At the beginning of September, the 20th IG CHINA Fair was held. It is interesting that every year it is held in a different Chinese city. Last year’s fair took place in Shanghai, one of the most populated cities in China. This year, the city of Hangzhou, which is about 200 km southwest of Shanghai, was selected.
IG CHINA is the largest fair focused on the treatment of gases and petroleum products. Its visitors are primarily owners of companies from various industrial fields.
Our company participated in the fair for the first time ever and mainly took advantage of the opportunity to present our products from the field of cryogenic technology to the Chinese market.
During the fair, our traders established contacts with multiple new companies, which looks promising for future cooperations. Additionally, there were discussions with current customers concerning existing enquiries and orders.
“
Doing business in this part of the world is an adventure in its own right because it is a completely different culture with totally different traditions than those in Europe. As an example, we can mention the necessity to communicate in Chinese, which not many of us are able to do. Also of note is the fact that a European in China sparks a lot of interest" Ing.
