It has been exactly a year since Jiuzhou Metal’s last involvement in the FABEX Saudi Arabia exhibition that is held on an annual basis. And there was no reason for us to miss FABEX Saudi Arabia 2024 taking place from Oct 13th to 16th  marking the 11th international exhibition of the platform!

FABEX alongside Metal & Steel Saudi Arabia, since its inception in 2012, has established its position as a business platform for the fields of steel, steel fabrication, foundry, metal processing, forming, cutting, welding, automation, finishing machinery, equipment, and tools. It provides a  classy event for the decision makers, technology giants, industry experts, manufacturers, suppliers, machinery companies, consultants, engineers, agents, traders, distributors, and experts in the steel and metallurgy industry to come together and create business opportunities for each other!

The four-day exhibition witnessed a remarkable presence of thousands of visitors from all over the world. A broad range of common steel products were showcased at the exhibition, including galvanized color-coating products, stainless steel plates, carbon steel coils, and carbon steel wires. Through a few in-depth communications with some local businesses, we realized how fast the steel markets of Saudi Arabia and its neighboring countries have grown and developed last year, largely due to the rapid growth of construction projects driven by the fast-growing economy in the Middle East. Currently, Saudi Arabia is going through the most crucial period of investment in steel production capacity, so the demand for importing steel from China has been booming. As a well-reputed steel manufacturer and supplier with decades of experience in the steel industry, Jiuzhou Metal has always adhered to the principle of "Honesty and Trustworthiness, Clients Ahead of Everything". The company has won loads of high praise from the clients for its highly specialized facilities and professional attitude emphasizing on consistent quality, quantity and service.

Our clients showed great enthusiasm and invited us to visit their companies and workshops, which was a very good opportunity for us to actually understand the operation system and standard of the local factories. And this will be of great help to the future development of Jiuzhou Metal. In fact, there is quite a number of long-term clients in Saudi Arabia who have been consistently purchasing in bulk from us. We visited a very strong local client who has two factories of nearly 10,000 square meters, mainly dedicated to the production of carbon steel coils and pipes. Such visits not only deepened the cooperation with our clients, but also gave us a deeper understanding of their business models and local market needs.

To conclude, Jiuzhou Metal's trip to Saudi Arabia in October was a very successful and pleasant experience. This exhibition allowed us to understand the changing needs of our clients and the local markets and made it clearer for us to make necessary adjustments on some strategic aspects of Jiuzhou Metal, in order to continuously improve and better meet clients’ needs. Lastly, we look forward to taking part in more overseas exhibitions in the last couple of months of 2024 and hopefully can meet you soon!
