Remarks of exhibitors

More than 90% exhibitors are stationery manufacturers that provide products to the international market. Their main purpose of participating in expo is to get in touch with more international buyers, and to broaden the export channels. China Ningbo Stationery Expo has provided a very good platform for them, in that they can not only find many potential clients but also obtain a large number of orders on the spot.

“It is within our expectation that China Ningbo Stationery Expo has attracted many international buyers. Therefore, we have prepared brand-new products that boast competitive advantages all over the world. In the past, our products were mainly exported to USA, Europe and Japan. In this expo, we have contacted many merchants from Southeast Asia and the Middle-east as well as lots of foreign trade companies. In the first two days of the expo, we have signed some contracts for purchase with several foreign trade companies from Singapore, United Arab Republic, Saudi Arab, Taiwan and Ningbo, which total to 400,000 USD (1,500,000 RMB),” said Wu Chuangfu, business director as well as principal on the spot of Konglong Co., Ltd. (“Yilaili” stationery), “we seldom participate in the domestic expo, but we have ordered six booths in this expo, and we plan to take part in the next expo.”

“We have met about 100 new clients from America, Europe, Japan and South Korea in the expo, and have signed orders totaling to almost 500,000 USD on the spot. We are extremely satisfied!” You Chongguan, vice general manager of Ningbo Xingwei Plastic Product Co., Ltd (the biggest stationery cutter manufacturer in China), said with delight, “we think China Ningbo Stationery Expo is the most professional and distinctive one in China.”
