Yoshinobu Nisaka (right), Governor of Wakayama Prefecture and Sophia Chong, Assistant Executive Director of HKTDC tour the fairground to understand more about the fair and the Japan Pavilion at Hall 3E.
“Wakayama is the top production base for wood processing, furniture, houseware and lacquerware industries in Japan, with around 170 companies registered in our prefecture. To help these companies to find promising buyers from all over the world, we select overseas exhibitions which are relevant to the industries in Wakayama. We are glad to have the Wakayama Pavilion again at the Hong Kong Houseware Fair, which is the best show of its kind in Asia in terms of exhibitor number and also one of the most successful exhibitions in the world. The houseware products offered by our exhibitors are user-friendly and reflect Japanese traditional taste. In fact, Wakayama Prefecture and the HKTDC signed a Memorandum of Understanding in Hong Kong in July 2013, and since then, we have been exhibiting not only at the Hong Kong Houseware Fair but also in the Food Expo, the Hong Kong International Wine & Spirits Fair and the Hong Kong Book Fair. All in all, I am very satisfied with the results and the services provided by the HKTDC.” Yoshinobu Nisaka, Governor, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan

“Dafi specialises in the development and production of water filters. This is our first year at the Hong Kong Houseware Fair to showcase our water filters including standard water filters, alkaline water filters, anticalc water filters and magnesium water filters and to look for distributors. Apart from promoting our Dafi brand, we also do private labels. We have met with new buyers from the Chinese mainland, Europe, North America and South America who are very interested in our water filters. About 80 per cent of them are keen to be our distributors while the rest want to buy our products for their private labels. We are happy with the results so far. We’ll return to the fair next year and want to have a bigger booth.” Filip Makόwka, Sales Director, Dafi Market SA, Poland (Booth: 1D-D21)

We started our export business six years ago by joining the Hong Kong International Lighting Fair and the Hong Kong Gifts and Premium Fair. Due to unfavourable economic situation in our overseas markets, we stopped our export business. This is our first time participation in the Hong Kong Houseware Fair to restart our export business. We have received good responses from buyers. We have been busy meeting with a lot of new customers from Australia, France, New Zealand, Norway, South America and the US who are very interested in our designs.

A distributor from the US also approached us and expressed an interest in carrying the brand. The fair offers a good chance for us to raise the brand's profile and to grow our presence in general.

Eight potential customers from Hong Kong, Canada, Mexico and Italy have demonstrated serious interest and we will provide pricing details for their consideration. They will also send us their specific requirements so we will discuss further to build relationships. This fair is a good place to reach out to more international customers. We are positive about the exhibition results.” Larry Wang, General Manager, Glory (Nantong) Import & Export Co., Ltd, Chinese mainland (Booth: 3B-A01)

“Rinco Bonington is engaged in the distribution of home textiles including bedding sets, pillows and cushions to major department stores in Singapore. We started our own boutique business four years ago to bring in more interesting items. Today, we are running four retail shops with a fifth outlet coming on stream. I am visiting Hong Kong Furnishings and Textiles Fair for the first time to find new sourcing opportunities. There is so much to see here. I’ve established contacts with nearly 20 exhibitors and shortlisted five potential suppliers from India for towels and curtains. They are offering flexible MOQ requirements and that really facilitates business development. We will gather more information about their product designs and place some trial orders. If everything works out well, we will place up to US$100,000 worth of orders each with the new suppliers. This visit is a great experience. I’m deeply impressed by the products displayed here and the business matching meetings arranged by the organiser proved to be very useful.” Irene Loh, Executive Director, Rinco Bonington (S) Pte Ltd, Singapore
“T.S. Gen is operating a chain of more than 20 retail shops selling mattresses, bed linens and pillows under the brand of Ventry. At present, we are sourcing products from suppliers from the Chinese mainland, Taiwan, Indonesia and Thailand. I am visiting Hong Kong International Furnishings and Textiles Fair for the first time. This is a very interesting fair. I’ve established many new contacts and collected a lot of catalogues. So far, I’ve found about 20 potential suppliers for various products such as bed linens, pillows and sheets. The concurrent Hong Kong Houseware Fair also offers something appealing like fragrance sets, stylist bedroom decors and bathroom gadgets. I will get some product samples to test the quality and discuss further with the suppliers to build relationships. I expect to place total orders worth between HK$600,000 and HK$1 million upon successful negotiations. The fair offers a diversity of products that can really help our business expansion.” Charatpong Chotigavanich, Vice President of Marketing, T.S. Gen Co., Ltd., Thailand
