Sales Manager
Aloha Medical Limited
Hong Kong
Aloha Medical Limited was established in 2019, specialising in the distribution of physiotherapy, rehabilitation, and nursing products. They are planning to expand their product range to include daily necessities, sports and fitness equipment, ergonomic chairs, travel goods, and more. Since 2020, Aloha Medical has been actively participating in exhibitions organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and has become a supplier on the hktdc.com Sourcing platform.
According to Sales Manager, King Chan, “Last year's exhibition successfully brought in around HK$120,000 in sales, which encouraged us to participate in this year's Home InStyle.” Regarding online promotion, the hktdc.com Sourcing platform has brought Aloha Medical buyer enquiries that they rarely encounter at exhibitions. Some buyers who initially connected at exhibitions have also used the platform to place repeat orders for the company's sports equipment. “We usually publish new product information on the platform in advance before participating in the exhibition, so buyers can preview our featured products. Recently, we've received enquiries from the United States, Southeast Asia, Mainland China, and other countries, which supports our long-term development in overseas markets.”
Shawn Lee
Chairman
Industrial Design Development Association of Taipei
Taiwan
As the Chairman of Industrial Design Development Association of Taipei (IDDAT), I am very happy to have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Industrial Designers Society of Hong Kong (IDSHK) and Macao Product Design Association (MOPDA) at this year’s Home InStyle. The HKTDC events such as Home InStyle and DesignInspire have served as a bridge to connect the three design associations in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. We share the common goals of promoting the design industry and arousing awareness of the importance and value of the design industry. After the MOU signing, the three design associations will help their members to participate in exhibitions held in these three places and exchange market information and new ideas. The three design associations will take turns to organise design workshops once every year for design university students. Separately, IDDAT has brought 15 design-driven Taiwanese brands to participate in this year’s Home InStyle. We expect more buyers will visit our pavilion because buyers from the Gifts & Premium Fair and Fashion InStyle will also be interested in our creative household products.

As an ISO-certified leading glass manufacturer in Pakistan, Tariq has the capacity to produce 300 tons of glass tableware per day. Our products are exported to 75 countries and regions. We are very happy to return to Home InStyle after the pandemic. The fair provides a perfect opportunity for us to expand our export markets because Home InStyle and the concurrent Gifts & Premium Fair attract a good mix of international buyers who come here to source both houseware and gift items. We have met with new buyers from Europe, the Middle East, South America and the US. The Click2Match platform has helped us to identify a potential buyer from Tunisia. We have already confirmed three onsite orders with buyers from Belgium, Ethiopia and the US. Many more potential orders are in the pipeline. We are expecting new orders worth more than US$500,000 from the fair. We’ll participate in the fair regularly. We hope to see more buyers coming from Africa which is a huge market for our glass tableware.

Backed by 292 bamboo product manufacturers in Shaowu, Shaowu Bamboo Cube was launched in 2023 as a regional public brand by Shaowu Municipal Government. To develop overseas markets and promote our brand, we are participating in Home InStyle. At this fair, we have established connections with 50-60 solid buyers from Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Korea, Mainland China, Taiwan and the US, indicating a strong demand for our bamboo products. A buyer from a famous catering chain in Taiwan plans to buy our disposable bamboo cutlery sets while a gift buyer from Beijing wants us to develop personalised bamboo gifts. A Korean buyer has shown great interest in our bamboo furniture and storage collections. We expect 5-10 buyers will place orders for our products after the fair and aim to achieve sales turnover of US$500,000. We’ll definitely maintain our presence in this fair. This time several trade fairs held concurrently can stimulate buyer traffic, encourage cross-sector exchanges and create new business opportunities.

We expect that we’ll receive new orders worth at least US$30,000 within four months after the fair. This is an amazing start and we need to maintain our presence in this fair.

Virag Trend Aruhaz Kft
Hungary
In business for 25 years, We are an importer and wholesaler of home decorations and flower pots, serving retailers, traders and florists in Hungary and its neighbouring countries. The Click2Match platform is effective in helping me to screen target suppliers for scheduling face-to-face meetings at the fair. After the meetings, I have identified three potential suppliers of home fragrance, aroma candles and metal flower pots from India and Mainland China. Aroma candles will be new items for our showroom while metal flower pots come with good quality and nice colours. I plan to close deals with these new suppliers after the fair and the total amount will be around US$20,000. The Scan2Match feature provides a new tool for me to bookmark favourite suppliers and keep in touch with them.

We are a wholesaler and retailer of household products made of glass, wood and metal in Germany. One of our clients is the biggest hypermarket chain in Europe. I visit Home InStyle regularly to look for new designs and new suppliers. At this year’s fair, I have found six potential suppliers of ceramic plates, Christmas ceramic cup sets, wooden photo frames, beverage dispensers, metal food containers and cocktail shakers. I plan to place orders worth US$90,000 with three to four new suppliers after the fair. It is a good idea for the HKTDC to host Home InStyle and the Gifts & Premium Fair concurrently in the same venue because I can meet more exhibitors and see more products. Scan2Match is easy to use and allows me to add my favourite suppliers in the HKTDC Marketplace app.

Dokkoi Japan currently operates six stores in Mexico, offering Japanese-style home and personal care products. We also sell tableware to Japanese restaurants in Mexico.

Through Click2Match meetings, I have found potential suppliers of umbrellas, water bottles, ceramic bottles, ceramic decorations, ceramic tableware, glass tea pots, cotton bags, non-woven bags and soccer ball souvenirs from India, Mainland China and Taiwan. I plan to close deals with two new suppliers for US$15,000 worth of umbrellas and cotton bags. I’ll visit their factories after this fair.

Royal Best currently has four stores across Taiwan, selling household products and gardening products, with an aim to enhancing the quality of living. This is my second time visiting Home InStyle. I was impressed by the home trends highlighted in the collaboration between the Cultural and Creative Avenue and Pantone. I connected with exhibitors from the Czech Republic, Taiwan, Hong Kong and more, and plan to make purchases of houseware products totalling US$50,000 to US$100,000 this year. I’m particularly interested in the Czech incense stick holder and look forward to future collaboration opportunities. Meanwhile, I’ll explore cooperation opportunities with some Taiwanese brands which are displayed in the pavilion set up by the Industrial Design Development Association of Taipei. I am also interested in sourcing eco-friendly packaging for my own brand. It is convenient for me to visit the Hong Kong International Printing & Packaging Fair and DeLuxe PrintPack Fair during my stay in Hong Kong because they are being held concurrently with Home InStyle.
