 “We have been visiting the fair for many years. This is a good fair providing a nice platform to do business. Brentoni is an eyewear importer and wholesaler based in South Africa. In the first day of exhibition this year, we have already found three suitable exhibitors supplying reading glasses and sunglasses. This is one of the important optical fairs we attend every year. We can see everything about optical products at this fair, making it easier to get to know the latest trends and products available. The fair has the right atmosphere allowing for business discussions as well as social networking at the same time.”
Robert K. Beamish, Brentoni Distributors, South Africa
 “In business for 20 years, we are the biggest eyewear retailer in Greece. We currently operate 25 retail shops across the country and source products worldwide. I am visiting the fair for the first time with the focus on sunglasses and reading glasses. This is a very good fair and I am able to meet many exhibitors. I’ve found some interesting products with good design and available at competitive prices. An initial order of 1,000 pairs has been made with three suppliers from the Chinese mainland. We will examine the results after the first delivery and then explore future business development.”
Frank Sakellaridis, Owner, Anastasiadis Optica Stores, Greece

 “This is our first-time participation in HKTDC Hong Kong Optical Fair. We take advantage of this excellent platform to launch the French eyewear brand SHINA we represent to international buyers. Also highlighted here are the latest collections of our 3D glasses and low blue light glasses that can reduce blue light exposure to tablets and other electronic gadgets. We’ve received very good responses and met many customers from different places including USA, Canada and the Middle East. They have expressed strong interest in distributing our products. The fair is fantastic. HKTDC has provided very good support to raise our exposure and facilitate the launching party of our SHINA brand here.”
Bonnie Chan, Director, 3D Global (Holdings) Limited, Hong Kong
 “We have been participating in HKTDC Hong Kong Optical Fair for many years. This is a must-be trade event for us. This fair is very good and that’s why we continue to exhibit here to promote our polyamide materials for frames and lens. One of our highlights for this year is the purified lens resin, a bio-based and organic material green product line. Although we are very well-known internationally, we are still getting new customers through the fair. Last year, we even closed some deals immediately during the fair. But the focus is not only getting orders, but also meeting customers personally to enhance effective communication and mutual relationships. This is a very professional fair and also the most international exhibition for the optical industry in Asia.”
Ralf Hala, Global Business Manager Optics, EMS Grivory, Switzerland |
