The Power of Presence: Haizol’s 9th Annual Procurement & Supply Chain Conference

On December 14, 2024, Haizol will host its 9th Annual Procurement & Supply Chain Conference at the Shanghai Galaxy Bay Hotel, bringing together over 2,000 procurement professionals, more than 1,000 component manufacturers, and hundreds of industry experts, media, and investors. This year's theme, "Being," captures the essence of our collective journey and the resilience of China's manufacturing sector.

Celebrating China’s Manufacturing Legacy

China’s industrial landscape has evolved rapidly, achieving in decades what took developed nations centuries. As a platform committed to supporting small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), Haizol has played a vital role in this transformation. By connecting SMBs with reliable suppliers for OEM parts—such as CNC machining, injection molding, and precision components—we have witnessed the incredible potential of China’s manufacturing ecosystem.

The Theme of "Being"

The word "Being" signifies "presence" and "existence." It reflects the spirit of China's manufacturing legacy, deeply rooted in craftsmanship and innovation. China's journey—from the Bronze Age to becoming a global manufacturing powerhouse—highlights the resilience and adaptability of its industries. Despite missing the Industrial Revolution, China rapidly caught up, leveraging policy support and a strong industrial foundation to close the gap with developed nations.

Shining a Light on SMBs

Since our founding in 2015, Haizol has been committed to empowering small and medium-sized manufacturers across China. We have seen countless examples of ingenuity, from factories delivering custom parts for high-tech enterprises in Beijing to SMBs in Zhejiang reducing costs and speeding up production for listed companies.

Haizol’s digital platform has become a vital resource, showcasing the capabilities of these small manufacturers and connecting them with global buyers. Our “capacity map” highlights the strength of China’s diverse industrial network, providing a transparent and efficient way for businesses to find the right suppliers.

Stories of Transformation

Behind every success story on Haizol’s platform is a dedicated individual striving for excellence. From factory owners embracing digital tools to young entrepreneurs investing in AI and digital management systems, we see a strong drive for innovation. These efforts are matched by procurement teams who value responsive, reliable suppliers and are eager to work with SMBs that demonstrate a commitment to quality and growth.

We also celebrate the Haizol support teams who guide factories in obtaining necessary certifications and optimizing their digital profiles. It’s this collective effort—from suppliers, buyers, and Haizol staff—that has enabled us to build a vibrant, resilient supply chain network.

Overcoming Challenges in Global Markets

The global landscape has been unpredictable in recent years, with rising concerns about supply chain shifts towards Southeast Asia, India, and Mexico. Despite these challenges, there are still tremendous opportunities for Chinese suppliers to expand internationally. At Haizol, we see strong demand for Chinese manufacturing from buyers across diverse sectors, from aerospace components to everyday consumer goods.

Our “Buyer Showcase” series, launched in December 2023, highlights overseas buyers from over 200 industries, providing insights into their needs and expectations. This initiative, combined with Haizol’s efforts to increase international partnerships and participate in key trade shows, has strengthened our position in the global market.

Looking Ahead: The Future of China’s Manufacturing

The 9th Annual Haizol Conference will feature in-depth discussions on the latest industry trends, international trade strategies, and the future of the supply chain. We will present key insights from conversations with multinational companies, exploring how Chinese suppliers can meet the evolving demands of global buyers.

As we move forward, Haizol remains committed to empowering small and medium-sized businesses to succeed in the global market. Through continuous service improvements and digital innovation, we have helped thousands of factories, many without prior export capabilities, successfully enter international trade.

Together, let’s embrace the power of "Being"—a celebration of existence, resilience, and the unwavering spirit of innovation.
