In the twinkling of an eye, the 88th China Labor Protection Products Fair will be held in Shanghai New International Expo Center from April 8-10, 2014. Looking back on the history of the China Labor Protection Fair, there have been hardships and glories in the past 48 years. In any case, we always adhere to the purpose of "attaching importance to safety in production and strengthening individual protection" to promote the development of China's labor protection industry.
The carrier of spreading the concept of labor protection
In 1966, the first China Labor Protection Products Fair was successfully held in Shanghai. Since then, the venue of the labor insurance fair has expanded to all parts of the country, covering the southeast, northwest and middle of the country. Especially after 2000, the location selection of labor protection trade fair is based on the urban layout of "one south, one north, one east and one west" to drive the balanced development of the national labor protection industry.
The person in charge of the labor insurance fair explained that if the fair was only held in developed cities along the east coast, some exhibitors or visitors in the central and western regions might give up because of the long distance. This reduces the opportunity to fully understand various labor protection products, and also lacks the channel to understand the development level of the national labor protection products industry. After all, the national labor protection trade fair is held twice a year.
The person in charge said that as an exhibition with high prestige in the industry, it was not only limited to trade transactions, but also hoped to use this form to promote the improvement of national labor protection concepts and behaviors. Therefore, during the exhibition, a national labor protection industry brand recommendation activity will be held at the same time, a survey report on the development trend of the labor protection industry will be released, and a labor protection industry entrepreneur salon will be held to brainstorm ideas for promoting the development of the labor protection industry.
Provide a stage for free competition
After nearly 50 years of development, the Labor Insurance Fair has expanded from one or two hundred exhibitors in the early days to more than 800 exhibitors now. With the increase of exhibitors, more and more high-quality labor protection appliances are emerging, and the technology and practicality of exhibition products are constantly improving, which also makes the number of professional visitors to the exhibition record high, forming a virtuous circle between each other.
The person in charge of the labor protection fair believes that on the one hand, the fair should provide enterprises with supply and demand information to help them cultivate the market, on the other hand, it should help enterprises to carry out technological innovation, research and develop new products, and promote the upgrading of China's labor protection products.
As the "first exhibition" in the industry, the Labor Protection Fair has attracted the competition of major labor protection enterprises at home and abroad, gathered the top products of all kinds of labor protection products, and is known as the "wind vane" and "barometer". At the exhibition, various enterprises showed their latest and best products one after another to gain the attention of visitors, improve the popularity of enterprises and brands, and expand market share.
At the same time, manufacturers of similar labor protection appliances such as respiratory protection, hand and foot protection can also take the opportunity of the exhibition to discuss and exchange, visit and learn, learn from each other, and promote the technical improvement of their products. Or according to the feedback from the audience, the research and development of labor protection appliances should be carried out from the perspective of user needs to improve the practicality and applicability of the products.
The participation of international labor protection articles manufacturers also greatly promoted the improvement of domestic labor protection enterprises. Through the exhibition platform, we can find the gap between domestic and foreign labor protection products, promote domestic labor protection product manufacturers to strengthen scientific and technological investment, focus on research and innovation, improve the scientific and technological content of labor protection products, give full play to the role of market competition, and achieve the survival of the fittest.
Motivation to promote industrial development
A typical example of development with the help of the exhibition is Gaomi City, Shandong Province, the "hometown of gloves". In the past, Gaomi City was mostly small workshops that produced simple protective gloves. Through the exchange and competition platform of the exhibition, these small workshops continued to grow into leading enterprises in the industry with standardized management, diversified products, comprehensive functions and leading technology, and developed upstream, midstream and downstream industries of glove production in Gaomi City.
The person in charge of the Labor Insurance Fair said that at first, the glove production workshops in Gaomi City were small and could not even afford to participate, so they had to set up stalls around the exhibition hall. However, through the collection of information on participating in the exhibition over the past few years, and after joining the member units of the exhibition organizer association (China Textile Commerce Association Safety and Health Protection Products Committee), it has gradually developed to be able to have its own small booth in the exhibition hall, and now the eye-catching special booth, with rich and diverse product types, safe and reliable functional quality, and increasing scientific and technological content, Undoubtedly, it is a typical case of development and growth with the help of exhibition power.
The person in charge said that he hoped that other types of labor protection articles manufacturers could also use the strength of the exhibition to develop such industries on a large scale locally and promote the upgrading, transformation and technological innovation of China's labor protection articles manufacturers.
