Gapuma’s Director of Purchasing: China Visit

08 April 2025   Gapuma is pleased to announce that its Director of Purchasing, Russell Brill, will be embarking on an extended visit to China this April, further reinforcing the company’s strategic commitment to global sourcing and supplier partnerships. A key highlight of the visit will be Russell’s attendance at CHINAPLAS 2025, Asia’s leading plastics and rubber trade fair, taking place from 15th to 18th April in Shenzhen. Widely recognised as one of the world’s most influential industry exhibitions, CHINAPLAS draws over 4,000 exhibitors and thousands of industry professionals from around the globe. In addition to attending CHINAPLAS, Russell will spend 19th to 24th April in Qingdao, home to Gapuma’s China office. Located in Shandong province, Qingdao continues to serve as a strategic procurement hub for many of the company’s key sources of supply. Despite a demanding travel schedule involving multiple high-level meetings and supplier engagements across the country, Russell remains open to connecting with new partners seeking to collaborate with Gapuma. The visit reflects his ongoing dedication to sourcing excellence, product innovation, and supply chain development. Russell spoke with enthusiasm ahead of the trip: “China remains a cornerstone of our international procurement strategy. CHINAPLAS offers an invaluable opportunity to identify new technologies, strengthen ties with trusted partners, and remain ahead of market trends.” Gapuma will be sharing updates throughout the visit via its latest news bulletins and social media platforms. Stay tuned for exclusive insights as Russell engages with industry leaders and explores new opportunities for collaboration.
