“This is the third year we exhibit here. Since 2008, we determined to expand our business beyond mainland China to Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Malaysia. As one of the leading Chinese herbal companies, we are much desired to promote Chinese culture of healthcare and maintaining healthy life to the global population. Therefore, we promote the ideology and the culture of healthcare to the visitors as we wholeheartedly want to bring benefits to them. This fair is a top-tier platform for Chinese-Western exchange in culture and technology, and brings us a lot of quality buyers and industry professionals.”

Harry Yeung, Senior Vice President, LKK Health Products Group

“We specialise in the plantation and breeding of idiomatical medical herbs, abstraction of active ingredient and production of biological products, and export our products to worldwide markets through trading companies. We participate in the ICMCM for the first time as we would like to meet with more international quality buyers and directly promote our special products to targeted buyers through this platform. Though it is the first morning, I have already had a fruitful discussion with a potential buyer and showcased our product samples to him. I trust this expo will give us promising result.”
He Li, Manager, Jiangkou Miao Medicine Biological Science & Technology Co., Ltd, Chinese mainland

“We have participated in this fair for the seventh year and we still find it attractive and international. Our Department has gained full support from the local government for representing Jilin companies to exhibit their best products at the fair. This year a total of 15 companies joined us to showcase Jilin’s products. We recognise that it takes time for Jilin-branded products to attain worldwide recognition and therefore we choose Hong Kong as a window to reach international buyers. Our targeted buyers are mainly Southeast Asia and other developing countries such as Africa and South America. Thanks to HKTDC Dalian Office and its headquarter in Hong Kong for their good coordination and great organisation throughout all these years.”
Wang Zizhong, Director, Department of Commerce Jilin Province, Chinese mainland

“We provide testing and authentication for a variety of products such as Chinese medicine, nutritious food, fabrics, cosmetics as well as factory production line. We have been very busy during this fair period as many international buyers enquire us to conduct testing of the products or factory line of the exhibiting companies to ensure the quality and credibility while they are sourcing the Chinese herbs. Other exhibitors are also interested in us as they want to be certified suppliers.  We have joined this fair for 10 years now and the reason is because ICMCM is a professional and targeted trade show.”

Miranda Li, Senior Manager, Healthcare & Cosmetics Services, SGS Hong Kong Ltd, Hong Kong

“There are six pharmaceutical companies in Sichuan and we are the only one which is allowed to produce Chinese medicine. Hong Kong is one of our sales regions and we are expanding our business in Hong Kong and other countries in Asia Pacific region including Australia. Nowadays, Chinese medicine is going through internationalisation and modernisation. Our company has the advantage on cutting-edge research and development, which can produce quality products to meet customers’ needs. The result is quite good in these few days. We have received many name cards from Singapore and Southeast Asia region.”

Dongmei Wang, Deputy General Manager (Trade), Sichuan Neo-Pharmaceutical Technology Development Co., Ltd., Chinese mainland

“Our main products are Chinese medicine and healthy products. We have participated in this fair since 2008. Through this platform, we are able to find the right distributors for our products. We are also open to the public as we believe general public is interested in our healthy products. Therefore, this fair is good for us to showcase our medicine and products as it is open to both trade and public communities.”

“It is the first time to participate in this fair to understand the market situation and expand our business. We are trading processed health products which are suitable for middle to old age groups. We have already had distributors in Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand as well as direct sales in the USA. The fair has brought international quality buyers to us. We will definitely join next year.”

Xu Gu, Vice General Manager, Jiangsu Alphay International Trade Co., Ltd., Chinese mainland

“We recognise Hong Kong as a gateway to the Chinese mainland, and hope to find agencies in Hong Kong, Macau, and other cities in the Chinese mainland in this fair. The response is good and we are fully satisfied with the business result.  Thanks to HKTDC’s Taiwan office, they offer great help in introducing our products to the VIPs when they came to our booth in the first morning. In addition, I also have the opportunity to make presentation in one of the seminars which highly helps us to gain awareness of the visiting buyers. Through networking activities, I have expanded my network with the regional industry counterparts. This fair is professional with quality buyers.”

Jen-Pin Chen, Direct General, Pingtung Agricultural Biotechnology Park

“We have participated in this expo for 5-6 years. We mainly offer R&D for corporate and institutions through our international and regional networks. ICMCM is more industry specific than other fairs of this kind. It is a good platform for us to meet with potential customers and partners. We also develop good business relationships in this fair.  We are very happy with HKTDC’s arrangement on bringing the VIP tours from Taiwan and Jiangsu to our booth so that we can demonstrate our strengths. Through this fair, we have greatly expanded our network.”

Eddie Ching, Manager, Life Science/Biotech Marketing & Admission, Hong Kong Science & Technology Parks Cooperation

“Having exhibited for 5 years in ICMCM, our main goal for this year is to gather more information about buyers’ feedback and understand the current market. We represent a lot of big brands of Japanese medicine. Hong Kong is one of our main export markets and most of our brands are well known to many people here. As the market has become so competitive and we are planning to launch new products and large promotional campaign with CRC pharmaceutical, therefore information from buyers and the public are important to us. ICMCM is a good platform for us to have better communication with buyers and the public. We are fully satisfied with the expo’s organisation and the visitors’ feedback.”

Ryuta Fujii, President, Ryukakusan Co., Ltd., Japan

“We are the retailer of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in Sweden and this is the reason we travel all the way to Hong Kong to attend this expo. We are looking for Chinese suppliers to buy in quality TCM. This fair has given us a good opportunity to meet with quality suppliers and we have already found a couple of targeted suppliers in the first morning. I find it worthwhile to come here.”
Marlene Lundren, Vice Director, Halsokuren Halsocenter, Sweden

“I am looking for high-end, healthy organic food for my start-up catering company in Korea. I am impressed with so many Chinese-based companies which sell healthy products and herbs. Some of the products such as organic beans interest me. I will make good use of this opportunity to get new ideas and find the right products for my company.”
An Kyung Mi, Founder, Healing Food, Korea

“We are the biggest chain retailer with 1,200 pharmacies and we also operate 50 hospitals in India. Our suppliers are the major international paramedical companies and we come to ICMCM for sourcing herbs, medicine and medical equipment from Chinese companies as their price is more competitive. We also want to understand other healthy food and beverage products such as ginseng and green tea, and explore possibilities of trading and import. I am impressed with the product varieties and the excellent product quality. We will definitely come again next year.”

“As a professor and clinical doctor, I am looking for Chinese herbs and medicine which are now very popular in Korea. This show is very well organised and I am impressed by HKTDC’s professional communication with and arrangement for the visitors.  The suppliers in this fair are of high quality and I have already had fruitful discussions with a potential partners. I will come here again next year.”

“My company produces Chinese medicine granules and powder for 65 years. Eighty percent are distributed domestically and the rest is exported to Japan, Malaysia, and the USA. Our annual turnover reaches NT$200 million. This is my first time to attend this fair and I want to search for mainland OEM to reduce our production cost. Apart from that, I see Hong Kong as a place opened to R&D, so I come to this fair to understand the market and gather more information. Next year, I will not only be interested in coming again but also want to join as an exhibitor!”

“We are a listed company which applies Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) in our quality control system covering the manufacture and testing of pharmaceuticals. As the production cost is surging, including that of resources, processing, and packing, I am looking for opportunities for cooperation with the right industry partners and agencies. I can see a variety of exhibitors in this show and it helps me to source different contacts. I have just had solid discussions with a few potential ones.”

“I have retail business in India and travel around to look for massage equipment. I come to Hong Kong this time to source more economical and quality equipment from Chinese suppliers in particular. There is a number of exhibitors showcasing their massage products and demonstrating their products’ functionality to us. While we are still collecting contacts, we are considering liaising with some of the potential suppliers.”

“Our company is one of the leading accredited pharmaceutical agencies in Singapore and our business has been very successful for 20 years. We represent a range of pharmaceutical products and health supplements imported from countries such as New Zealand and the USA and then sell to hospitals and department stores. Our sales cover across Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Hong Kong and we have plans to go to mainland China. We attend ICMCM to source new TCM products and then sell them in Southeast Asia. The fair is well-organised and has a good turnout. As a visiting buyer, I truly appreciate HKTDC’s professional service since their response time to my queries is fairly quick, which helps a lot for my travel arrangement. I am keen to come here again and be an exhibitor.”

“This is my first time to Hong Kong and I am looking for Chinese medicine, herbal supplements and medical equipment. Chinese medicine is getting acceptance and popular in European countries and I hope to explore more by visiting this expo. There are lots of Chinese pharmaceutical suppliers from which I can search for quality herbal medicine. I hope I will make the most of this trip to buy in some excellent Chinese medicine for my clinic.”

“I am searching for health supplement and also looking for OEM suppliers, particularly those from Chinese mainland, Japan and Korea, for our slim beauty business. This fair is industry-focused and the suppliers are credible. I am still looking around and expect to see and have solid discussion with more suppliers from Asia pacific region.”
