Malaysia’s trade promotion agency, MATRADE, Consulate General of Malaysia in Guangzhou, are organizing a Market Immersion to Guangzhou from 18th to 21st, with the aim to link Malaysian Mid-Tier Companies (MTCs) with potential business partners and buyers.

The meeting brings various Malaysian MTCs, including Erapoly Global Sdn Bhd, a manufacturer of UHT coconut milk and ingredients, and Zhulian Industries Sdn Bhd, a manufacturer and distributor of instant coffee beverages.

The participants also include those that have identified and seeking for potential opportunities in Guangzhou from the food & beverage sector, including Fusipim Sdn Bhd, a manufacturer of frozen seafood (surimi) and Maestro Swiss, a manufacturer of chocolate malt based drinks.

In addition, MATRADE and Guangdong General Chamber of Commerce (GGCC) will hold a one-to-one business matching session with their members on December 20th. The session will include more than 30 meetings as well as a trip to visit companies in Shenzhen.

The Market Immersion event is part of the Mid-Tier Companies Development Programme (MTCDP) of Malaysia dedicated to partner MTCs with global partners. It gains support from China Council for the Promotion International Trade Guangzhou & Guangdong and Guangzhou Aquatic Production Chamber of Commerce.
