Jiaxing shone bright at the the 136th Canton Fair, held from Oct 15 to Nov 4 in Guangzhou, and set new records with 535 companies and 970 booths. The city's delegation welcomed nearly 41,000 visitors, securing over $330 million in intended transactions, a 7.3-percent increase from last year.

This year's fair featured over 40,000 exhibits from Jiaxing and over 30 percent had never been seen before. Companies like Zhejiang Token Technology and Newcomer Group highlighted their innovations, with Newcomer Group's antibacterial cloud box attracting significant interest and securing over $2 million in orders. Both Winsun Import & Export and President Luggage won bronze CF Awards for their innovative products.

Jiaxing companies regarded Canton Fair as a top platform to meet market demands and expand internationally. Zhejiang Haipai New Materials developed a gold-plated PTG decorative material for the Middle East and India, securing orders from new Indian customers. Turtech's breakthroughs in light curtain products for industrial doors garnered over 400 orders from UAE, Dubai, and Qatar.

Jiaxing companies also focused on service excellence. Zhejiang Yili Machinery & Electric set up four product experience zones with hourly demonstrations, attracting over $3 million in orders.

Jiaxing also further business opportunities as the host of the second Jiaxing Import and Export Commodity Fair near the Canton Fair Pazhou Complex.
