On the morning of October 19, the 2025 Zhuzhou International Advanced Hard Materials Industry Expo officially opened at the Zhuzhou Guanshen Intelligent Manufacturing Technology and Equipment Trade Center.
With the theme “Global Trade with Zhuzhou’s Core Strength,” the expo attracted over 300 quality buyers and partners from Belt and Road countries, serving as a vital bridge connecting Zhuzhou’s manufacturing industry with the global market.
The exhibition covered more than 40,000 square meters, featuring over 600 standard and special booths. More than 300 enterprises showcased cutting-edge products and technologies. To meet the specific needs of international buyers, organizers set up a special negotiation zone for foreign procurement, focusing on the 12 major advanced manufacturing clusters in Hunan Province and across China. The showcased fields included cemented carbide, CNC cutting tools, and high-end equipment, enabling overseas buyers to gain a one-stop understanding of the latest industry trends and the strength of “Zhuzhou Intelligent Manufacturing.”
That afternoon, an international business matchmaking conference was held under the theme “Connecting Globally, Creating the Future Together.” The event provided a platform for deep exchanges and cooperation between domestic and foreign manufacturers. Representatives from Zhuzhou enterprises such as Ouke, Frandi, Beite, and Zhuzhou Huaxin presented their core products and technologies through PPTs and videos, while Belt and Road buyers introduced their procurement requirements, standards, and cooperation intentions. Both sides held discussions and signed cooperation agreements on-site.
Le Qi Nan, Vice President of the Vietnam Association of Mechanical Industry (VAMI), attended the meeting and remarked:
“This event provides an important opportunity for enterprises from Vietnam and China to share information, expand cooperation, and promote joint development in the fields of production, manufacturing, and industrial equipment supply. We have organized a Vietnamese delegation of 30 entrepreneurs, hoping that through this event, our two sides can find more practical directions for cooperation.”
By enabling direct interaction between local enterprises and foreign buyers, the expo and matchmaking session broke down information barriers and fostered efficient collaboration. The event not only helped Chinese manufacturing firms accurately connect with international market demand and expand global cooperation channels, but also offered overseas buyers a window into Zhuzhou’s advanced manufacturing capabilities.
As a vivid example of Zhuzhou’s “Year of Enhanced Opening-Up” initiative, the event used industry as a medium and exhibitions as a bridge, strengthening international cooperation and demonstrating Zhuzhou’s determination and action to accelerate integration into global industrial chains and elevate its open economy to a new level.
