Domestic exhibitors meanwhile agreed the move to Shanghai was the right thing to do. “The quality of domestic exhibitors here is better because more of them are focused on exports to Europe, the US and Japan,” explained Leo Chan, Deputy Director of Sales & Marketing, Huafu Top Dyed Melange Yarn Co Ltd.

Exhibitors note continued demand for premium products

With mixed economic news coming out of China over the last year, exhibitors were pleased to discover that the demand for quality overseas products had not diminished. “We are focused on the mid-high and high-end markets in China and sales are growing fast here.
