If you’re going to the Canton Fair in Guangzhou, you’ll know that it can be an absolute whirlwind and a bit chaotic. There are thousands of suppliers packed into one enormous venue and there just isn’t enough time to see everything you want to see.
If your schedule is tight, you have to be strategic, as every single minute counts. However, if your potential supplier is close to the market, that changes everything. You can schedule a time before or after the fair and check out everything you need.
With HF Umbrellas, this is a real possibility. And the best bit… we are located just a short distance away from the fair. So, if you want a focused, efficient conversation that gets the job done, you don’t have too far to travel for fast, fuss-free umbrellas.

Convenience that Actually Works for You
HF Umbrellas factory and offices are located just a short drive away from the fair here in Guangzhou. If you have been to the fair before, you will know that that’s not always the case. Most of the time if you want to see a factory, you will have trek yourself and your crew on a train out of the city.
With us, that is simply not the case. You can finish looking around the fair in the morning and see us in the afternoon. It’s as simple as that. Here at HF Umbrellas, we work to make everything as convenient as possible and if you are at the Canton Fair, it doesn’t get much more convenient than this.
Cut the Logistics, Not the Corners
Don’t get us wrong, there is much more to what we offer than just being close. We also take great pride in making everything else as convenient as it can be for you, the buyer.
For instance, if you need to see samples, review print finishes, or iron out customisation details, we can handle all of that in person and in a timely fashion. Our fully stocked showroom is ready for you, and our team is always on hand to answer questions or walk you through options.
Better still, because our production team is nearby, we can get mock-ups made quickly – sometimes the very same day. All you have to do is ask and if it’s possible, we would be delighted to do it for you.
Hands-On Sourcing, Done Right
The beauty of sourcing while you’re on the ground is that you can handle everything in real time. No Zoom calls. No guessing if the colour on your screen matches the fabric in real life. You walk into our space, pick up a sample, open and close the umbrella, check the stitching, feel the grip. You know exactly what you’re getting – and who you’re getting it from.
And we want you to think of our showroom as an extension of the fair. Of course, it’s more focused and quieter, but nonetheless, this is a place that you can ask questions, see our range and speak with people who know the ins and outs of the business.
And because we’re local, we can move fast. We’ve had cases where a buyer came in during the morning, placed an urgent custom order, and our team began production the same evening. That kind of turnaround simply isn’t possible with suppliers based hours away.
Local Know-How, International Standards
Being based in Guangzhou doesn’t just mean we’re close by – it means we understand what you’re dealing with as a buyer at the Canton Fair. We know the pace. We know the challenges. We’ve worked with clients from all over the world and speak your language, both literally and professionally.
Never been to the fair before? We’ll help you navigate it. Our team knows the local scene and the global expectations that come with serious sourcing. That means quick answers, clear pricing, no unexpected fees, and flexibility when you need it most.
We can meet you at the fair, arrange transport to our facility, and have samples ready for review the same day. And if you’ve only got time after fair hours or need something ready early in the morning before your flight – no problem. We adapt to your schedule, not the other way around.
See the Factory, Not Just the Brochure
Plenty of suppliers at the Canton Fair talk a good game, but very few are willing – or able – to show you their production floor that same week. At HF Umbrella, we do things differently.
We can often arrange a quick visit while you’re in town. You’ll see our operations first-hand: printing stations, fabric cutting, assembly, the works. Nothing builds trust like seeing the process with your own eyes.
And this isn’t just a PR move. It shortens your decision-making timeline. You go from meeting the team to seeing production in action, all without needing to schedule a return trip to China. What might normally take weeks of back-and-forth can be settled in a single afternoon.
Make Sourcing the Easy Part of Your Trip
We’ve heard it from buyers again and again – sorting out umbrellas through us during their Canton Fair trip was the simplest part of their visit. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to. No waiting. No wondering. Just clear answers, fast action, and a product that delivers exactly what you asked for.
Our entire setup – from location to logistics – is designed to save you time and hassle, without sacrificing quality. And whether you’re a first-time buyer or a seasoned sourcing pro, you’ll get the same level of attention and professionalism from our team.
