“We are a retailer and importer in Germany, now expanding into other countries in Eastern Europe. Fairs in Hong Kong attract a lot more manufacturers than other events, which makes them important to us. I've placed orders here worth US$100,000.”
Reiner Heemken, Buyer, Nanu-Nana Einkaufs - Und Verwaltungs GMBH, Germany
“I always come to this fair to look for new suppliers for a wide range of products. We operate about 45 outlets in Dubai, Oman and Qatar. At the stationery event, I'm looking for school bags, lunch boxes, and paper products - among the interesting things I've seen are licensed bags. I also take advantage to visit the other three shows and together will place orders worth about US$220,000. Trade fairs are my main sourcing channel.”
Devidas Chhatani, Chief Operating Officer, Gift and Sports, Toys and Riders, Stationery, Al Safeer Group of Companies LLC, UAE

“We have recently expanded into a new category of innovative silicone-based stationery items called Sticky Station and are keen to work with retailers and sourcing offices, which is why we are here for the first time. We attend other HKTDC fairs, and we know that they do a good job to bring in international buyers who are looking for new items.”
Daniel Chun, General Manager, Silicone Zone Limited, Hong Kong
“This was one of the first fairs that we ever attended and we keep returning because we see strong buyers here – they are very serious about what they want to source. We’ve enjoyed plenty of good enquires this year – there are lots of buyers from Japan and Korea in particular, plus many from Europe as well as the Middle East and India. We have built up a good relationship with the fair organisers and we can trust that they will work with us to ensure a good fair. Plus we have an awesome booth!”
