One fashion exhibitor, Zhejiang Textiles Import & Export Group sales executive Cynthia Wang, said, ''We've been exporting to the Middle East and we wanted to increase the proportion of business in United States and Europe. At the show, while meeting buyers from these regions, we also learned the trends and their preferences, which helped us a lot in developing new items in future.''
Another exhibitor, Fujian Homebest Footwear & Garment General Manager Shannon Chen, said: ''We participated in the Fair's Fashion Parades and these enabled more buyers to recognize our company.''
Buyers, exhibitors and other VIPs attended Global Sources' 35th anniversary party at AsiaWorld-Expo on April 16. The event celebrated the company's long history of bringing Asia's quality manufacturers together to trade with international buyers.
Global Sources Chairman and CEO, Merle Hinrichs, said: ''After 35 years, our commitment to be the source of international trade success for our advertisers and quality buyer community is stronger than ever.''
