As a steady player in this field, we have put together this careful handbook to assist you in getting the most out of your time at the Canton Fair.
You are warmly welcome to visit us at Booth 9.1 M07 to explore our latest collections and discuss potential cooperation.
Meticulous Pre-Exhibition Preparation
To make your trip to Guangzhou fruitful, thorough planning for travel and setup is vital.
1. Visa and Registration (The Gatekeeper)
Buyers from abroad need an official invitation letter to get a Chinese visa.
- New Buyers: Sign up using the “Buyer E-service Tool” on the official Canton Fair website. You have to submit your business card and passport information to obtain an e-invitation.
- Regular Buyers: If you have a Buyer Badge already (the 9-digit ID), then you can log in right away. This badge works for several events, so bring the original card to skip a 200 RMB fee for a new one.
2. Schedule and Timing (2026 Spring Session)
The Canton Fair takes place in three parts. For the area of brass faucets, shower heads and sanitary accessories, Phase 2 stands as your main opportunity.
- Phase 1 (April 15–19): Electronics, machinery, hardware, and tools.
- Phase 2 (April 23–27): Building and decorative materials, sanitary and bathroom equipment, furniture, and homeware.
- Phase 3 (May 1–5): Textiles, office supplies, and medical devices.
- Exhibition Hours: 9:30 AM – 6:00 PM.
3. Logistics and Accommodation
The event occurs at the China Import and Export Fair Complex (No. 382, Yuejiang Zhong Road, Guangzhou). Since Phase 2 brings heavy crowds, we suggest reserving rooms in the Pazhou or Tianhe areas at least 45 days ahead. Take advantage of the Metro Line 8 (Pazhou Station) for the quickest way to get there.
Core Standards for Evaluating Sanitary Suppliers
While walking the exhibition halls, rely on these three key measures to spot a top-notch producer:
1. The Superiority of Brass Faucets
The quality of materials forms the base of lasting use. At EMPOLO, we focus on brass faucets built from pure solid brass. And unlike options made from zinc alloy, our brass build offers built-in resistance to germs and holds up well against rust in damp settings. When you examine a sample, feel its weight—our brass faucets have a solid feel that points to strong build and fine workmanship.
2. Engineering of High-Performance Shower Heads
A solid shower relies on steady water flow. Our shower heads feature carefully made nozzles that stop mineral deposits from forming. Be it a rain-style shower or a portable one, we make sure the water pressure stays even. This approach saves water yet keeps the experience pleasant.
3. Integration of Sanitary Accessories
A unified bathroom calls for matching sanitary accessories. We create a complete set of towel racks, robe hooks, and tissue holders. When you get your sanitary accessories from the same maker as your faucets, you guarantee a perfect fit in finishes (like Brushed Gold or Matte Black) and overall style.

FAQ:
Q: Which hall should I prioritize at the Canton Fair for high-end brass faucets?
A: Go straight to the Sanitary and Bathroom Equipment area in Phase 2. Check out the “Brand Zone” inside the halls, where proven makers like us show our newest customized bathroom solutions.
Q: How can I distinguish between a professional manufacturer and a trading company during the Canton Fair?
A: This is a crucial question for long-term sourcing. Real manufacturers like us typically have a specialized focus—for instance, EMPOLO focuses deeply on brass faucets, shower heads, and sanitary accessories with our own casting and CNC facilities. Trading companies often display a disconnected variety of goods. To verify, you can ask for technical details of the customized bathroom design process or request a factory tour. Since our factory is located in nearby Kaiping, we always encourage buyers to visit our production lines to see the 100% pressure testing and polishing processes firsthand, ensuring you are dealing directly with the source for the best tailored solutions.
Q: Does EMPOLO provide customized finishes for sanitary accessories?
A: Yes. With our tailored solutions, we can make sanitary accessories in many PVD coatings. This ensures they blend seamlessly with the shade and feel of our brass faucets.
Q: What are the benefits of WaterMark and cUPC-certified shower heads?
A: These approvals confirm that the shower heads follow tough rules on flow rates and safety in Australia and North America. Our focus on these rules means that our customized bathroom solutions meet legal and secure standards for your region.
Q: How does EMPOLO ensure the quality of its brass faucets before shipping?
A: Each of our brass faucets goes through a strict full test for air and water pressure. We also run salt spray checks on the coating of our sanitary accessories. This makes sure they endure the toughest conditions in bathrooms.
