Looking back at the 2016 China International Hardware Show, tool hardware is undoubtedly the biggest hot spot on the show. The hardware exhibition not only gathered famous domestic and foreign companies, but also displayed a large number of innovative products. All of this has built a vast platform for practitioners in the tool hardware industry at home and abroad to exchange what is needed, exchange and learn together.

　　As the world's largest tool and hardware manufacturer, China occupies more than half of the global manufacturing share, and has an unshakable position in the world. At the same time, the long-term development of the industry has also spawned batches of outstanding tool and hardware manufacturers. These outstanding companies have supported a new image of China's hardware industry at this hardware exhibition.

　　Foreign pavilions seek business opportunities

　　 "Looking for China, Asia Pacific and global agents!" In the Tool International Pavilion, a company named "Alit" from the German Pavilion put up such a poster on its booth.

　　 just sent away the exhibitors who came to discuss cooperation, the relevant responsible personnel of the company took time out to introduce their situation to the reporter. It is reported that they have participated in the China International Hardware Show for the fourth time this year. “When the China International Hardware Show was held in Pudong, we have been participating. Now we have moved to Hongqiao and we have also followed.” The person in charge of the company told reporters that this German company specializing in the production of toolboxes is passing the exhibition. The big platform of win-win cooperation keeps meeting new friends. "A lot of visitors have come to negotiate with us at this exhibition. It is obvious that there will be more people this year than last year. Therefore, we will come next year."

　　 Like "Alit", some small and medium-sized enterprises from the Taiwan Pavilion also expressed that the heat of the exhibition is getting higher year by year. "You go slowly, we will bring new products next year." Manager Shi, the head of Huangying Enterprise Co., Ltd. from Taiwan, just sent away an old customer who has been working with them for many years. She told reporters that during the exhibition, many old customers of the company had come to her to talk about their past. "As soon as we heard that we are going to participate in the China International Hardware Show this year, some old customers who are close to us will come to say hello. We will also attract some new guests. Through the past few years, we will continue to participate in the exhibition. It also made us recognize more friends.” Manager Shi just opened the chat box here, ready to introduce one or two hand tools brought from Taiwan to reporters, and two businessmen from Indonesia walked into her. In the booth where the company is located, I consulted her about products in English. Manager Shi had to hurriedly said the above words to the reporter, and greeted the new guests enthusiastically.

　　 The reporter looked around and found that there were almost all merchants on the booths of several Taiwanese tool companies participating in the exhibition.

As the highlight of this exhibition, the first China-Europe Tool Hardware Development Summit provided a good interpretation of "tool manufacturing and market construction under the interconnection model", laying a foundation for how China and Europe can develop closer exchanges and cooperation. The good foundation also provides a good opportunity for tool companies like "Alite" and Manager Shi to showcase their corporate style during the exhibition.

　　Industrial cluster development

　　 Jinhua Rongsheng tools, celestial measuring tools, precision tools... the booths of these companies are densely distributed in the same exhibition area, and they are all from the same place-Jinhua City, Zhejiang. The reporter saw that the exhibits brought by these companies this year included power tools, measuring tools, garden tools, hand tools and other products.

　　 The reporter learned from the Jinhua Tool Industry Association that in 2016, there were about 160 tool companies in Jinhua City to participate in the exhibition, of which more than 80 companies are regular visitors to the China International Hardware Show and participate almost every year. "Jinhua Hardware Industry enjoys a very high brand awareness in the country, and many have even gone to the world. Through the China International Hardware Show, we can communicate with many companies. We are all optimistic about this market and hope to diversify through the exhibition platform. By myself, let more people know about us.” A head of a tool company from Jinhua told reporters that he has been exhibiting for four consecutive years, and he is full of confidence in the exhibition every year. He said that here he can not only negotiate orders with more businessmen, but also see the development trends of some leading companies in the industry to inspire his own inspiration.

　　 In 2016, China International Hardware Show is the second year after moving to Hongqiao. It echoes the Canton Fair, hoping to provide more companies with opportunities to showcase themselves. Manager Wu from Jinhua City took advantage of the timing of the China International Hardware Show and the Canton Fair to participate in two exhibitions at the same time. He told reporters that compared to professionalism and buyer maturity, China International Hardware Show is still the best exhibition in his mind. "The Canton Fair is very famous, but the participating companies involve more industries, and it is difficult to promote small and medium-sized enterprises. As a weather vane of the industry, the China International Hardware Show has a very high industry concentration, and the visiting businessmen are more professional, and It is purposeful, so I may not participate in the Canton Fair next year, but I will still come to the China International Hardware Show."

　　 In addition, Manager Wu told reporters that Jinhua Tools has a high reputation throughout the country, and he also hopes to unite with more colleagues and develop together. "For SMEs like us, the development of Baotuan has more influence and brand appeal." He said.

　　 The reporter learned that the "China Tool Hardware Industry Base" in Jinhua City was previously awarded the tool category industry cluster by the China Hardware Products Association. From the perspective of the participation of the entire exhibition, tool hardware industry clusters such as Jinhua, Lin'an, Yongkang are all joined by small and medium-sized enterprises, forming a massive regional effect, which is a solid foundation for the healthy operation of the cluster and the steady development of the industry basis.

　　 China's hardware tool market is accumulating

　　 Shi Senglan, chairman of the China Hardware Products Association, said in an interview with reporters during the exhibition that with the increase in corporate intellectual property awareness, the number of knockoff products on the exhibition has now decreased significantly. She believes that companies should increase investment in new technologies and new products and focus on cultivating hardware tool talents. At the same time, she also hopes that companies can learn about some new technologies and new development trends through the exhibition, and stimulate their own inspiration by looking at other people's products. "It's not the manufacturing industry to get rich overnight." Shi Senglan believes that although the current hardware tool market is very competitive, the quality of my country's products is not too far behind that of foreign countries. She encourages companies to go abroad, and this year the first China-Europe Tool Hardware Development Summit was held for this purpose. "Our Chinese companies have taken a fancy to this market and are actively exploring, hoping to launch our national brand through this platform. At the same time, companies must withstand the temptation and stand loneliness. We have to do it steadily day by day to overcome Impetuous mood. Do our most basic thing-quality, do it well. Use the best materials to be refined, detailed, and optimized. Our independent innovation will definitely be able to find a place where we can use our own brand. Win the big domestic market."
