Exhibitor Comments

"This is the first time we have exhibited at FOODEX JAPAN. It's the first time we had an Ireland Pavilion. We think it's a great opportunity to be at FOODEX JAPAN because this is where all the top buyers come to. We want to introduce a range of quality seafood products to the Japanese customers that currently don't sell in Japan. So we feel FOODEX JAPAN is actually the place to do this. And in advance of this, we've sent out a mailer to a lot of Japanese buyers so we will have a very busy stand and a lot of buyers to visit the stand."

"Japan is known for its large food market, and the Thai government has participated in FOODEX JAPAN for 18 years. Thai cuisine is unique, and we are here to promote Thai tastes in Japan. Although Thai cuisine has become popular in Japan in recent years, there are many more food, ingredients and herbs that have not reached the Japanese market. We are here to introduce them.
Last year we made around US$10 million worth of deals during the fair, but we still haven't got an exact figure for this year. Responses have been good so far, and we've had new customers."

"FOODEX JAPAN allows smaller Canadian companies to get greater exposure to the Japanese industry. Number of visitors of this show - buyers of retail, hotel, restaurant - the excellent number of visitors gives Canadian companies an opportunity to see potential customers from across Japan at one location."

"Getting substantial international exposure here at FOODEX JAPAN allows new business opportunities. This year, regional breweries have gathered here as a group, each promoting their own local flavor. FOODEX JAPAN has given us the opportunity to promote Japanese sake with its distinct locality to overseas visitors. "

"This is the 2nd time we are Participating in Inchem Tokyo. We handle sealing products, have 45 subsidiaries, and recently opened an office in Tokyo. The Burgmann name is well known in Germany but not yet in Japan. This Show is ideal in spreading Burgmann’s name in Japan and a major chance to meet end-users. After the show, we will take the take time to sum everything up, distinguish visitors by category , both by type and position held, and by sector of activity (i.e. maintenance, other.)"

"I've personally been to this exhibition seven times and it's been a good experience every time. This was a great way for us to get our foot in the door to the Japanese market. Our main objective in exhibiting here is to maintain brand awareness here in Japan. We are selective in our clientele and we want to attract the best customers. Coming here under the assistance of BC Woods offers us uncomplicated setup preparation and helps identify us to potential customers."

"Whenever we decide to venture into a new market we always use trade shows. For Winters, trade shows are the single most effective, key marketing tool. We generally participate in two trade shows annually in Asia. This year, we wanted to give Winters maximum exposure and visibility in the Japanese market and to achieve this, we chose to exhibit at Inchem. Inchem has a reputation for being the best attended show of its kind, both from the stand point of exhibitors and the quality of visitors. The show is very focused and just the right size. Many of our competitors already present in the Japanese market choose to exhibit at Inchem, which means we should be here too..."

"We exhibited at the previous edition of the Japan Stone Fair and were delighted with the results. We made some very good contacts during the show, which later lead to new business. Undeniably, the Japanese market presents a huge potential and we are determined to continue using this show to reinforce our position in this market. We decided to participate at the Japan Stone Fair International this year and come even better prepared this time to take full advantage of the show. We have had our company brochures and business cards translated into Japanese to make our company information more accessible to domestic visitors at the show. We feel this is being received very well as visitors feel more confident entering the stand and asking for more details. Of course, the cultural and language gap make it difficult - at times - to communicate, but when there is an interest on both sides, there is always a way to make it happen. By making our product and company information available in Japanese, we made ourselves more accessible and had a great response. This is only the first day of the show, and we are already very pleased with the outcome so far."
