From 28th to 31st July 2023, the SPEAC team participated in 2023 China (Ningbo) International Household Appliances Expo.
The expo witnessed an impressive turnout, with nearly 400 home appliance enterprises showcasing their latest products as exhibitors. The spotlight was on small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) exporting their products towards the EU and USA.
