Services
See where your furniture is made. Visit vetted factories in Foshan, attend CIFF and Canton Fair with a local expert, and verify quality firsthand. We organize everything — transportation, translation, negotiations, and logistics.
Visit one of the world's largest furniture manufacturing clusters. Foshan's Longjiang and Shunde districts house thousands of factories covering every category — from solid wood casegoods to upholstered seating to stone fabrication.
We select relevant factories based on your project needs — no wasted time on trading company showrooms. A typical tour includes several factories, the Lecong Furniture Market for materials, and time to review findings. You visit real production floors, not showrooms.
Speak directly with factory owners and production managers. Build relationships that last beyond a single order. Our bilingual team translates technical specifications, negotiates terms, and ensures your requirements are understood.
See and touch samples in production. Approve finishes on the spot, confirm capabilities in person. Compare wood finishes, upholstery fabrics, and metal hardware side-by-side across multiple factories in a single day.
CIFF and Canton Fair are overwhelming — thousands of exhibitors across huge exhibition areas. Most first-time buyers wander for days, collect business cards from trading companies, and leave with quotes well above factory-direct. We fix that.
CIFF
Guangzhou, March & September
One of the world's largest furniture fairs. Phase 1: home furniture, textiles. Phase 2: office, hotel, contract furniture.
Canton Fair
Guangzhou, April & October
Phase 2 covers furniture, ceramics, lighting, and home décor. Essential for OS&E and building materials.
Furniture China
Shanghai, September
Design-forward fair. Higher-end manufacturers, European design studios, custom boutique FF&E. Best for luxury hotel projects.
What we do at the fair
Pre-qualified factory shortlist — verified manufacturers matching your project specs, not thousands of random booths
Factory vs. trading company identification — we know which exhibitors are real manufacturers and which are middlemen with markups
On-site negotiation in Mandarin — we negotiate factory-direct pricing on your behalf, below walk-in quotes
Factory visits after the fair — the real value. After CIFF, we take you to production lines in Foshan, Dongguan, and Shunde
