On July 24th and 25th, the "Hardware Capital of China," Yongkang, was bustling with activity. A trade procurement matching event (special sessions for cup and vehicle industries), jointly organized by the Yongkang Commerce Bureau and the China Technology Hardware City Group, was held in Yongkang. Over 30 foreign buyers from more than a dozen countries and regions, including Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Morocco, and Bangladesh, engaged in zero-distance, precise matchmaking with Yongkang's top cup and vehicle manufacturers. This event established an efficient and targeted "new channel for global expansion," helping more "Yongkang Hardware" products reach international markets.

Dozens of Yongkang's leading cup and vehicle companies showcased their flagship products: innovatively designed smart thermoses, technologically advanced electric scooters, and stylish yet practical electric drift cars. With advantages such as high cost-performance, a wide variety, and durability, these products quickly captured the strong interest of foreign buyers. The buyers had clear objectives, heading straight for their preferred categories, while companies were able to demonstrate their strengths to the right clients. Both sides held in-depth discussions on product specifications, quality standards, pricing details, and cooperation models, with many companies and buyers reaching preliminary agreements on the spot.

"This matching event is fantastic! It has helped us filter out many high-quality factories, saving us a lot of time and effort in finding the right products and manufacturers," said Fraterin Kessy, a buyer from Tanzania, in fluent Chinese. After test-driving an electric drift car, he immediately exchanged business cards with the manufacturer, expressing strong interest in cooperation.

The core advantage displayed by the Yongkang industrial cluster during this event was the collective momentum brought by the "cluster" itself: tens of thousands of companies are densely concentrated, forming a complete industrial chain from raw materials and components to finished products. Any demand can be met with rapid response within an extremely short radius. This natural industrial ecosystem allowed foreign buyers to complete the entire process of product selection, factory visits, and price negotiations within a single day. It also gave them a firsthand understanding that "Yongkang Quality Manufacturing" is not just the competitiveness of individual enterprises but an efficient closed-loop system enabling "product selection, factory visits, and price negotiations in one day."

The event achieved fruitful results, with intended orders exceeding 81 million yuan. With the support of all parties, it not only efficiently connected Yongkang hardware companies with international buyers but also significantly expanded the influence of the "Yongkang Hardware" regional brand in global markets.

A representative from the Yongkang Commerce Bureau stated that this matching event was of great significance to the Yongkang industrial cluster. Through a government-enterprise collaborative model and leveraging the international capabilities of the China Technology Hardware City Group and its subsidiaries like the Yongkang Foreign Trade Company, the event helped the "Yongkang Hardware" brand go global while bringing international demand to Yongkang. This initiative supports local companies in achieving new breakthroughs in technological innovation, brand building, and international market competitiveness, driving the upgrade of Yongkang's hardware industrial cluster and empowering high-quality development.
