"We are a vertically integrated organisation specialising in healthcare and eco-friendly products. We are launching our Cool Foam product at this fair; this is a fan for desk-top computers – manufacturing costs are low, it is durable and lightweight, uses very little energy as it plugs into the computer itself. We’ve had a lot of enquiries about this already, and on the first morning of the fair we took two orders from customers in Israel and Japan, with strong interest from a German buyer. This is our first time at this fair – HKTDC is a well-known fair organiser with a very professional approach."
Leo Heung, Director, Agog Limited, Hong Kong
"We are using eco-friendly materials for our computer laptop bags, such as RPET (recycled PET), biodegradable fabrics and organic canvas. This is our first time to exhibit in the Hall of Fine Designs at this show, and the attractive environment really matches our image. Visitors to this zone are looking for either brands or products with strong design. Buyers have been surprised to find out that our bags are for computers because with their colourful patterns they don’t look like traditional laptop cases. We’ve met customers from the United States, Italy, France, Australia and Japan, among others – this is a good mix for us."
Cambridge Chan, Senior Project Manager, Artapower International Group Limited, Hong Kong
"We are a leader in the market in fashion brands, and we are using the fair to launch the new Nina Ricci brand of gifts, including writing instruments and leather items. We’ve been exhibiting at this fair for many years. This show is special in that we see not just more international buyers but more serious buyers than elsewhere. We have taken orders from buyers in Europe, Middle East and Asia during the fair, with which we are happy."
Lionel Wajs, Chief of Operations, Plastoria SA, Belgium

Hear What Buyers Say |

"My company has been in the gifts business for 30 years, active in high-end wholesale and corporate items. I’ve been coming to this show since 1989 - why do I think it is important to keep returning? It’s because here I can see the latest trends and I can have face-to-face conversations with my regular suppliers; also the high quality of the products here serves our needs. Of the 50 suppliers I deal with regularly, around 30 exhibit here – so I can say that about 80% of my business occurs as a result of attending this show. I also look out for anything new and unique from new suppliers."
Kurken Berksanlar, President, Bey-Berk International, United States
"Brindz is active in the promotional marketing business, with clients such as Unilever, Kimberly-Clark and Diageo. We are also the sole Brazilian member of IPPAG, an international cooperative for gifts and premium. We always come to this show – we are looking for anything that can attract the interest of consumers at point-of-sale and which fits in with our customers’ image. We find good suppliers here with new ideas and new concepts. Also, the organisation of the fair is very good; we really appreciate the wonderful support we get from the HKTDC office in Brazil."
Pedro Siqueira, International Business, Brindz, Brazil
"Our company is growing, so we’ve brought some of our wholesalers and importers to the fair to look at new products together. We have a team of 15 people here. This fair is very convenient for us – Hong Kong is easy to get to and the timing of the show is good. Through this fair we not only find many interesting gift items, but we can also assess the trends in the market. Among the items that have caught our eye this week are stationery products and Christmas decorations. We have identified about 15 companies that our partners will follow up. The location of this show is very convenient and the facilities are nice."
Kazuyuki Ikeda, Officer & General Manager, The Loft Co., Ltd., Japan
