On Nov.11,2011,All the employees of Changzhou Giant Bearing Co.,Ltd participate in Alibaba Changzhou Sourcing Fair.
Buyers and suppliers exchange experiences in the meeting.
How to be success in international trading? How to resolve the cost soaring issues faced by the supplier? What to do with man power shortage? What opportunity and challenge do Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas have? To relieve the local enterprises of these difficulties, Alibaba hosting the Sourcing meeting, invited Halfords, Tools World Co. Ltd. and IKEA, the three large international sourcing companies, as well as almost 600 Changzhou local enterprises to discuss the issue.
The three international sourcing companies hope to procure the automotive, outdoors, office furniture and tools needed. “There are bigger choices of product range in Changzhou”, the big buyers said.
Alibaba chooses Changzhou as the venue for the sourcing fair is because Changzhou1has its unique advantage in the whole chain of international procurement. At the fair, the big buyers discuss face to face with the filtered enterprises on business details.
Alibaba said, under the influence of global economy crisis, the buying wills of both local and international enterprises are demising, and Alibab to fully utilize its advantages in the platform and resources is organizing the procurement activities with the big buyers, realizing offline procurement for the big buyers as well as the complimentary B2B platform. This also provides better opportunity for the local enterprises.
“Alibaba is very willing to become the communication bridges, to bring more global business opportunity including the sourcing company and projects”, as claimed by the Senior director of Alibaba Service Department, Huang Kailin.
