The atmosphere was quite pleasing at scene. A large number of international buyers came and discussed passionately with the suppliers.

As was told by a few buyers, journalists of www.chinafastener.com learnt that European buyers prefer fastener manufacturers in Taiwan than those in Mainland China in the consideration of product quality. Chinese fastener manufacturer really need to think about it and change their business strategies. While our interview with many CAS members, we found that many Chinese companies had been aware of that during the show and the consciousness of getting better. We should have more faith and patience in them.

This year’s Expo is the largest ever in the show’s 33-year history and will feature over 82,000 sq. ft. of exhibits of interest to fastener manufacturers, distributors, importers, sales reps and others, informs Susan A. Hurley, CEM, General Manager.
