“This is the fourth year we’ve participated in Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair to promote Colemoi and our education toys and learning materials. The results have been very encouraging. We’ve met many international customers again including buyers from UK, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, Indonesia and the Chinese mainland. I’m quite positive a UK buyer will place orders soon. We’ve also got hold with some Hong Kong companies to explore the possibility of distributing our products in Hong Kong. Established in 2010, Colemoi designs and produces educational toys and learning materials for kindergartens as well as therapy toys for children with special needs. The fair’s Therapy Toys display also features our product. Demand for therapy toys is definitely growing and the display area offers an extra channel to increase our exposure. This fair really helps our expansion in Asia and we’ve lifted our image further to grow business and attract international customers.”
Jean-Michel Huit, General Manager, Colemoi, France |

“Founded in 1983, EDUSHAPE is a leading toy manufacturer in Israel. We provide a wide range of products such as items for infants and toddlers, construction blocks, water play products as well as puzzles and games. At present, USA and Europe are our biggest markets and we are taking advantage of Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair to expand our sales in Asia. We’ve got positive feedback from many buyers including those from Japan, the Chinese mainland, Korea, Indonesia, Italy, Germany, USA and Brazil. This marks a good start for business development and further negotiation will take place to finalise deals. Some buyers are prepared to make orders. We will definitely participate in the fair next year and plan to take up a bigger-sized booth to expand our profile.”
Gil Mintz, Sales & Marketing Director, EDUSHAPE, Israel |

Key Buyers are Here! Hear What Buyers Say |

“Hobby Express has been visiting Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair for years to source products. But this is my first visit to Hong Kong and this exhibition. I’m very impressed with the scale of the fair. The buyers’ meetings have proven to be very useful, helping me identify potential suppliers. In business for 50 years, Hobby Express is a leading importer and distributor of hobby products in the USA. Our products are selling to different markets worldwide including USA, UK, Australia and Canada. I focus on sourcing radio-controlled toys, hobby products and science toys this year. So far, I’ve already found 20 to 30 potential items. Some of the products have not yet been distributed in the USA before. I’m pleased that I’ve got some new product lines coming on stream. We will examine the samples’ quality and choose about 10 to 15 products in the end. Initial orders will be worth about US$30,000 involving different suppliers from the Chinese mainland.”
Kurt Cleveland, President, Hobby Express, USA |

“Interdidak designs and produces educational games and school equipment for kindergartens under the brand of Akros in Spain. This is our first-ever visit to Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair to find new suppliers. The fair is bigger than our expectation offering a lot of choices. We found it very interesting and rewarding. We’ve already got in touch with nearly 20 potential suppliers from the Chinese mainland in the first two days of exhibition. We will discuss further and conclude deals for six to seven items such as games for children with special needs and educational products. We plan to place initial orders for 1,000-3,000 pieces per item to test responses first. Our company will launch at least 15 new products in the coming year and this fair offers an excellent sourcing opportunity for us. We’re happy we’ve found what we’re looking for. There’s a lot of innovation and new ideas here and we will visit the fair again.”
Nina Sedneva, Manager, Sales Department, Interdidak, S.L., Spain |

“In business for 80 years, Lucky Industry is a family-run manufacturer of baby carriers in Japan. Apart from selling domestically, we started our export business two years ago. Our products are now sold in 20 countries and regions through our distributors. Since the Hong Kong fair is more international than other similar fairs in the region, we have joined this fair for the first time to look for distributors for our untapped markets such as the Middle East, Thailand and Vietnam. So far, we have met with new buyers from the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Thailand. More than 10 buyers are interested in placing orders for our baby carriers and six-layered blankets. We’ll come back next year because the Hong Kong fair is a great place for us to find potential buyers.”
Hiroyuki Higuchi, President, Lucky Industry Co., Ltd, Japan |

“Designed in Spain, our car seats come with nice designs and good quality. We have participated in the Brand Name Gallery at the Hong Kong Baby Products Fair for four consecutive years. It’s a good place for us to meet with international buyers and to promote our brand. The fair is also the first event in the calendar year, allowing us to showcase new designs to worldwide buyers at the beginning of the year. Buyers including those from Asia, Europe and the US are very interested in our car seats especially our new collection which is designed and made in Spain. We see huge potential in our business because people care more about the safety of their children. For sure, we’ll exhibit at the Hong Kong fair again next year.”
Ibon Maza, Director of Communications, Plasticos Zarauz SA, Spain |

“We started to distribute a wide range of baby products to 30 retailers in the Philippines in 2008. It’s not until 2011 that we opened our own shop. It’s my first-time visit to a baby product fair. I hope to expand my product offerings and also bring in more branded products to meet the needs of consumers in the Philippines. Meanwhile, I am going to launch my own brand, so I am looking for OEM manufacturers. I found six interesting suppliers that offer feeding products, beddings as well as health and safety products such as play mats. It’s likely that I’ll place orders for their products after the fair. The fair provides a great opportunity for me to see the actual products and meet with suppliers as I usually do online sourcing. The trip is very useful and fruitful. I’ll definitely visit the fair again.”
Lyn Marie O. Lu, Business Development Manager, baby&beyond, the Philippines |

“Andys is a wholesaler and distributor of baby products under European brands, with the Czech Republic and Slovakia as our main markets. As branding is important in our markets, we are planning to launch our brand by 2016. That’s why we have come to the Hong Kong Baby Products Fair for the first time to look for OEM manufacturers. We have found lots of good products here. We are particularly interested in neck pillows, play mats, changing bags and plush toys for strollers. So far, we have identified about 10 potential OEM manufacturers from the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong. We’ll have further discussions with them after the fair.”
