Packit at the Canton Fair: Sourcing for Next Level Retailing

Retail is changing rapidly. Keeping up with trends, spotting innovations, and finding new trade partners is essential to remain relevant as a brand or retailer. That is why our colleague Marijn Paardekooper is attending the Canton Fair in Guangzhou, China, last week and this week – one of the largest trade fairs in the world. From Packit, we are there to seek out the latest developments in household categories, sustainable consumer products, and smart retail solutions.

Why Packit Visits the Canton Fair

The Canton Fair is the international platform for companies active in retail sourcing. With more than 32,000 exhibitors and visitors from over 200 countries, it’s a unique opportunity to:

  • Gather innovations in household products and consumer goods.
  • Seek new trading partners in Asia and beyond.
  • Maintain relationships with existing suppliers.
  • Follow trends and developments in sustainability, design, and technology.

Marijn is visiting sections focused on kitchen accessories, cleaning products, home decor, and smart household solutions – categories that directly align with the needs of our retail customers in Europe.
