What did buyers say? (1) Mrs. Georgia Ronyai, Director, Aranypok, Budapest I’m glad to see the first Hong Kong solo exhibition in Budapest. Hong Kong products are getting better and better. We placed order here since the products are so nice. We’ve been working with Hong Kong companies for long time. I’d like to visit Hong Kong’s trade fair in future so that I can source more Hong Kong products. (2) Mr. Bela Balogh, MD, Erste Firma, Budapest I have been in the business for 15 years and have three retail shops in Budapest. I have been to Hong Kong. The products from Hong Kong are so beautiful. I’m glad to know there is a Hong Kong exhibition in town and I am here to buy jewellery without traveling a long way to Asia. (3) Gabor Pinter, Auditor, Skygate Transport, Budapest I like the show very much. It’s a good idea to have Hong Kong companies to show their best products in Budapest. We don’t need to travel long way to Hong Kong to source products in the region. I think Hungary and Hong Kong companies can co-operate more in the logistics sector in future.
