AFTER CANTON FAIR · BUILDING MATERIAL SOURCING
Finding suppliers at Canton Fair is only the beginning. The next step is to shortlist, verify and compare before making your sourcing decision.
| QUICK ANSWER | After Canton Fair, shortlist the suppliers that match your project, verify their product specifications, inspect actual products where possible, discuss your project requirements and compare complete solutions rather than price alone. |
FROM DISCOVERY TO DECISION
Canton Fair provides an efficient way to discover products and meet potential suppliers within a short period of time. But for professional building material buyers, collecting catalogues, business cards and quotations is not the final goal.
Customized products such as aluminum windows and doors, entrance doors, interior doors and cabinets often require further verification before a purchasing decision can be made.
YOUR NEXT STEPS
| 01 DISCOVER | → | 02 SHORTLIST | → | 03 VERIFY | → | 04 COMPARE | → | 05 DECIDE |
| 01 | AFTER THE EXHIBITION Shortlist the Right SuppliersAfter meeting multiple suppliers, identify which companies are worth continuing discussions with. A useful shortlist should consider more than whether you liked the product at first sight.
|
| 02 | PRODUCT VERIFICATION Verify What Is Behind the QuotationA quotation becomes more useful when you understand exactly what product configuration it represents. This is particularly important for customized doors and windows, where different components can affect the final specification.
|
SEE BEFORE YOU DECIDE
For customized building products, seeing the actual system can help buyers understand operation, materials, hardware, finishes and construction details that may not be obvious from a catalogue.

| 03 | SUPPLIER COMPARISON Compare Specifications, Not Only PricesTwo quotations can appear to describe the same product while using different materials or configurations. Before comparing prices, make sure the specifications being compared are clear.
Buyer Tip: A meaningful price comparison starts with a meaningful specification comparison. |
HAVE AN ACTIVE PROJECT?
If you already have a residential, commercial or development project, bring the actual project requirements. This allows the supplier to discuss suitable configurations rather than giving only general product information.

THE GOAL IS NOT MORE CONTACTS
A successful sourcing trip is not measured by how many catalogues you collect. The real value comes from identifying suppliers that understand your project, provide clear specifications and can support the next stage of procurement.
