It brought together leading brands and enterprises within the silver industry, fully demonstrating the industry’s products from senior care services and health-care to elderly environment, and truly representing a benchmark event for the industry.”

The exhibitors and product categories now provide full coverage across the industrial chain, platform construction is growing, and this is giving us an enormously beneficial opportunity to show our products and to seek out new clients. Moving forward, I am looking forward to continuing a long-term cooperation with the Silver Expo to develop China’s silver industry.”
