The Geneva Statement: A Genuine Turning Point for Global Trade
On May 12, China and the U.S. issued a joint statement in Geneva, calling for mutual respect, openness, and cooperation in trade. For those of us in international manufacturing and sourcing, this wasn’t just news—it was a signal.
What does it mean?
✅ Lower barriers for cross-border collaboration
✅ Greater clarity in customs and compliance
✅ More predictable lead times
✅ Lower risk in long-term partnerships
For lighting buyers in North America, this means less red tape, faster flow, and fewer surprises. When opportunity knocks, it’s time to move.
Meet QD13, QD14, QD16: Built to Stand Out
At Hengchuang, we focus on crafting high-performance plastic housings for the North American lighting market. Our QD13, QD14, and QD16 lines are already in use in street lights, commercial LEDs, and UL-certified wall fixtures.
These aren’t off-the-shelf parts—they’re designed to perform:
🔥 UL94 V-0 flame resistance
🌞 UV resistance for outdoor durability
💥 High-impact strength for long-term use
🔧 Tight dimensional tolerance for smooth installation
We use materials like PBT, PC, and custom thermal plastics—not just to meet standards, but to look good and perform even better.
Why Now Is the Smartest Time to Source
Before Geneva, buyers had concerns—geopolitics, freight spikes, delayed shipments. Now, much of that is beginning to ease.
📉 Freight prices are down over 30% from 2021
📲 Tools like WhatsApp, Zoom, and Alibaba Live make every step transparent
🏭 Factories are more open than ever to customization and quick response
We’ve added flexible molding, bilingual support, and faster sampling—all to make sourcing easier for our North American clients.
What Sets Hengchuang Apart? We're a Team, Not a Factory Line
We’re not a big, impersonal factory. We’re a tight-knit team focused entirely on plastic lighting components.
With 11 injection machines and a materials facility producing 200 tons monthly, we manage both raw material and final output.
What does that mean for you?
