ATICO-Purchasing Salon is held on Dec.14 in GlobalMarket Center. Atical International is one of the largest trade companies in USA, mainly pursuing import and export in electronics and light-industrial products, and it has branches over China, Thailand, Malaysia, Japan, Korea, Italy, UK, Australia, Brazil. It purchases annual amount of over 100 million USD. With the collaboration between consultants and our customer development associates, four manufacturers came to this sourcing salon.
Representatives from different factories talked to Miss.Xu, the Purchasing Manager of home appliances and electronics one by one, introducing their products.Since the buyer's target was America, Miss Xu put great weight into UL certificate. She asked for details of several products, which had the UL certificates, including the size, price, terms of paying, ports of FOB, and capability. She also asked the main products of those factories which were applying for UL or which was able to get the certificate in a short term, and she asked specific products with interest according to catalogs.
Some of the manufacturers had a low percentage for American market in their export, and they were eager to get in touch with high quality buyers. So the buyer analyzed the products in color, pattern, capability and material, also introduced the buying behavior of American, providing suggestions for suppliers on the spot.
After the sourcing salon, both the buyer and the suppliers gained largely, not only set up a base for later collaborations, but also got information of American market. The all valued this chance of face-to-face communication, provided by GlobalMarket. |
