The 140th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) opened today, October 15, 2026, at the Canton Fair Complex in Pazhou, Guangzhou — and Five Star Metal, the manufacturing arm of the Leeter group, is on the floor at Booth 13.1B07 in Phase 1. If you are sourcing construction wire, mesh, fencing or fasteners from China this autumn, come and see it in person: Phase 1 runs October 15 to 19, and our export team is at the booth every day.
The autumn session is the larger of the Canton Fair's two yearly editions. The fair spans 1.55 million square metres of exhibition space across three phases, and the previous (139th) session drew 314,000 overseas buyers from 220 countries and regions, according to the organiser. Phase 1 is the Advanced Manufacturing block, which includes the Hardware and Tools sections where wire and wire-mesh makers like us exhibit.

At our booth today — 13.1B07
The wall is stocked with the working range importers actually ask for: galvanized and annealed wire, hot-dip galvanized and PVC-coated welded mesh, hexagonal netting, chain-link, barbed and razor wire, square wire mesh, plus the fastener lines — nails, anchor bolts, rebar-support mushroom caps and clips. You can handle the gauge, check the zinc, compare Class 1 and Class 3 coatings, and talk panel sizes and container packing directly with the people who run the production lines in Dingzhou.
Opening day on the floor
Day one brought a steady flow of international buyers to 13.1B07 — specification sheets handed across the counter, samples photographed, and quotes started on the spot. Our team is set up to turn a walk-up conversation into a real offer before you leave the hall: tell us the product, gauge, coating and target market, and we prepare a matched quote and a container-loading plan while you are at the booth.
Come to the booth, or we come to you
We would be glad to welcome you to Booth 13.1B07 any day from October 15 to 19. Reserve a meeting with our export team →
