For buyers looking for new and exciting ideas, there’s plenty on offer at this year’s HKTDC Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair. As Asia’s largest and the world’s second largest toy industry event, the fair brings about 2,000 quality exhibitors from 38 countries and regions.

The Product Demo & Launch Pad offers companies a superb chance to give buyers a close up view of their products in action. Two exhibitors took their turn at Hall 1 Oasis yesterday afternoon, and drew a good crowd of interested onlookers.

“I am the owner of a toy agency, and I work with a number of toys companies in Germany. I’ve been coming to this fair for 26 years – it is one of the two most important shows of its kind in the world. I come here to look for new items that I can recommend to my customers, who will then follow up with orders. The organisation of this show is very good.”
Achim Garnitz, Owner, Martin Weiss, Germany
“My company supplies cartons and toys to fast-food companies, cinemas and theme parks for children’s meals. Every year, I need to find 10 new and interesting toy products. I’ve been visiting this show for about 10 years because it is a good place for us with many exhibitors. It is a very professional fair with good organisation and facilities. I spend three days visiting all the halls, then on the final day I will place orders.”
Henri de Jong, Director, De Jong Disposables, Netherlands

“We not only maintain good relationships with existing buyers by attending this important show, but we also meet new customers. The quality of the buyers is very good here. Many of our existing customers place orders at the fair – this year we are finding that some are placing 10 times the quantity they planned, so we are expecting a good year. We’re also seeing more buyers from emerging economies, such as Brazil, Russia, Eastern Europe and India, and they are buying more than ever before.”
Salley Sze, VP, General Manager, Eastcolight (Hong Kong) Limited, Hong Kong
“This is a very helpful fair for our company’s marketing strategy, which is why we have been attending it for many years. It is a key industry event where we can approach new buyers from markets around the world – for example this year we are targeting South America in particular, because it is an important growth area for us. Of course, we also keep in touch with our existing client base here, too.”
James Lim, Director, COG Limited, Hong Kong
