China International Show 2009The China International Hardware Show Powered by PRACTICAL WORLD in Shanghai took place this year from 16th to 19th September.    ODM staff in Shanghai visited the fair along with 2 of our clients from Australia.    We helped them out with translation, arranging samples, price negotiation.   At the same time we learned more about market trends in Australia and Eurpoe and are able to offer this expertise to other hardware clients.

The hardware show is one of Asia’s top trade fairs for hardware and DIY.  Main sectors of Tools, DIY and Building Hardware, Security, Locks and Fittings with a comprehensive category of products and services.

A diverse range of tools were up on display and this blade with print caught our attention instantly, with its bright colours and intriguing design – an excellent example of how personalisation can be done even on such a common tool.
