Hear What Exhibitors Say |

“Liuyang city in Hunan Province is famous for producing grass cloth, also known as ramie. We make use of this eco-friendly material and combine traditional craftsmanship with modern designs to produce clothing, bags, home decorative items and tea coasters. Our main markets include Hong Kong, Japan and Korea. This is our first-time participation in the Hunan Pavilion. As the Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair is a leading trade fair of its kind in the world, we are keen to promote ramie products to international buyers and increase our exposure. Buyers from Argentina, Canada, France, the Netherlands and Saudi Arabia are very interested in our products. A French buyer has already placed a trial order for 100 ramie purses while two buyers from the Netherlands and Saudi Arabia have expressed their intention to buy our products. As buyer responses have been encouraging, we hope to come back next year.”
Songyuan Lu, Founder, Liuyang XinZhiXia Cultural Creativity Co., Ltd, the Chinese mainland |
“We have organised the Japan Pavilion at the Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair for the fourth consecutive year. This year a total of 10 Japanese companies are showcasing many creative products such as stationery, wooden tableware, fashion accessories, small home appliances, stainless steel bottles, pottery, rugs, towels and huggy pillows. New products include palm-sized label printers from King Jim Co., Ltd. and ice slicers featuring creative designs from Doshisha. As the Hong Kong fair attracts a lot of buyers from all over the world, Japanese exhibitors want to look for new customers through the fair. At last year’s fair, the Japan Pavilion achieved good results and eight of the exhibitors have returned to this year’s fair. Renowned for original designs and high quality, Japanese exhibitors look forward to another successful year at the fair.”
Shunsuke Fujimoto, Sales Department, Business Guide-Sha, Inc., Japan |
 “PO: is a Danish brand launched since 1999. By co-operating with different designers from around the world, we add creative, artistic and functional features to tableware and drinkware, which can improve our living standard. At the fair, we are highlighting our new product — Pao Thermo Mug which features a two-way tea-leaf compartment, allowing you to choose how long to brew your tea, preventing the bitter taste of over-brewing by placing the mug upside down as well as filtering out chunk leaves or rose buds. This new product has aroused strong interest from many buyers. In the first three hours of the fair, we made about 50 new contacts from the Chinese mainland, Europe, the Middle East, North America and South America, and will follow up with them after the fair. We are happy with the results so far.”
Wilson Wong, Deputy Head of Business, PO: Selected Company Limited, Hong Kong |

 “In business for 45 years in Sydney, Featherdale Wildlife Park receives 500,000 visitors every year and annual sales turnover of our souvenir shop hits A$5 million, so we need to buy a lot of gifts and premiums to meet our business needs. The Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair is an important sourcing event for us because it is the world’s largest fair of its kind, featuring a wide variety of gifts and premiums offered by more than 4,300 exhibitors from all over the world. It is important for me to come here to see what’s new in the market and look for new ideas. At the fair, I am looking for different products such as sunglasses, jewellery, soft toys and novelty products. I have found two to three potential suppliers of fashion jewellery, key chains, bracelets with animal charms, and plastic badges on the first day of the fair. I’ll find more new suppliers in the next few days.”
Tony Chiefari, General Manager, Featherdale Wildlife Park, Australia |
“With eight stores in Brazil, STR sells tableware, flatware, home decorations and photo frames. I visit the Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair almost every year because it brings together a wide range of high-quality products with nice designs and good prices. I find the HKTDC business matching service very useful. With the help of the HKTDC business matching team, I have already found two to three potential suppliers of mugs and LED desk lamps. I am waiting for their quotations and minimum order quantity requirements. I am going to buy US$50,000 worth of assorted items from different suppliers after the fair.”
Julio Cesar Masutti, Director, STR Importacao Exportacao LTDA, Brazil |
