Hear What Exhibitors Say
 “The Korean Pavilion has been participating at the show for several years. We continuously return to the show because the Hong Kong international Stationery Fair is a platform for Korean SMEs to enter the Chinese market, as well as expanding their business in other Asian countries. Through my interactions with the exhibitors, I was pleased to learn that our exhibitors are happy with the results they’ve obtained on the first day. Since some of the exhibitors are new to the international arena, the show is a useful tool for promoting their brands. Our exhibitors have already met with two to three buyers from Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland. As always, the exhibition is well executed and is very systematic. I would most definitely recommend the show to more Korean companies who would like to expand their business outside Korea.”
Mr Yoon Say Jeong, Professor International Trade Department Dean, Global e-SCM Department Chairman, Korea GTEP Leader’s Council President, Korea
 "Our company is a Hong Kong brand and we aim at creating products that can enhance work efficiency. At the show we showcase our award winning Zcan+, which is the world’s first wireless scanner mouse, which can greatly help boost work efficiency. This is the second time we exhibit at Hong Kong International Stationery Fair. Founded in 2013, we are a new brand to the market and so we hope to increase our brand awareness to the market and to find more business opportunities. So far we’ve met distributors from overseas buying offices, such as from the Chinese mainland, India, Malaysia and Singapore. They are quite impressed with our new products and we’ve received useful contacts. We also have won the grand prize of “My Favourite Stationery 2015” and it is definitely helpful for us because this will increase buyers’ confidence in our products."
Ms Venus Wong, Marketing Manager, Systech Electronics Ltd, Hong Kong
 “We are one of the world’s leading envelope producers from Poland and this is our first year participating at the Hong Kong International Stationery Fair. We were able to meet with three potential clients who specialise in manufacturing greeting cards from Czech Republic and from the Chinese mainland. The upcoming trends within the region’s paper, stationery and office supplies products industry have got to be the development of more environmentally friendly products, especially for paper products.This is a very useful platform and we will not hesitate to recommend it to those who are looking to promote their stationery products to Asian countries and regions.”
Mr Wojciech Zukowski, Sales Director, WZ Eurocopert Sp. Z o.o., Poland |
Hear What Buyers Say
"We are a leading chain store for lifestyle products in Taiwan and 35% of our products are related to stationery. We are looking for fashionable and trendy stationery such as notebooks. We are especially interested in products with special and interesting functions, designs and styles. I’ve met one exhibitor from Taiwan, who specialises in notebook and post-it. I will place orders with them as I found their quality nice. Stationery products with good design and function may be expensive than other traditional products, but people are willing to spend more for them. The show is useful for us because this show’s offerings are quite close to our needs and our shop style. I would rank this fair as the top three trade fairs for stationery and office supplies sectors in Asia Pacific. Our company will definitely visit the show."
Mr Sky Wei, Vice President, Jing Shing Fa Co Ltd, Taiwan
"My company is one of the world’s largest office supplies retailers in the US. I exchanged over 30 name cards with the exhibitors at the fair where a majority of the contacts are from Hong Kong and the Chinese mainland. In additional to sourcing generic office equipment, I am also interested in learning more about green and environmental friendly products. For the Chinese mainland market, an increasing number of people are putting emphasis on products that are safe for their children as well as for the environment. I am particularly pleased with the business-matching service and are able to set over 20 appointments with potential suppliers."
Mr Xu Yan, Director, Executive Brand, Office Depot, the Chinese mainland |
