Toy Expo strengths its positioning |
As
the largest toy expo in Mainland China, the 7th
China Toy Expo (CTE) will be held in Shanghai on
October 9-11th, 2008. Different from other toy fairs
in the world, CTE plays a key role of LINKING
YOUR BUSINESS TO CHINA. It gives international
manufacturers access to the booming Chinese market.
On the other hand, the fair is also designed for
professional buyers who want to source directly
from competitive toy factories in China. In 2008,
CTE's positioning is highlighted again. Up to now,
we have international brands from over 18 countries
and regions. Also the export-oriented factories
came from 25 toy production regions all around China,
covering all kinds of toys, hobby products and baby
articles.
