Sun Fengxian, General Sales Manager of Qingdao Meiguang Machinery, said, “SinoFoldingCarton is a very good platform for suppliers like us to promote our products. We’ve taken part in the show many times because the organizers, Reed Exhibitions, and the calibre of trade professionals they attract to shows, are consistently excellent. That’s also the main reason we choose this event to launch our latest products”.
Manfred Wilke, from German company Kartonagen Radowitz, said, “I’ve been to SinoFoldingCarton several times and am impressed by how the scale of the exhibition continues to grow. Several years ago, Kartonagen Radowitz bought equipment at a SinoFoldingCarton event. That machinery is still in use at our factory today. This is a testament to the quality of the equipment and the cost-effectiveness of this event. It’s why I believe that SinoFoldingCarton is an excellent platform on which I can procure and evaluate high quality manufacturing solutions.”
