“We are a retail organisation with 10 shops – last year we increased business by 30% mainly by focusing on branded products. I come to this fair to look for new toys products, especially with an educational element. Parents in Bulgaria are increasingly concerned with safety, and they are also buying more toys for infants now. I’ve already placed orders for 10 containers of products at the fair this week. I think this fair gets better and better every year, and the organisation of the halls make life easy for us to find what we want.”
Marian Kolev, General Manager, Hippoland Ltd., Bulgaria
“We supply around 2,000 customers in Poland with cards and gifts, including items for children which is why I wanted to attend the toy show. This is my second time here to look for new exhibitors and I've definitely found some interesting items. I really appreciate the good organisation of the fair - everyone is very helpful. I can also take the opportunity to look for other suppliers at the related stationery and licensing events.”
Darek Majewski, CEO, Passion Cards SP. Z O.O., Poland

“We’ve been exhibiting at this show for many years but this is the first time we’ve taken part in the Brand Name Gallery. This helps us as our main purpose for participating in the fair is to increase awareness in the market and let buyers know about our various brands and attract new customers. This fair is good because here we can meet multi-country buyers, especially from Europe and Asia.”
Irene Tang, Sales and Marketing Executive, Kader Industrial Company Limited, Hong Kong
“This is one of the most important toys fairs in the world. Hong Kong is an international city and all the big toys buyers from around the world attend this event every year. Through this show we keep in contact with our customers, as well as launching our new product ranges.”
