Maybe some of you have already noticed that a few of our items have recently had a small Link Triad Brand logo on the label. However, unlike other companies that revisit old logos, this is not a mere marketing gimmick:.
"Link Triad Brand" was the brand under which the Guangxi Provincial State Export Company marketed all fireworks from this region internationally. This came to an end in the 1990s when the Chinese fireworks industry was privatised.
For a long time, the factories in Guangxi province were known for their high quality fireworks, and were often considered better than fireworks from Hunan or Jiangxi.
Many popular items came from Guangxi - be it the best firebirds, hummers, black powder friction bangers; the original Starkids, Roman lights with gold spark delay, batteries with crazy howling and humming effects, as well as many more.
Today, however, they are either no longer available, or production has been moved to Hunan/Jiangxi and the quality has deteriorated significantly. The reason for this was often that in Guangxi, elaborate, traditional production methods were held on to, and thus the prices were no longer competitive.
Today, there are only a few factories in Guangxi, about 10% of the number that existed 10-15 years ago.
Therefore, it has unfortunately become very difficult to source items from there, as there is no one left who is licensed or even able to produce many of the items.
Nevertheless, we are trying our best to offer our customers in Europe some fireworks from Guangxi again under the link Triad Brand and with an independent design for this line.
This is a 1kg compound with the screeching spinners typical for Guangxi items, which maybe some people still know from old cakeboxes, as well as colored palm / wave effects. The palm effects are actually not so good - in general the most stars which are being used in Guangxi now are stuck on the level of 1990s effects. But we intentionally chose the first items of thise line in a way, so that they contain the classic effects normally used there. The bursts are pretty loud and strong for this caliber, but not so round, as the paper tubes are quite thick (this is necessary, in order to press the screeching spinners, as Guangxi makes whistles etc without plastic tubes) - so combined with the screeching spinning tails this compound creates an impressive accoustics, which the video can´t show at all as the microphone can´t record it properly. Definately no beautiful to watch compound - but one which is a lot of fun to shoot in person, and which by it´s rising effect is quite different from most other items on the market now.
