The wire-mesh trade in Anping traces to Ming-dynasty silk and hair-net weaving in 1488; modern metal wire-mesh production began in 1895 with the introduction of copper-wire mesh manufacturing. Growth accelerated after 1978, marked by People's Daily coverage in 1984, inclusion in the national Spark Program in 1987, the first national wire-mesh trade fair held in Anping in 1989, and completion of the dedicated Anping Wire Mesh World wholesale market in 1996. The China Hardware Products Association awarded Anping the title of China Wire Mesh Hometown in 1999, and it received recognition as a China Wire Mesh Industry Base in 2002.

For a buyer this means a deep local base of many small and mid-sized mesh producers rather than a few dominant firms, with related steel products, door and window hardware and construction items also present. Anping sits near Shijiazhuang, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and the Xiong'an New Area, and hosts the Anping International Wire Mesh Fair. FactoryBase profiles individual data points rather than certifying suppliers, so still verify production capacity, export volumes and shipment records directly.
