The 139th Canton Fair marked another defining moment for Homa — globally recognised as one of the world’s leading refrigerator manufacturers and a major OEM and ODM partner for international appliance brands, retailers and importers.

This year carried a special meaning.

Following the IF Design Award recognition for Homa Design Magazine and the launch of Magazine Issue No.8, Homa once again confirmed its ambition to shape not only products, but also the future conversation around refrigeration innovation, appliance design culture and the evolution of the global Major Domestic Appliances industry.

Every year, millions of refrigerators and cooling appliances manufactured by Homa reach households across global markets through partnerships with leading international brands, produced inside Homa’s advanced refrigeration manufacturing ecosystem built around quality, innovation and long-term industrial reliability.

Why do global brands continue to choose Homa as their manufacturing and innovation partner?

Because today, buyers searching for refrigerator manufacturers in China are no longer looking only for cheap production capacity .
They are searching for innovation capability, industrial reliability, food preservation expertise, design culture and long-term strategic partnership.

Homa represents a new generation of China-based refrigeration manufacturing: globally integrated, design-driven and innovation-oriented.

This is exactly where Homa continues to expand its role — from appliance manufacturer to global platform for refrigeration innovation, OEM collaboration and product development.

More than an exhibition stand, our booth — evolving into what we introduced during this Canton Fair as The Homa Squares — became a true meeting point for the global appliance ecosystem: a place where retailers, distributors, sourcing managers, OEM partners, product developers, designers and industry leaders gathered not only to do business, but to exchange perspectives, discuss market evolution and explore the future direction of refrigerators, freezers and cooling appliances together.

The concept behind The Homa Squares was born from a simple but powerful observation: throughout history, the world’s great squares have never been just physical places.

They were spaces where business, culture, conversation and vision came together.

From traditional city plazas to contemporary urban landmarks, squares have always connected people, ideas and industries.

At Canton Fair, Homa translated that philosophy into an exhibition experience designed not simply as a booth, but as an open platform for dialogue and collaboration.

And this year, that vision naturally expanded beyond the fairground itself.

If the first Homa Square was built inside the exhibition halls, the second emerged under the skyline of Guangzhou — at Canton Tower Plaza itself.

Inspired by the great public squares of the world, the concept represents openness, dialogue and discovery.

A space where refrigeration technology meets design culture.
Where product sourcing becomes strategic collaboration.
Where innovation becomes conversation.

The Homa Squares reflect a broader transformation happening across the global Major Domestic Appliances sector, where sourcing, manufacturing, user experience, sustainability and industrial design are becoming increasingly interconnected.

Inside Homa Square at Canton Fair, visitors discovered a new generation of cooling solutions designed around the three core pillars that define Homa’s philosophy: Design, Food Preservation and Care.

Because for Homa, refrigeration is not simply about cooling technology.
It is about improving everyday life through intelligent design, advanced food preservation performance and a deep culture of care toward users, partners and future generations.

From chest freezers and compact refrigerators to advanced cooling platforms developed for global OEM and ODM partnerships, the showcase reflected Homa’s ongoing pursuit of excellence in refrigerator engineering, appliance manufacturing and international product development.

More than products, these launches represent Homa’s long-term vision for the future of refrigeration appliances: intelligent usability, emotional design language and manufacturing quality capable of supporting global brands across multiple markets.

At the foot of the iconic Canton Tower, the Homa April Event transformed Canton Tower Plaza into an immersive outdoor experience, welcoming over 500 international guests and clients during one of the most ambitious editions we have ever created.

For the first time, the event moved fully outdoors.

Breaking away from the traditional banquet format, food trucks, open gathering spaces and immersive staging encouraged spontaneous interaction, conversation and connection between guests from all over the world.

More than a corporate gathering, the Homa Event became a live expression of the philosophy shared throughout this year’s Design Talk by Homa CEO Michael Yao:

“In a world full of products, it is great design that tells the true story of a brand and creates lasting value.”  (you can enjoy the full speech here) That message resonates strongly in today’s appliance industry, where OEM refrigerator manufacturing is increasingly evaluated not only on production scale, but also on design vision,

emotional value, user experience and the ability to help international brands differentiate themselves in highly competitive global markets.

With Canton Tower illuminating the skyline above us, the evening reflected exactly what Homa gatherings represent today: a global platform where appliance manufacturing, refrigeration innovation, sourcing strategy, industrial design and cultural exchange come together.

Not simply a networking event.
Not simply a product launch.

But a shared vision for the future of refrigerators, cooling appliances and the global Major Domestic Appliances industry.
