Inter Commerce Expo Corporation (ICEC), a Shandong-based economic and trade exchange platform, received a message from Mr. Mirza Ali of Rajput Brothers Traders in Pakistan regarding his upcoming visit to China for procurement.
As early as 2023, Ali’s business partner, Mr. Umar Shahzad, traveled to China to purchase bearings. With the help of ICEC, Mr. Shahzad visited several bearing factories in Liaocheng, Shandong Province, where he established business relationships and procured sample bearings to bring back to Pakistan. “This time, my target products are inverters and laser cutting machines,” Ali stated.
Given Pakistan’s deteriorating power supply, he has identified market opportunities in photovoltaic and energy storage products, prompting him to expand his distribution range. “Opportunities must be seized,” he added. Pakistan’s power consumption has undergone significant changes in recent times, with many consumers transitioning to solar power.
This shift includes the agriculture sector, where rows of solar panels have become a new normal, according to Pakistani media outlet GEO. “Many factories in Pakistan now aspire to enhance their manufacturing capabilities, and our industrial sector needs to accelerate its development,” Ali noted, predicting that trade in intermediate goods will become mainstream in Pakistan for the future. “If possible, I would like to establish my own factory,” he added.
Ali places great emphasis on the specifications, applicable scenarios, and—most importantly—the quality of inverters. “While many people assume that price is the top priority in the Pakistani market, we are increasingly focusing on product quality. I want the highest quality products.”
After visiting a Shenzhen-based company that specializes in inverters, he was highly impressed by Chinese manufacturing. Without hesitation, he purchased samples on the spot, intending to take them back to Pakistan upon his return, Gwadar Pro reported on Monday.
