Trade fair missions
We bring Brazilian buyers to China every year.
Guelcos is an accredited Canton Fair agency and has taken more than 1,000 Brazilian buyers to trade fairs in China across 35+ editions. We handle the agenda, the interpretation and the supplier verification, so a week at a fair produces suppliers instead of business cards.
No cost, no commitment. A 20-minute call about dates and objectives.
Which fairs
Where we go.
Canton Fair
Guangzhou, twice a year
The largest trade fair in China, run in three phases by product category. We are an accredited agency, which changes what access looks like on the ground. More than 1,000 Brazilian buyers taken.
Yiwu
Zhejiang, year-round
The world's largest small-commodity market. Our own office is in Yiwu, which means the mission continues after the fair closes.
Hong Kong
Electronics, Gifts & Premium
Two of the most useful fairs in Asia for consumer categories, and easier logistically than mainland fairs for a first trip.
Shenzhen and Guangzhou
Electronics and furniture
Category-specific fairs, worth the trip when the sourcing brief is narrow.
Why guided
What is the difference between attending a fair and using it?
An unguided buyer walks a fair with millions of square metres of stands, collects a bag of catalogues and comes home with contacts they cannot evaluate. Nobody told them which of those stands is a factory and which is a trading company with a rented booth. Nobody negotiated in Mandarin. Nobody flagged that the minimum order quantity quoted verbally is not the one that appears in the proforma.\n\nA guided mission produces a shortlist of verified suppliers, an agenda booked before landing, and someone in the room who has done this 35 times.
Are you an official Canton Fair agency?
Yes, accredited. In practice it affects registration, access and how quickly problems get solved on the ground during the fair.
Can you take a delegation from our company?
Yes. Missions run both as groups of Brazilian buyers and as dedicated trips for a single company with a specific sourcing brief. The second is more focused and usually shorter.
Do you verify the suppliers we meet?
That is the main reason to go with us. Registry checks can be run during the fair, and for serious candidates a plant visit can often be arranged in the same trip, since many factories are within reach of Guangzhou or Yiwu.
What if we already know which suppliers we want to meet?
Better. We book the agenda in advance, prepare the technical questions, interpret the meetings and handle the follow-up. A prepared agenda turns a five-day fair into something closer to a negotiation round.
