Chengdu Lock Trade Electronic Commerce Co., Ltd. is a company that specializes in the application and promotion of electronic lock products and door hardware solutions for manufacturers. Recently, they announced on Hyundai Lock Network their willingness to offer "Sichuan Office" services to lock companies operating in the region. But why would an e-commerce company be involved in setting up an exhibition center? What benefits does this collaboration bring to both sides? A journalist recently interviewed the company to find out more.
**Dedicated Offices for Brand Locks**
Chengdu, Sichuan Province, serves as a major technology, trade, financial hub, and transportation node in the southwest region. As a political and cultural center with strong economic influence, it’s a key area where information converges and a major market not to be overlooked. Every manufacturer understands the importance of establishing a presence here. The Chengdu market offers strong consumer power and broad appeal, making it essential for expanding brand visibility and enhancing product quality. For manufacturers with the resources, setting up a local office is often the best choice.
However, for many small and medium-sized lock companies, opening an office in Chengdu is no easy task. Mr. Xue from Lock Trade explained that even foreign lock companies investing less than 100,000 yuan annually face challenges such as finding office space, hiring staff, and managing complex business operations. In reality, these companies may only need minimal support in Chengdu. By partnering with Chengdu Lock Trade Electronic Commerce Co., Ltd., they can rely on professional agents to handle everything from local operations to marketing—saving time and money.
“Everything from our employees, exhibition spaces, and online resources can become valuable assets for lock manufacturers,†said Mr. Xue. “Without any investment, foreign companies can easily establish a branch.â€
Setting up an office in Chengdu involves various administrative tasks, including business registration, taxation, staffing, and promotions. Many small and medium-sized lock companies don’t have enough business volume to justify a physical office. Yet, the western market like Chengdu is crucial for expansion. Many lock companies want to set up a window for sales, display, promotion, warehousing, distribution, and information exchange. The National Brand Lock Exhibition Center (Chengdu Station), established by Lock Trade Co., Ltd., provides an ideal solution.
The National Brand Lock Exhibition Center offers a platform for lock manufacturers to showcase their products, conduct business negotiations, and meet the needs of Sichuan residents looking for high-quality lock brands. It acts as a “never-ending sales center†for the region.
Finding a partner isn’t hard. Mr. Xue said that whether you're planning to open a branch, conduct preliminary research, or seek a distributor, Lock Trade can assist with all aspects of market development.
**Multiple Service Models**
A lock factory in Zhejiang used to send personnel to deliver goods to Chengdu customers, which was costly and inefficient. After collaborating with the “Chengdu Office,†the process became much smoother. Each shipment is communicated in advance, and the office sends someone to pick up the goods, deliver them to the customer, and manage payment reminders before transferring funds to the company.
For companies lacking the strength to build a real Sichuan office, working with experienced partners can significantly improve their sales performance and help them seize more opportunities.
Mr. Xue explained that the goal is to better serve the lock industry. With growing competition among agents, even those who are Sichuan distributors face pressure from nearby cities like Xi’an and Chongqing. If there's an exhibition center, it not only provides a display window but also brings dealers together to compare products and coordinate between manufacturers and retailers. This helps reach surrounding users more effectively.
With so many products available, agents struggle to focus on one. However, if a factory becomes part of the exhibition center, it receives stronger manufacturer support, allowing them to concentrate on specific products, invest more in manpower, materials, and after-sales service.
From the manufacturer’s perspective, this model is far more beneficial than just developing agents. While a Sichuan office is primarily sales-focused, small and medium-sized companies usually have limited daily transactions. They mainly need specific services such as sending samples, handling liaison, public relations, information services, market research, product experience, and assisting with pre- and after-sales support.
Providing these fundamental services has become a core part of Lock Trade’s business. This kind of cooperation is clearly mutually beneficial.
In fact, beyond information and sales support, Lock Trade offers comprehensive services tailored to the lock industry in Sichuan. Whether it's a domestic or foreign enterprise, large or small, if there's a need, there are multiple levels of assistance to ensure smooth operations.
