“The Hong Kong Toys and Baby Products Award encourages exhibitors to develop innovative products. I have seen more innovative and sophisticated products in this year’s competition. We hope to see more exhibitors participate in this competition in the future.”
Lawrence Chan, VP & Managing Director, Asia, Toys R Us (China) Limited, Chinese mainland
“The award competition motivates manufacturers to demonstrate their creativity in product design. Manufacturers should develop new products that can meet the market needs. As customers are getting more and more sophisticated, functionality, design and the use of materials are important elements that can attract them to buy your products.”
Eric Poon, Senior Department Manager, Sales Division, SOGO Hong Kong Co., Ltd., Hong Kong

 “With a business history of 52 years, Miniland is a toy manufacturer in Spain with Europe and North America being the major markets. This is our third-year participation in Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair to raise our profile in Asia. We’ve grown our business in this part of the world steadily over the past two years. We’re here again to promote our education toys and baby products. The responses have been fantastic and even better than last year’s. We’ve met with many buyers from different countries and regions such as Australia, Taiwan, the Chinese mainland, India, Peru and Mexico. Even buyers from the Middle East have approached us. We are particularly looking for distributors to extend our presence. It will usually take about two to three months to shortlist candidates and finalise deals with potential partners. We are now using Hong Kong as a strategic platform for business expansion and this fair has become one of the major trade events for us every year.”
Rosa Torres, Commercial Director, Miniland, S.A., Spain |

 “This is our debut exhibition at Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair. We are taking advantage of this international fair to launch our newly-developed toy gadget FreeKick that allows players to use mobile phones to control and play a soccer kicking game. Another highlight is our Axniper shooting game controlled by PC via USB. I’m deeply impressed by the exciting atmosphere here. The traffic of visitors has been excellent and we’ve generated very positive responses from international buyers. A large number of potential customers have expressed interest in our products and they include buyers from USA, Romania, Poland, Latvia, Hong Kong and the Chinese mainland. A buyer from the USA is especially keen to pursue ODM partnership with us. We’re very happy with the exhibition results and will certainly participate in the fair again.”
Bovis Chen, President, AXPRO Technology Inc., Taiwan |

 “In business for eight years, Savvykidz is a toy company based in the UK and we are looking to expand our presence into Africa. We are working with schools to provide educational toys in particular. This is my first visit to Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair. We are looking for toys that stimulate children’s thinking and creativity. I’ve got a few leads already in the first day of exhibition. I am now in touch with several potential suppliers from different places including Thailand, India and Hong Kong who have some good education toys on offer. I expect to conclude some contracts with them soon and the potential orders will be around US$50,000 at the start. The fair is great. The location of the exhibition centre is absolutely brilliant and the layout is good, making it easier to visit and focus on specific zones. The seminars offered a great opportunity to share knowledge and ideas. I will visit the fair again in future.”
Fola Komolafe, Director, Savvykidz, UK |

 “With 35 years of experience in manufacturing baby products, we started to produce car seats ten years ago and launched our AVIONAUT brand four years ago. Our main markets include the Chinese mainland and Europe. This is our first-time exhibition at the Hong Kong Baby Products Fair because we think Hong Kong is probably the best place for us to promote our brand to international buyers and to look for distributors. We have been busy meeting customers all day. We have found many potential distributors from Africa, Asia, North America and South America. It’s a good start. We’ll maintain our presence at this fair because we believe that it takes several years to build our brand here.”

 “CATALO carries more than 200 quality products, ranging from natural food supplements to organic foods, which are produced by cGMP and FDA certified manufacturing facilities. We take the advantage of our debut presence at this fair to showcase a variety of baby nutrition supplements to international buyers. The infant nutrition market is forecasted to be one of the fastest growing categories in the next five years, and our quality products will meet such market demand. After establishing a strong presence in the Hong Kong market, we are keen to develop the Asian market through this fair. We have met with serious buyers mainly from the Chinese mainland including large wholesalers and e-tailers, and we have also talked to potential buyers from other markets such as Africa and Korea.”
Patrick Liang, Assistant Business Development Manager, CATALO Natural Health Foods Ltd., Hong Kong |

 “We distribute a wide range of nursery products in Spain and Portugal. This is our fourth-time visit to the Hong Kong Baby Products Fair. We are happy to see that the quality of the fair is improving every year in terms of exhibits and venue decorations, making it a good place to do business. Nursery product suppliers are more willing to accept small orders like 500 or 1,000 pieces. Nowadays, consumers in our markets like to buy low-end products via online shops, but for premium products, they usually shop at physical stores. Just in the first morning of the fair, we have already found four potential suppliers from the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong for the supply of baby strollers, baby monitors and humidifiers. We’ll visit their factories before confirming our orders.”
Michiel Buenk, Owner, mimame, Spain |

 “Akachan Honpo operates 100 shops in Japan selling all kinds of baby products. This is my first visit to the Hong Kong Baby Products Fair. My colleagues visited this fair many times and successfully found business partners here. At this fair, I am looking for OEM manufacturers. So far, I have found some innovative designs for baby nasal aspirators and baby potties and I am also interested in night lights with thermometers and feeding products. Usually, we’ll place orders after the fair. If the products are suitable for our market, our first order will be about 10,000 pieces. I’ll come again next year because Hong Kong is Asia’s sourcing hub for baby products. Safety always comes first in our baby product market. Japanese consumers are willing to pay more if the products come with cute designs and special features. ”
