The China Anping International Wire Mesh Fair opens at the Anping International Exhibition Center in Hengshui, Hebei province on Sunday.

The three-day event features 600 exhibitors showcasing 6 categories of wire mesh products and machinery. Over 138 international guests from Russia, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, and more than 50,000 domestic guests are attending the fair to discuss cooperation and place orders.

On the first day of the fair, 12 domestic and international cooperation projects worth more than 7 billion yuan ($960 million) were signed, including emergency equipment and high-end intelligent fencing from Australian Aishimi Company, new materials industrial park from Antai Environmental Engineering Technology Company, and science and technology enterprise incubation park from Guanghua Science and Technology Innovation Company.

This year's fair further expanded international cooperation and exchange through events such as the "Belt and Road" International Direct Procurement Conference, the unveiling ceremony of the Anping Wire Mesh Global Procurement Base and the launch of the Cross-Border E-commerce Industrial Park.

The rich range of exhibits and formats were well received by businessmen from various countries.

Dine, a businessman from Niger, and his partners from Burkina Faso and other West African countries participated in the fair for the first time. He said that they have been trading in wire mesh products with China, and these products have been widely used in various fields in their countries. This time, they are preparing to purchase comprehensively, and will build long-term cooperation with Anping wire mesh enterprises to continuously supply the West African market.

Foreign customers not only came to purchase and order, but even companies like Japan's NS Mesh Co Ltd applied for exhibition space in advance to sell their products.

Among the domestic product exhibitors, over 56 percent are wire mesh enterprises from outside Hengshui city, and over 80 percent are wire mesh machinery enterprises.

This time, the wire mesh products are full of technology advancements, representing the development trend of the digitalization of the wire mesh industry.
