China News Service, Yangjiang, October 20 (Sun Qiuxia, Xu Liujin) The 25th China (Yangjiang) International Hardware Knife and Scissors Expo kicked off on the 20th at the Yangjiang International Convention and Exhibition Center. This year's Knife Expo has 602 booths and brings together 266 domestic and foreign hardware knife and scissors companies to meet the needs of global buyers with a complete industrial chain for "direct access to the source factory and one-stop shopping for all categories."

This exhibition has four exhibition areas: finished products, accessories and parts, raw materials and auxiliary materials, and intelligent manufacturing machinery. In the finished product exhibition area, leading companies such as Shibazi and Wang Mazi all participated in the exhibition; in the intelligent manufacturing machinery exhibition area, 39 top equipment manufacturing companies in the industry competed on the same stage.

This exhibition features an international exhibition area and a public and trade service exhibition area for the first time. Germany's Sapp, Switzerland's Horimai and Dumasteel, France's Eramet, Japan's T-AREA and H&K are exhibiting with high-end steel products, special steel products and kitchen knives. The overseas exhibitor lineup has reached a record high.

In recent years, a large number of knife and scissor companies in Yangjiang have reshaped their workshops with "intelligent transformation and digital transformation" to promote digital and intelligent transformation.

The Intelligent Manufacturing Machinery Museum showcases the "hard-core" confidence of Yangjiang's hardware knife and scissors industry: Witte Power exhibits an embedded motion control intelligent system that equips traditional machine tools with an "AI brain"; Hanba industrial mother machine processing accuracy reaches 2 microns; Ketuo brings a six-axis robot automatic cutting workstation and a truss-type robotic arm loading and unloading system machine tool.

This exhibition creates a new scene of "exhibition + consumption" integration. Using the two provincial "Tesco Towns" in Yangjiang as a platform, the Tesco Town Production and Sales Matchmaking Conference and the first launch event of new knife and scissor products were held. Industry chain-related associations organized groups to attend the purchase.

Focusing on exploring emerging overseas markets, this exhibition has specially set up a "One Belt, One Road + RCEP + APEC" themed exhibition hall to focus on displaying Yangjiang's advantageous industrial products, cutting-edge technologies and innovative processes. The organizing committee signed an economic and trade cooperation framework agreement with the Russian Guangdong Chamber of Commerce and the Kyrgyzstan Guangdong Chamber of Commerce, and unveiled the establishment of the Yangjiang Hardware Knife and Scissors Enterprise Overseas Comprehensive Service Station to help enterprises upgrade from "participating in exhibitions to expand markets" to "permanent market presence".

In addition, the Russian and Central Asian Economic and Trade Matchmaking Conference will be held at the same time as the exhibition, helping Yangjiang's hardware knife and scissors industry to "accelerate" its expansion into overseas emerging markets.

In the 25 years since the Knife Expo was held, the export scale of Yangjiang's hardware knife and scissors industry has expanded from 1.7 billion yuan to over 8 billion yuan, accounting for 75% of the country's output and 85% of its exports. Its trading partners have increased from 27 countries and regions to more than 160 countries and regions.
