      During 2008 and 2009,the Executive Organizer,namely  Guangzhou Xinya Exhibition Co., Ltd. ,and metal industry  both  suffered from  the financial turmoil. In the second half of 2008 , we found that many companies have closed or stopped the  production,and a number of enterprises became conservative and skeptical of  all those publicity and promotional events ,which arousesd a negative attitude to the market. Nevertheless,all staff of  Guangzhou Xinya Exhibition Co., Ltd. keeps on studying and researching, discuss the management together with the producers to fight against the crisis,  encourages and supports each other . Ultimately, many companies have applied to take part in this exhibition and maintain a self-propaganda , self-proved  mentality of attending the exhibition.
