Demand-orientated sourcing selection
After completing the supplier search, the German buyers will receive an individualized combined supplier list. The buyers then will evaluate the suppliers, according to whom meet their needs. The suppliers that received the best evaluations will be invited to participate at the conference.
This is an opportunity for German buyers to have professional B2B meetings with potential suppliers out of the following commodities: Metal construction, cast and forged parts, stamped and bent parts, injection molding, plastic and electronic components, welded assemblies, assembly, production materials and drawing parts.
