“One of the reasons I am visiting the stationery event is to look to develop business with South Africa. The stationery market there is quite limited at the moment, and here I can find interesting products that would be new to them. I am particularly interested in the Japanese exhibitors, as well as the seminars on Japanese designs being held as part of the fair. The organisation of the event is excellent – it is very international. The Dragon Lounge is an amazing service for buyers.”

“I’ve been attending the stationery event for five years. You get a huge variety of exhibitors here, and I know that most of the products I want for the year can be sourced from this show. This year I’m looking for new ideas in children’s stationery, back-to-school items and school bags – if I have one criticism it is that the show could be longer than four days, because there is so much for me to see!”
Sudhir K. Gupta, Director, Santosh Exports (Overseas), India

“We have attended this event for several years, and we have been successful in meeting new buyers who have followed up with bulk orders. These include buyers from department stores from all over the world. Today we’ve already met with buyers from Japan, Australia and Singapore, for example. We will also be meeting with existing customers who we expect to place repeat orders with us.”
Christine Ma, Manager, Creative Premium Company Limited, Hong Kong
“We have expanded our collection from corporate paperclips to include stationery lines for offices and for fun use, so we are here to look for stationery buyers as well as premium customers. We’ve already had interest from buyers from Japan, Eastern Europe and the Middle East. The organisation of the show is always good – everything runs smoothly and professionally.”
