Hear What Exhibitors Say |

 "There are over 10 exhibitors joining the Taiwan pavilion this year. I noticed the fair is improving every year. The visitor flow is good, many of them are from overseas, which proves that this fair to be one of the most international platforms within the industry. The fair plays an important role for the industry as it is held in the beginning of the year and so it is regarded as the industry’s trendsetter. I am very positive and confident about the stationery market. I believe high-tech and multi-functional products will get more attention. We will continue to support for the fair."
Mr Donald Mai, Secretary General, Taiwan Association of Stationery Industries, Taiwan
 "This is our fourth time exhibiting here at the show. Our products are designed and produced in Taiwan and we specialise in multi-functional stationery for household and office use. In this year’s show, we highlight our brand new product: smart tray, which can be used for placing small things such as keys and coins. It can also be used for standing iPads which is especially useful for watching movie.Our company targets mainly the overseas markets and I am satisfied with the result. We met buyers from South Asia and Europe and I am happy that some of them come from famous department stores and chain stores, which are actually our target buyers. The fair helps us generate useful business leads and I look forward to exhibiting at the next edition!
"
Ms Lucy Chan, General Manager, Interlink Enterprise Co., Ltd., Taiwan
 "We are a newcomer to the show and would like to introduce our newly-launched fine art set, which was elected as the Best Christmas Gift by a famous online portal for motherhood called Sassymama. Also, January is an optimum month for us to launch our product. At the show we are looking for overseas book chain stores as well as educational toy distributors. I am happy that I’ve met our target visitors from Singapore, USA and Australia. In addition, other visitors from Taiwan, Dubai, the Chinese mainland and Korea also came to our booth. I am satisfied with the visitor flow and most of them are industry players. I am happy that we generated useful contacts and also able to get to know some overseas journalists. I think Korean and Japanese markets appreciate fine art more than the other Asian markets. This show attracts many visitors from these two markets. I also appreciate that the organisers also made effort in organising other fringe events such as the “My Favourite Stationery 2015”. The event helps arouse market attention to our products. We will exhibit at the show again!"

Hear What Buyers Say |

 "This is my first time visiting the fair and I am looking for trendy, high quality stationary and licensing products, such as leather notebook, metal pens and more. I think the quality of the exhibitors at the fair are very good. I have met 12 exhibitors that I am really interested in working with. Some of them are from Hong Kong, the Chinese mainland, Korea and Greece. I think the role of Hong Kong International Stationery Fair is significant to the industry. It is also very international and has successfully gathered important industry players from around the world. Not only I can source what I need here, I can also meet competitors and know more about the market trends. Stationary market has great demand of more trendy, lifestyle products. In Thailand in particular, customers are now more interested in fancy, re-designed products rather than basic, simple one. I am very satisfied with the visit this year and will definitely come again next year."
Ms Sudrak Chambundabongse (left), Vice President – Merchandising, B2S Company Limited, Thailand
“Our company is one of the world’s largest retailers for stationery, gifts and sporting goods and this is our first time visiting the show. We are here primarily to source “DIY stationery” as well as stationery products with more unique and personalised designs. We have connected with over 12 exhibitors from Taiwan, Korea and Hong Kong where their products interested us most while at the same time fulfilled our sourcing requirements. Overall, we are pleased with the quality of both the exhibitors and their products. We particularly treasure the opportunity to have face-to-face meeting with various stationery suppliers worldwide which has created many potential business leads for us. We would not hesitate to come back again for future editions of the show.”
Ms Joyce Chen, Manager, Jin Yuh Tarng, Taiwan |
