Date of visit : 18th March 2007, Sunday
Place of visit 1 : CIFF 2007 Home Furniture Convention, Guangzhou
We visited the Annual Furniture Convention at the Chinese Export Commodities Fair Pazhou Complex. It is one of the large scale conventions in China. Representative from numerous international furniture companies set up booth there to display their products.
Currently, the lack of electricity is one of the major problem the company is facing. The nucleated factories is the main cause why electricity is lacking in that area. There would be 2-3 days in a week whereby the electricity for the factory would be cut down. To solve this problem, the company have to use their own generator to cope with their need of electricity.

Yong Xiang Furniture had two factories within the same location. The one we visited was for the assembly purpose while the other one is the production factory. The two factories was separated due to the high pollution in that area.
