TEHRAN, Iran, Sept. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- China's top cross-border e-commerce company
Global OConnect will bring its new Foshan
City home furnishing concept to the
Iranian capital Tehran on
September 25, expanding its overseas
trade exhibitions.
The experience center is located at Behnoush Building, 9KM Jade
Makhsos Karaj, Kheyabane Shahid Mohammad Pur, and is divided into
two parts. The first contains household electrical appliances,
building and sanitary materials and home furniture products, and will be showcased until
December 25, 2016. The second aims to
introduce the theme of Foshan Household Essentials (FHE) into
the Iranian market during the next 12 months.
Participating Chinese companies
will also conduct field research
and visits to decide if and when to
build local factories, investing in Iran's potential markets directly.
Foshan municipal government has
shown great support for the
showroom and related investing opportunities, based on new economic
relationships between two countries. As a
result of the lifting of
western sanctions, China promised to increase bilateral
trade volume to USD600 billion over
the next ten years.
Governor of Guangdong Province Zhu Xiaodan later signed
a memorandum of understanding to
promote partnerships between free trade zones of Guangdong
and Qeshm, an important Persian Gulf coastal city. The provincial
government also sponsored the
setting up of experience halls in Iran, in order to further market the competitive advantage of
the home furnishing industry in
Foshan City.
Foshan neighbors two Chinese strategic ports, Guangdong City and Hong Kong, and is historically famous for
high-quality yarn and pottery. Its Longjiang Town is best known as the most
trustworthy producer of Oriental-styled furniture in China. Taking advantage of such popularity,
Foshan has managed to increase export volume and is also committed to encouraging Chinese companies to invest overseas.
Established in 2015, OConnect has successfully established experience halls in
Russia, UAE, Poland, Vietnam and Canada. Besides being
able to see and examine products they may want, local
retailers can also take full
advantage of real-time communication before signing contracts,
which clears the way for improved
cooperation in future.
With Chinese companies setting up factories in Iran after the exhibition, the company is
committed to bring in the brand new
concept of "21st Century Made-in-China", showcasing the integration of
technology, design and quality of modern Chinese manufacturing.
