    The 135th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair), held from October 15 to November 4, 2024, in Guangzhou, China, was a tremendous success for DepotFit. This prestigious trade event, which attracted over 250,000 buyers from more than 200 countries and regions, marked another milestone in our commitment to bringing world-class warehouse automation solutions to global markets.
    Our booth in the Industrial Automation Machinery section became a focal point for visitors seeking advanced warehousing solutions. Throughout the three phases of the exhibition, our team welcomed over 5,000 visitors, including procurement managers, logistics directors, and business owners from Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas.

    The Canton Fair provided an excellent platform for announcing strategic partnerships that will expand our presence in the Asia-Pacific region:

    Taiwan Distribution Partnership

    We announced a comprehensive distribution and service partnership with a leading Taiwan industrial equipment provider. This partnership includes:
  24. Exclusive distribution rights for our complete product line in Taiwan

    Industry Insights from the Fair

    Our conversations with visitors from around the world revealed several key trends shaping the warehouse automation industry:

    Accelerating Automation Adoption

    Post-pandemic supply chain disruptions have accelerated automation investment timelines. Many businesses that were planning 5-year automation roadmaps are now executing in 2-3 years.

    Focus on Flexibility

    Buyers are increasingly interested in flexible automation solutions that can adapt to changing business needs rather than fixed, purpose-built systems.

    Sustainability Requirements

    Energy efficiency and sustainability have become key selection criteria, with many buyers requiring detailed environmental impact assessments.

    Integration Expectations

    Customers expect seamless integration with existing systems and are looking for vendors who can provide complete solutions rather than standalone products.
