Lines upon lines of machines rumble, production lines run efficiently, and workers were busy and orderly in fulfilling overseas orders... Yesterday, as NBTM New Materials Group Co., Ltd. began operations, the production workshop was bustling with activity.
"The order volume for the first quarter is very sufficient, so we started early to ensure that we can deliver orders in the shortest time possible." said Ma Xiaohong, Sales Director of NBTM New Materials, with a radiant expression. The company produces a variety of auto parts that are exported to North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, and other regions, with an expected export growth rate of 20% to 30% in 2025.
Ningbo Raffini Import & Export Co., Ltd. is also the one who has sounded the horn of production.
"This year, our order volume has increased significantly compared with the same period last year. In order to fulfill orders and capture market share, we officially started operations on the eighth day of the first lunar month. On that day, over 300 employees were actually on duty, with an attendance rate exceeding 60%. The company has also started recruiting new employees to meet the increased orders," said Xiang Qiongying, President of Raffini Import & Export Co., Ltd.
Raffini's flagship product is comb. The print machines shuttle across the mold tables, carefully applying intricate designs, dressing the combs in their uniquely designed "fine clothes".
Xiang Qiongying candidly stated that these combs, in addition to their novel appearance, also excel in details such as surface treatment and anti-static functionality, which are highly valued in overseas markets. As an advanced customs-certified enterprise, the company still enjoys priority processing benefits from Yinzhou Customs during the Spring Festival, with batches of high-quality products being shipped globally.
Hard work brings early spring. In the workshop, workers are bustling with activity, while foreign trade salesman are equally busy, flying to trade exhibitions around the world to actively secure orders and strive for a good start of foreign trade throughout the year.
The salesmen of Raffini Import and Export have already packed their business trips for the year, with a tight schedule of exhibition plans showcasing the company's determination to expand its market.
"According to the plan, our salesmen need to attend overseas exhibitions every month. The main destinations are North America and Europe, especially the United States and Italy." said Xiang Qiongying.
On the evening of February 4, the foreign trade team of Guangbo Group Co., Ltd. departed from Shanghai Pudong International Airport, heading to Frankfurt, Germany. From February 7 to 11, the world's largest consumer goods exhibition, the Frankfurt International Spring Consumer Goods Exhibition, will be held.
The relevant person in charge of the Guangbo team told the reporter that they had invited many old friends for in-depth discussions during the exhibition. They also published information about the company's participation and booth details online, inviting new customers to visit the event.
"We have made full preparations for this exhibition. Not only do we aim to secure significant orders for 2025, but we also want to understand the trends and demands of the international market, so we can focus on product development and market expansion," said the person in charge.
