Las Vegas National Hardware Show 2014

We attended the National Hardware Show, which was held at Las Vegas Convention Center in May 2014. It’s nearly impossible to meet every exhibitor due to the fact that it’s one of the biggest trade fairs held in the United States. As you can imagine, we focused only on companies from Asia, mainly on Chinese suppliers.

The world’s biggest hardware trade show in 2014 is over. Is it worth coming back next year?

More than 600 companies from Mainland China, hundreds from Taiwan, and dozens from Hong Kong came across the Pacific to show in the USA their newest products. Manufacturers from China presented a variety of products, including hardware and tools, paint and accessories, homeware, plumbing and electrical accessories, and lawn and garden products.

With bigger competition between Chinese producers, we saw better quality products and more technologically advanced products, and the majority of suppliers were able to accept orders starting from a couple of hundred dollars, which is equivalent to dozens of pieces rather than orders of min. hundreds of pieces or even orders equivalent to min. 1 container, which was very common for Chinese Factories.

Chinese products are still very cheap, but the quality becomes better and better, and the possibility of ordering small volumes makes the whole import from China process much more accessible to small and medium businesses here in the United States.

So if you want to meet new suppliers from China or think about starting to import from China, it’s definitely worth coming to Las Vegas for the 2015 edition of the National Hardware Show.

For those who were too busy during the show or didn’t come to Las Vegas, we present the whole list of Chinese Exhibitors from the Hardware Trade Show 2014 below.

Remember, those companies were there in Las Vegas, but you have to remember without a background check, you are not sure if those companies really exist. Meeting them at the fair doesn’t meet they are trustworthy. So to be sure, get your China Credit Report and don’t lose your money.
