing growth opportunities, enabling more new Chinese brands to set sail and reach far."

"New Canton Fair" returns with full cargo, actively exploring new markets. Innovative design, superior product quality, and a wide range of product types... Dandong Wolgan Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. made its debut at the Canton Fair and quickly attracted the attention of numerous overseas buyers with its high-value, high-quality small feed processing machinery. Gao Muxuan, the company's foreign trade manager, could hardly hide her joy as she told the reporter, "On the second day of the exhibition, two buyers from Eastern Europe came to our booth and paid a deposit within five minutes, taking away our sample machine; on the third day, an African buyer came and placed an order for all the remaining sample machines. This Canton Fair trip has far exceeded our expectations!"

The first-time participation in the exhibition brought a "red-letter start," filling Gao Muxuan with confidence in expanding into the international market: "The Canton Fair gathers buyers from all over the world, and we have met many buyers from Europe, which is a zero breakthrough for our company. There are also buyers from countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative, with whom we have signed many intent orders, showing us the huge potential of these markets." What has won the favor of buyers? Gao Muxuan explained that the company holds multiple patents, including design patents, with products featuring novel and unique appearances, and the bright red body is very eye-catching. Additionally, some products use one-time stamping technology, with seamless shells, high toughness, and long service life; the internal independent working cabin can process feed shapes suitable for different animals, meeting the needs of various farms.

Gao Muxuan stated that the successful participation in this exhibition would not have been possible without the strong support and assistance provided by the Dandong Municipal Bureau of Commerce. Six months before the exhibition, the Bureau guided them step by step in product preparation, exhibition experience, how to communicate with buyers, and sales techniques, enabling them to participate smoothly. It is expected that the company's exports will achieve significant growth this year. A relevant official from the Dandong Municipal Bureau of Commerce said that to better assist local enterprises in participating in the exhibition, the Bureau actively organized pre-exhibition publicity, helped participating enterprises familiarize themselves with all aspects of the Canton Fair, and guided enterprises to fully utilize the Canton Fair to find new business opportunities, meet new clients, sign new orders, capture new markets, and gain new benefits. "Facing multiple challenges both domestically and internationally, the Dandong Municipal Bureau of Commerce is committed to resolving difficulties for enterprises, proactively playing its functional role, adopting multiple measures to help enterprises enhance their international business capabilities, strengthen trade risk prevention, assist enterprises in exploring international markets, and promote high-quality development of foreign trade," the official said.

Yingkou Lide Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. is also a "new face" at the Canton Fair. The company mainly produces and sells automotive lifting machines, tire changers, balancers, and other automotive maintenance and inspection equipment, with products exported to countries and regions such as Europe, America, the Middle East, and Australia. "This time, we mainly aim to explore the Central Asian market at the Canton Fair, as the local market demand is huge, and the company wants to seize the policy opportunities to strategically position itself in the Central Asian market. For this purpose, the company has even specially hired Russian translators," said Fang Fang, a relevant person in charge of the company. She added that the company has had a fruitful participation, meeting many Central Asian buyers and securing numerous intent orders, "with several customers even placing orders on the spot!"

In Fang Fang's view, at the Canton Fair, enterprises not only made new clients, secured new orders, but also strengthened exchanges with domestic and international peers, grasped the development trends and movements of the international market, which was an extremely rare opportunity for the company. She expressed gratitude to the Municipal Bureau of Commerce and the Canton Fair for the support provided to enterprises. "Next year, we will return with new products!"
