Hear What Exhibitors Say
“Hakka Affairs Council is dedicated to promoting and developing Hakka’s culture. This is the first time that we have organised a pavilion at the Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair. As the Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair is the largest fair of its kind in the world, it provides an ideal platform for us to promote the image of our ‘Hakka Taiwan’ brand and to showcase Hakka’s speciality products which are all hand-made and reflect Hakka’s culture and history. Our exhibits include food, tea, ceramic tableware, necklaces, shrawls and decorative items. We hope that the fair can help Hakka’s small manufacturers to reach out to international buyers and develop new markets.” Ke-Neng Wu, Director, Department of Industrial Economy, Hakka Affairs Council, Taiwan
“This is the third time that we have set up the Japan Pavilion at the Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair. At last year’s fair, Japanese exhibitors achieved very good results. This year we have led the largest-ever delegation comprising 17 Japanese companies. Japanese exhibitors are here showcasing all kinds of trendy products such as cosmetics, garments, stationery, toys and video games. The Hong Kong fair is an international trade fair where Japanese exhibitors can talk to many buyers and learn more about the market needs. More importantly, Hong Kong is an important gateway for Japanese companies to look for distributors and retailers from all over the world. We’ll continue to organise the Japan Pavilion next year.” Shosuke Fukushima, Director of Japan Pavilion, Business Guide-Sha, Inc., Japan
“Bowsha specialises in designing and producing bow ties for men who love fashionable designs. This is our first exhibition at the Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair to promote our handmade wooden bow ties. We are the first and only manufacturer in Indonesia that produces bow ties with light-weight recycled wood. As some companies in Indonesia are making cotton bow ties, we want to make something different by creating handmade wooden bow ties. Currently, our products are available online. We are taking advantage of the Hong Kong fair to develop our export business. So far, we have met with potential buyers from Australia and Hong Kong. We are happy to be here.” Apsha Aschwianda, CEO & Founder, Bowsha, Indonesia

“I am here sourcing Christmas, Easter and Halloween products for cart and kiosk operators in Canada. To survive in today’s highly competitive market, we need higher margin and look for innovative products which are unavailable in Canada. I have come to the Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair for the second time because the suppliers here offer new products at attractive prices. So far, I have found four potential suppliers from the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong for the supply of Easter bunnies, Christmas ornaments and Halloween costume. I have also found two design houses that can provide kiosk design for my customers. I’ll have further negotiations with these potential business partners after the fair. The quality of the products here is good. I’ll try to come to this fair every year.” Michael Portelance, Owner, Allagazyke Canada Inc., Canada
“Puckator is an importer and wholesaler of gifts and souvenirs, selling to retailers and department stores in Europe. Headquartered in the UK, our company has branch offices in France, Germany and Spain. We have come here to look for unique and interesting products especially for the Spanish market. Up till now, we have found several new items such as novelty toys, magic sand, plastic bottles, mugs and cocktail charms which are offered by two to three potential suppliers from Hong Kong. We’ll collect all the product information and quotations and discuss with our purchasing team in the UK after the fair. If the quality and price are good, our order will be around US$10,000 per item. We like the Hong Kong fair because it is the place where we can meet suppliers from different countries and regions and find new and interesting products. ”
