At the end of 2020, The last online exhibition of the Year of the Rat, NonwovenTech, closed perfectly on January 31, bringing a wonderful end to the 2020.
In this year, although the COVID-19 prevented us from going abroad, it also gave birth to online exhibitions as well. Looking back on the last year, Melink International Exhibition cooperated hard with overseas partners and held a total of seven online exhibitions. From the first one as a tentative fumble to the seventh one as a breeze. Each time we are learning from our experience, and each time we are making more progress, let's take a look at the data of our achievements.
Due to the promotion of the organizers and industry associations, buyers actively participated and generated real and effective purchasing demand, we also successfully opened a number of professional B2B matching sessions during this exhibition. To foreign trade enterprises and international buyers to build a direct bridge of communication. Buyers and suppliers communicate deeply on the online platform, and the procurement side during the epidemic is also making production line adjustment layout according to the changes in the market. For example, in response to the supply shortage of non-woven materials exposed during the covid-19, manufacturers plan to increase the procurement of equipment in their home countries to better meet the local production supply.
At the same time, the buyers also mentioned many times during the communication about the practical difficulties of equipment assembly, testing and maintenance personnel training during the epidemic and discussed them, and the suppliers also actively responded with solutions. The buyers said that if the epidemic subsides and they can travel internationally, they will come to China to visit the factories and discuss cooperation. Some buyers also arranged for more efficient procurement and delivery solutions through online negotiations, such as having samples from raw material suppliers sent to equipment suppliers to be shipped along with the equipment.
The season between sowing and harvesting is one of patient waiting and vigilance. During the covid-19, companies that exhibited through the online platform were also well on their way to accumulating intended customers for the future, and I believe these companies will be better able to resume their international trade supply chain after the covid-19 is over.
2020 is indeed difficult for us, but 2021 is still full of hope!
