Briefing:
Gasgoo International, China’s largest automotive B2B marketplace, organized the 2008 Gasgoo Auto Parts Matchmaking Event in Qingdao to coincide with the 7th Qingdao International Auto Show.
A company dedicated to accommodating the dramatically rising needs of global auto parts purchasers, Gasgoo International assists buyers worldwide in finding Chinese suppliers efficiently and successfully. Global purchasers included Alexander Dennis, Dana, Valeo, Rieter, Eissmann, Haldex, IKCO, PSA, Takata, Paccar, Honeywell, and Mitsuba (Qingdao). 73 Chinese suppliers attended the event. Both buyers and suppliers felt it was a great success.
Testimonials of global buyers and Chinese suppliers:
“We thank Gasgoo for this matchmaking event. Since China is so big, we always need a whole day to visit just one supplier in one city. However, this convenient event gives us many opportunities in one day. According to my experience, the Chinese suppliers are in different levels. It’s a challenge for us to filter out good ones; now Gasgoo helps me much in this way.”
-------- Mr. Billy Lau, Alexander Dennis
“I am looking forward to attending your future events as this one was really helpful.”
---- Mr. James Lu, Rieter
“We have many projects to source in China. We are so grateful that Gasgoo provides us such a great opportunity, which has saved us much energy and cost.”
--Chunguo Cui, MITSUBA
“We are going to recommend qualified suppliers for our foreign offices as well as the domestic factories. Gasgoo supports us a lot and I hope it can hold such events frequently and provide us with more qualified suppliers.”
--Tim Tian, DANA
“Such events are profitable to both buyers and suppliers. It’s more efficient than taking part in the exhibitions. I hope Gasgoo will hold such events more frequently.”
--Mahta Mehdi, IKCO
“I am very glad to attend Gasgoo’s matchmaking event. On one side, as a buyer we know many other OEMs’ buyers. I know valuable information and some singles of this market, and on the other side, it’s a good chance for suppliers to meet so many buyers face to face, and then get the idea of what the buyers need and the market needs. And they can also market the quality of their factories; it’s very useful for Chinese suppliers to promote themselves.”
-- Jonathan Kang, Honeywell
