Different from the previous years some premium brand manufacturers didn’t participate in the show. 95% of the exhibition was focused on China’s local bearing manufacturers. 70% of the foreign exhibitors was from Japan or Korea.

Within the Chinese manufacturers the amount of Shandong bearing manufacturers was much higher as during the years before. The town Shandong is well know for low-quality or counterfeit bearing production. It seems that the local producers in this town have invested during the last years in new production equipment and can benefit from very attractive local tax, labor, land and finance regulations for the production of bearings. This situation is raising questions amongst other Chinese bearing manufacturers which are locted in Zhejiang, Jiangsu or similar regions who don’t benefit from this special local tax, labor, land and finance regulations.
