2018 Fall Canton Fair Begins: A Must-Not-Miss Opportunity for Export-Oriented Companies

For export-oriented enterprises, the 2018 fall Canton Fair was an indispensable opportunity. Typically, companies would showcase their latest products in the most prominent positions at their booths. Among them, there were some interesting applications to be found.

Kingclean Electrical Appliances

Kingclean Electrical Appliances usually gives off a sense of being somewhat perfunctory when it comes to exhibitions. At this fair, they displayed some machines rather casually. The main machine showcased at the exhibition was a coffee maker!!!

Denny's Industry Commentary:

Segzoo, a company invested in by Kingclean’s founder, is now focusing on coffee machine operations. This move indicates that Kingclean has begun channeling resources into the coffee appliance sector.

Robotic Vacuums from Ecovacs

From Ecovacs' booth, there wasn't much that stood out compared to previous years; no particularly new products were on display.

Midea Group

Midea Group concentrated most of its business exhibits in one area, resulting in a particularly crowded booth. There were no special new product displays for the vacuum cleaner business this time.

  1. Fojia Appliances

Fojia Appliances has emerged as the biggest beneficiary of Shark's outsourcing business transfer, with its main factory bustling non-stop due to the influx of outsourced orders. The company’s newly developed products on display appear to be fairly standard.

Other mid-to-low-end vacuum cleaner manufacturers have predominantly shifted their focus to cordless vacuums with their recent product launches.

Time constraints prevented a thorough examination of each company's offerings.
