Haining's first overseas self-organized exhibition, the Haining-Kazakhstan Economic and Trade Exchange and Cooperation Promotion Conference, concluded in Almaty, Kazakhstan on Aug 16.

Nearly 60 professional buyers from Kazakhstan attended the half-day event, reaping significant fruits.

The next morning, Xu Siying, assistant general manager of Zhejiang Huaqing Packaging Materials Co Ltd, engaged in discussions with two Kazakhstani clients in a hotel lobby. This meeting followed an agreement made during the exhibition.

At the event, Huaqing Packaging showcased various packaging samples, attracting significant interest.

Huaqing Packaging specializes in high-end decorative films and soft packaging bags used in construction, daily chemicals, food, and pharmaceuticals. Although primarily focused on domestic sales, the company has recently started exploring overseas markets.

The two-hour promotional event proved fruitful for Xu Siying, as a local client showed great interest in the company's customizable food packaging products. Xu Siying invited the client to visit Haining for a firsthand look, hoping to secure a deal.

For seasoned foreign trade professional Song Jianrong, general manager of Haining Lida Warp Knitting Co Ltd, the event was smooth sailing. "On-site visits help us understand market trends and explore new opportunities," he said.

Xu Shenhao, general manager of Zhejiang Kesun New Energy Co Ltd, aimed to explore potential clients and growth opportunities. After two days, Xu Shenhao found potential in the Central Asian market, noting buyers appreciated the company's technical advantages. "Chinese products have certain advantages that Southeast Asian factories can’t match," Xu Shenhao concluded.
