Our products, which are assembled in Vietnam from Korean-made materials, are mainly aimed at the souvenir market. This is our first time at this event – we made the decision to attend because we know it attracts many international customers. Even on the first morning of the show, the halls were packed with buyers from South America, the US, Germany, Japan, Indonesia and India, for example, and I am sure we will do good business. Our major markets are in North America and Europe, where the souvenir market for quality products is the biggest, and while we are particularly keen to meet new contacts from there, we are happy to meet potential customers from all over the world. I appreciate the service provided by HKTDC – for example, we supplied them with the design for our booth and they put it together for us perfectly. The service we receive here is excellent.
Jean W Kim, President, Olympia Industrial Co., Ltd., Korea
Hape has been taking part in this show since 2004. It is a very famous fair and as such it is a good platform for us to launch our new products every year. Hong Kong is an international city and attracts many different kinds of customers. We spend a lot of time and effort on this event. We specialise in wooden toys under our own Hape brand; in 2007 we launched our bamboo toys, aimed at the growing eco market. Our biggest markets are in the US and Europe, but we are increasing sales in Asia, including the mainland China, Japan, Korea and Australia. We mainly focus on chain stores and big supermarkets, but we are also keen to meet wholesalers that have retail networks. Our sales staff here at the fair specialise in different geographic markets – and I have to say that they have all been very busy with buyers since the fair opened its doors!
Andrew Ng, Regional Manager (HK), Hape International (Hong Kong) Limited, Hong Kong
Specialising in educational toys, we have been participating in this exhibition for more than 15 years. We export our products to over 100 countries and regions, with Western Europe and the US being our mature markets, so we are targeting buyers from emerging markets such as Asia, Eastern Europe, South America and the Middle East. And we are happy that we have already met new and potential buyers from emerging markets in different regions. The exhibition serves as an important platform for us to attract new buyers and launch new products because it is international and buyers come from every part of the world. Buyers’ responses have been very good so far and they are particularly interested in our microscopes, digital products and solar-powered toy cars.

We are a Canadian toy importer that distributes toys to retailers such as supermarkets and chain stores. I am particularly looking for wood puzzles, mechanical puzzles and jigsaws. I have been visiting this event for four years. It has been easy and convenient for me to find what I want, because the show is well-organised and all the products are categorised. I have found interesting puzzles here and I will follow up with the suppliers after the event.
Allan Stein, President, Puzzle Master, Canada
This is my first visit to this show in Hong Kong; I want to expand the range of toys that I distribute in Venezuela. I know that many of the big toy distributors in the Venezuelan market have been coming here for many years, so I thought it was about time I joined them! I’m particularly looking for dolls, model cars and ride-on toys. Even though it is a long way to travel from South America, it is worth it because this is a fantastic show. I have seen several interesting products and before I leave I expect to place orders worth around US$500,000. The HKTDC does a really good job here – the staff have really helped by giving me a lot of information in advance.
Carlos Arturo Munoz Mata, Manager/Buyer, Tamanaco C.A., Venezuela
