HORNBACH, one of Europe’s leading DIY, home improvement and garden retail groups, has confirmed its visit to the 7th Guangzhou Sourcing Fair (GSF) this October, where its procurement team will conduct on-site sourcing and supplier meetings.

 

The visit adds another major European retail name to GSF’s growing international buyer network, highlighting the fair’s role as an one-stop sourcing platform connecting global procurement demand with China’s manufacturing capabilities.

 

HORNBACH: A Major European DIY and Garden Retailer

 

Founded in 1894, HORNBACH Group operates across nine European countries, with approximately 174 DIY stores and garden centers, 39 building materials stores and around 25,000 employees. The group generates annual sales of approximately €6.4 billion.

 

 

With an established retail presence across Europe, HORNBACH represents the type of professional, large-scale buyer seeking reliable suppliers, competitive products and long-term sourcing partnerships.

 

Its presence at GSF also reflects the continued importance of China’s manufacturing supply chain to European DIY, home improvement and garden retail.

 

Strong Category Alignment with Guangzhou Sourcing Fair

 

HORNBACH’s sourcing interests closely correspond with several core product categories represented at GSF, particularly:

 

•Hardware, hand tools, power tools and accessories

 

 

•Building hardware and home improvement products

 

 

•Garden tools, outdoor products and DIY-related solutions

 

 

As European consumers continue to invest in home improvement, DIY projects and gardening, retailers are increasingly looking for suppliers capable of combining consistent quality and supply capacity with product innovation.
