Expired event archive: this page announced the 114th Canton Fair held 15–19 October 2013 and listed Booth 9.2L28. That event and booth assignment have ended. The company contacts and catalogues published with the old notice are historical and may be obsolete; they must not be used as current attendance, contact or product information.
Understand what this archive does and does not preserve
The page records an invitation tied to a past edition, dates and booth. It can support chronology but not current exhibition plans. Venue layouts, organisers’ requirements, entry arrangements, exhibitor identities and contact details may change between editions.
Do not travel, ship samples, schedule a meeting or cite a booth using this notice. For any current fair, use the organiser’s current official information and a freshly confirmed company appointment. Archive images remain documentary context rather than operational instructions.
Check current event name, edition, dates, venue, exhibitor directory and booth directly with authoritative current sources. Confirm the appointment again near travel. Keep that confirmation separate from the archived page so teams do not circulate a mixed itinerary.
Begin a current enquiry with the project brief
State country and city, building type, project stage, facade or floor application, approximate area and target programme. Identify whether the need concerns terracotta panels, baguettes, bricks, tiles, screens or another product family. Share the intended wall or floor role rather than only a reference photograph.
List mandatory jurisdiction, structural, fire, thermal, moisture, slip or durability criteria that responsible professionals have defined. Separate fixed requirements from preferences. This helps a current supplier route the enquiry without relying on the catalogue displayed in 2013.
Add the decision needed from the first contact: broad feasibility, sample shortlist, budget input, technical submittal or production planning. A clear purpose prevents an early conversation from being mistaken for final product approval or a delivery commitment.
Prepare drawings and a product schedule
Provide relevant plans, elevations and sections with dimensions, module, joint concept, corners, openings, interfaces and support strategy. Mark uncertain information. If drawings are confidential, follow the project’s approved information-sharing process and send only what is authorised.
For each requested unit, schedule current target dimensions, thickness or depth, finish, colour range, quantity, special pieces and intended system. Avoid asking for “the same as the fair sample” when the historical sample identity and current availability have not been verified.
Build a focused sample and evidence request
Samples
Request labelled current units showing the relevant colour, texture, geometry and fired variation.
Drawings
Ask for current profiles, tolerances, mass, attachment features and available special pieces.
Evidence
Map project criteria to exact-product or system reports with method, result, date and scope.
Logistics
Request present packing, production, inspection and delivery information for the stated destination.
A management-system or company certificate does not prove every product property. Ask targeted questions and record gaps. Current labelled samples and documents should replace any unidentified archive catalogue page as the approval basis.
Give every sample and document a project reference and receipt date. When alternatives arrive, keep their codes, finishes and evidence separate. A generic sample box becomes difficult to use once labels, emails and quotations are detached.
Plan a useful technical conversation
Send the agenda and documents in advance. Identify decision-makers and specialists attending. Group questions around product identity, wall or floor system, interfaces, evidence, mock-ups, quality controls, quantity and programme. Leave commercial negotiation distinct from unresolved technical acceptance.
During the discussion, record assumptions, document revisions, actions, owners and dates. Ask whether proposed products are standard, made to order or alternatives requiring development. Do not interpret conversational estimates as final availability, performance or delivery commitments.
Verify current contacts and information channels
Use the current contact page or a confirmed current company address rather than contact details printed in the 2013 notice. Check the recipient and purpose before sharing project information. Avoid sending credentials, payment instructions or unnecessary personal data through an unverified channel.
Review the current terracotta product overview and project gallery as starting points. Confirm codes, documents and dates for everything selected because live ranges can change after a web page or catalogue is published.
Turn the enquiry into a traceable action plan
After contact, issue a concise record of requested samples, drawings, reports, quotations and target dates. Keep superseded catalogues clearly marked. Compare responses with the original brief and route technical information to responsible project reviewers before commercial release.
If the project progresses, build a submittal register connecting the approved product, current documents, samples, mock-up, quantities, packing, inspection and programme. That controlled package—not a past booth visit—should govern procurement and installation.
Verify contractual entities, payment instructions and changes through the buyer’s approved controls. Do not rely on contact or banking details copied from an old event brochure. Separate technical approval, commercial authority and payment verification so one informal message cannot change all three.
