Hear What Exhibitors Say |

“We manufacture sphygmomanometers, stethoscopes and digital thermometers, and we have customers in Western Europe, Eastern Europe, the United States, Australia, South Africa and South America. This is our first time to participate in this event – our local government in the Chinese mainland sponsored us to join. Our goal here is to meet with quality buyers, including specialist wholesalers and importers. We’ve met buyers from a variety of markets, including France, Germany, Denmark and Singapore. It has been very encouraging as they have all been new to us – these are buyers we don’t encounter elsewhere, and I am confident that we will do business as a result. The facilities at the fair are fine, and we can get all the assistance we need from the staff.”
Anny Tse, Marketing Director, Golden Horse Medical Equipment (Wuxi) Co., Ltd., Chinese mainland
“We are a Hong Kong company licensed to manufacture the Canadian-developed Virgo MRI system, and distribute it in Asia. This is our first time to join this fair. We believe that this event will help us to expose our company to interested parties within the region, particularly in the Chinese mainland. Our MRI machine is very appropriate for the emerging markets as it is smaller in size and lower in price than others in the market. Asia is witnessing a dramatic upgrading of lifestyles as people become more health conscious. The organisation of this fair is very professional. We are very satisfied – we received a lot of information before the show about how to set up our booth and bring in all our equipment.”
Henry Hu, Chief Financial Officer, MTI Marketing (Asia) Limited, Hong Kong

“My company supplies medical products to hospitals and private sanatoriums in the Argentina market. We import a lot of the products and distribute them throughout the country and to neighbouring countries including Brazil. This is my first time at the fair – I was invited by HKTDC. I am very impressed with the service we have received from the organisation, including the translation service. I have seen some interesting things here, especially new developments shown at the booths belonging to various universities in Hong Kong. I expect to do business worth about US$50,000 as a result of my trip.”
Demian Donzis, Manager, Balphin Medical’s, Argentina
“We are a Russian-based distributor of a range of medical equipment for operating theatres, intensive care and anaesthesiology, plus we also have our own production of operating lights and lung ventilators. The medical market in Russia is growing, and products made in the Chinese mainland are very suitable for us. I have come to the show to look for new opportunities that we can bring to the Russian market. I’ve seen some very interesting items including silicon parts for use in ventilators, and a new technology involving LED alarms. This is a very good event.”
Alexander V. Sivachev, Development Director, MediKo, Russia
“We are a buying group and owner-operator with 25 share-holder members and 40 outlets throughout Australia. This is my first visit to this fair – we were invited by HKTDC and thought it would be worthwhile to take the opportunity to look for a range of products. We used the business matching service to identify potential suppliers in advance of the fair and this was very useful. The great thing about attending a fair like this, however, is also the other little opportunities that you spot as you walk around – we have found some niche products that are very interesting. We will definitely do business as a result of the visit.”
Lyn Walsh, Business Manager, Peak Care Equipment, Australia
