JD Hardware City made its debut at the China International Labor Protection Trade Fair, creating the largest brand e-commerce platform in the industry.

On April 7th, the 110th China International Labor Protection Supplies Expo (referred to as the Labor Protection Expo) grandly opened at the Shanghai New International Expo Center. JD INDUSTRIALS (07618) made an appearance at the Labor Protection Expo and attracted attention. As a provider of industrial supply chain technology and service solutions under the JD Group, JD INDUSTRIALS adheres to the core commitment of "Buy hardware at JD Hardware City on JD, both good and cheap", continuously leading the digitization of procurement services in the personal protective equipment (PPE) industry. At the same time, with its integrated personal protective equipment supply chain technology and services, JD INDUSTRIALS is helping the industry to transform and upgrade towards high-quality development. The Shanghai Labor Protection Expo is the largest and most professional flagship exhibition in the personal protective equipment industry in the Asia-Pacific region. This exhibition gathered over 1500 global industry brands covering various segments such as personal protective equipment, occupational health, safety equipment, attracting over one hundred thousand professional buyers to attend and trade. It serves as a core platform for the release of trends and supply-demand connection in the global personal protective equipment industry. The domestic personal protective equipment industry is entering a period of golden growth in high-quality development: With the continuous improvement of safety production regulations, the compliance requirements for labor protection in enterprises are constantly increasing, combined with the awakening of workers' self-protection awareness. The overall market size of the industry maintains an annual growth rate of over 10% and is gradually transitioning towards branding, high quality, and intelligence. However, the industry still faces structural pain points that need to be resolved: Upstream brands face bottlenecks such as dispersed channels and insufficient digital operational capabilities, while downstream purchasing, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, have long faced issues such as inconsistent product quality, weak authentic product guarantees, and low purchasing efficiency. The industry urgently needs professional and reliable supply chain technology and services to bridge the supply-demand chain. Over the past twenty years, JD Group has deeply cultivated the supply chain field and, with technological innovation and infrastructure improvements, has profoundly changed user experience and industrial efficiency with the "Super Supply Chain". As an industrial supply chain technology and service provider under JD Group, JD INDUSTRIALS has created a super supply chain that covers the personal protective equipment industry, providing various forms of services including product services, technology services, consulting services, and operational services. Through JD INDUSTRIALS' unique ability in connecting large enterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises, micro-enterprises, individual consumers, and overseas markets, it creates value and new growth space for personal protective equipment brands. As China's largest digitized procurement service and brand e-commerce platform in the personal protective equipment industry, JD Hardware City relies on JD INDUSTRIALS' digital supply chain capability and has become a core hub for supply and demand connection in the industry, continuously deepening users' recognition of "Buy hardware at JD Hardware City on JD, both good and cheap". JD Hardware City has built the largest personal protective equipment supply chain system in the industry, controlling product quality from the source: Directly connecting with top PPE brands to achieve direct sourcing, maintaining strict inbound quality inspections, and establishing a full-chain product traceability system to prevent counterfeit and shoddy products from entering the market, building a strong quality defense line for enterprise procurement. At the same time, leveraging JD's national warehouse distribution network, eliminating multi-level distribution links, significantly reducing circulation costs, ensuring product quality, and maintaining price advantages. Currently, JD Hardware City's personal protective category covers over 100,000 SKUs, establishing deep cooperation with leading domestic and foreign brands such as 3M, PIP, Delta Plus, MSA, Delixi Electric, Amas, Sida, Henghui, and Sikang, to meet the full-range procurement needs of different industries and users. Personal protective equipment products directly relate to the safety and health of workers. Problems such as falsely labeled safety helmet materials, exaggerated filtering efficiency of protective masks, and mismatched puncture resistance parameters of work gloves can lead to irreversible injuries such as work-related injuries and occupational diseases, endangering life safety. JD INDUSTRIALS initiated the "No False Labeling in Industrial Products" movement, cracking down on false labeling issues through full-chain quality control, "ten times compensation for fakes" commitment, and veto power for suppliers, to govern false labeling issues from the source and strengthen safety defenses. At the same time, through digitized traceability and engineer evaluations, promoting industry standardization, breaking the cycle of inferior products driving out superior ones, allowing honest and high-quality products to stand out, ensuring peace of mind for enterprise procurement, safeguarding the safety of frontline workers, and promoting high-quality development of the industry. The relevant person in charge of JD INDUSTRIALS stated that personal protective equipment is related to the health and safety of workers and the compliance of enterprise production. In the future, JD INDUSTRIALS will continue to leverage its supply chain advantages and rely on the platform capabilities of JD Hardware City to provide high-quality, cost-effective products, and efficient services to the procurement side, while helping upstream brand manufacturers reduce costs, increase efficiency, and expand the market. Collaborating with the entire industry to promote the high-quality development of China's personal protective equipment industry.
