Overview
Sourcing and matchmaking for smart-manufacturing and industrial-automation buyers. BALKAN CHINA wraps pre-show preparation, on-site interpretation, supplier screening and post-show factory-visit extensions into a single sourcing-visit support package — designed for first-time visitors from the Balkans / Europe planning to compare multiple suppliers in Shanghai.
Core Value
One trip covers the core categories: industrial automation, robotics, CNC machine tools, new materials, 3D printing, energy & power — the main sourcing directions in one comparison cycle.
Lowers the first-time-in-China barrier: from visa support and airport transfer to hotel, business car and on-site interpretation — clients don't have to assemble a China-side fixer themselves.
More than "just looking": post-show, we group the suppliers you met by category, price range and rough tier — so back home, you can make partnership decisions on a structured list.
Fair + factory follow-through: when a supplier shows real intent, we can immediately schedule on-site factory visits in or around Shanghai.

Who it's for:
- Balkan / European traders, wholesalers, retailers and cross-border e-commerce teams
- First-time-in-China sourcing teams that want multi-brand comparison in one trip
- Wholesale / engineering buyers who need follow-on factory-depth visits
- Mid-sized companies with controlled budgets but high efficiency / reliability bar
Service standards:
- Show registration, exhibitor pre-research and target-supplier shortlist
- Mandarin / English / Serbian business interpreters
- Shanghai business hotel, airport transfer and city business car
