The second phase of the 139th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) is currently underway. Despite severe convective weather on April 24th, global buyers remained undeterred, flocking to the bustling exhibition halls where the "Guangdong Manufacturing" brand shone brightly. A number of Guangdong enterprises rolled out new products that are smarter and greener, drawing overseas buyers to queue up for inquiries and hands-on experience, boosting both popularity and sales.

Marcin Muchinski, a seasoned buyer from Poland attending the fair for the fourth time, paid particular attention to outdoor furniture made from eco-friendly materials. He noted that this year he has seen many impressive innovations, with fresh designs and unique materials. For instance, some tables, chairs and flooring made from recycled materials look completely different. He added that more consumers today are willing to pay a premium for recyclable and eco-friendly products, and that society needs to take greater responsibility for the planet and the future.

Muchinski's observation is well reflected at the booth of Guangdong East Wing Brand Design Co., Ltd., a Foshan-based enterprise. After more than three years of research and development, the company has succeeded in transforming electronic waste into a new type of building material that is both durable and recyclable. It now holds more than ten patents, and its related products and technologies have obtained Australia's CodeMark certification and the European Union's CE marking.

At present, the company primarily targets markets including Australia, New Zealand, the United States, the Middle East and India, and plans to further expand its global presence through an approach that integrates design and product. Muchinski said he can always find reliable partners in Guangdong, noting that he has previously worked with companies in Foshan, Shantou and other cities, and that he has no concerns about Guangdong products.
排队体验向新向智向绿产品,海外采购商在广交会觅商机
第139届广交会第二期正在进行中。4月24日,强对流天气并未影响全球采购商的热情,展会现场持续火爆,“广东制造”这块金字招牌格外亮眼。一批广东企业推出的新产品向智向绿,引得海外采购商排起长队、询价体验,既涨人气又吸金。
来自波兰的资深采购商马尔钦·穆希斯基已经第四次参加广交会,对环保材质的户外家具格外留心。“今年我看到不少令人惊喜的创新产品,设计很新颖,材料也很特别,比如一些回收材料制成的桌椅和地板,看起来完全不同。”马尔钦·穆希斯基说,“现在很多人愿意为可回收的环保产品支付更高的价格,社会需要对地球和未来更加负责。”
马尔钦·穆希斯基的观点,在佛山企业东翼设计的展位得到很好的印证。东翼设计经过3年多的研发,将电子垃圾转化为兼具耐久性与可回收性的新型建筑材料,目前已拥有专利十余件,相关产品和技术还通过了澳大利亚CODEMARK认证和欧盟CE认证。
目前,该公司主要面向澳大利亚、新西兰、美国、中东、印度等市场,未来希望以“设计+产品”的方式持续拓展海外市场。“在广东,我总能找到值得信赖的合作伙伴。”马尔钦·穆希斯基表示,此前他已与佛山、汕头等地的企业进行合作,“对广东产品不会有什么疑虑”。
