In line with current industry trends and technological developments, the event invited domestic hardware experts, representatives of leading companies, shopping mall executives, and government officials to participate in specialized seminars aimed at shaping the future direction of the hardware sector. Leveraging its years‑long database of professional visitors, the organizing committee not only reinvited long‑standing clients but also actively sought out new prospects, focusing on emerging industries and enterprises, while prioritizing on‑site procurement by channel partners and end users to ensure a steady influx of fresh buyers each year.

International Strategy Yields Remarkable Results. By forging partnerships with international hardware exhibitions and coordinating closely with foreign consulates in China, the event successfully attracted overseas visitors and buyers. Prior to this edition, more than 16,000 foreign visitors had already attended, with additional specialized buyer delegations arriving from South Korea, North Korea, Russia, Japan, and other neighboring countries. The revitalization of the Northeast’s traditional industrial base has created substantial business opportunities for the hardware sector; ongoing upgrades to aging industrial facilities and the launch of numerous new projects—particularly in equipment manufacturing and the booming construction and decoration industries—have further boosted demand for hardware products.
