PROVIDING EVERYDAY CONVENIENCE

A large chunk of the some 1,000 Chinese companies attending the CES 2020 are small companies with no more than 100 employees. They are mainly engaged in designing and producing small products closely related to everyday life, from phone screen protectors, tooth brushes to vehicle electronics.

These small companies may not be high-tech, but they still have eye-catching innovative elements in their products.

A U-shaped electric tooth brush presented by Magenta Technology International Ltd. from the Chinese city of Shenzhen aroused the interest of many visitors.

"There is no such design in the U.S. market," said Sober Gao, managing director with Magenta. "We have a number of patents on this product."

Patrick McNamara from North Carolina, who showed a keen interest in the tooth brush, said he had never seen that design before.

"It's better than the traditional tooth brush. It looks original and unique," he said, while advising the company to improve the handle of the product so that it can have a more professional look.

Beneworld International, a small company engaged in vehicle electronics, exhibited dozens of uniquely designed GPS, rear view monitor, DVR and other vehicle electronic products.

"We have dozens of patents, both design and software patents," said Stephen Tang, CEO of Beneworld. "We follow scientific and technological development very closely and (are) always quick to integrate state-of-the-art technologies into our products."

"The quality is good for the price," said Jamal Awad from the U.S. state of Georgia, who was negotiating with Tang at the booth, planning to order 500 rear view monitors.

The CES 2020 hosted some 4,500 companies, nearly a quarter of which are from China. "China remains a top international market at CES, with many Chinese companies exhibiting at the show to build their brand and forge global partnerships," said the CTA in an email to Xinhua.
