10.25.2005 The 2005 Chinese Export Commodities Fair, also know as the Canton Trade Fair, is truly a one of a kind trade show. The fair, which takes place in the spring and fall of each year in the city of Guangzhou, located in southern China, was inaugurated in 1957. It is China’s largest trade fair -- not only in size, but also in industry variety and, even more importantly, business turnover. With over 177,000 visitors and 12,655 exhibitors the fair is truly an international event that attracts business men and women from all over the globe.

Global Resourcing’s senior partners, Thomas Nihra, President, and Michael Dare, Vice-President, attended the most recent Canton Trade Fair October 15th - 18th. Traveling to go to such an event is something that the principles both agree is imperative for continued growth of our network of high quality, low cost overseas manufacturers. The fair is a unique opportunity to interview and procure manufacturers for our clients' needs in a myriad of industries who are focused on foreign trade.
