STATEMENTS:Sonnentor Kräuterhandels GmbH
from Austria was represented at
BioFach Japan 2012. Sonia Aigner,
Director Marketing and New Media,
and Johann Haas, Sales Director, are
extremely satisfied: “We felt we had even
more visitors on our stand at this year’s
BioFach Japan than in the past years.
Both retailers and online shops are
important for us in Japan. Since
Fukushima, the Japanese rely even
more on perfect quality and the organic
label now stands for the safe alternative
when it comes to food. We also met new
and existing distributors at BioFach
Japan and were able to discuss important aspects and strengthen our position at the
exhibition and over dinner in the evenings. The Japanese are a very grateful although critical
group of buyers. We with our long tradition of almost 25 years and our high quality standards
must convince them with an attractive presence. Being there personally is therefore a matter
of course, as our customers simply expect it. This time the Japanese showed their great
appreciation of our loyalty to the country in the last very difficult year.”
Rodrigues Hywel, Export Sales Manager at Arab Beverages
Est, Dubai, also sums up the event enthusiastically: “We have
exhibited at BioFach Japan for the first time and presented organic
juices. As we come from Dubai, we’re particularly dependent on
international business relationships. BioFach Japan is perfect for
setting up and expanding these relationships. In any case, the
Japanese market offers us tremendous potential, simply because
the Japanese are very health conscious and appreciate organic
products. Our plan for BioFach Japan 2013 is to show even more
presence at the exhibition!”
Massimo de Gregorio, winegrower
and Managing Director of Marchesi de
Gregorio, Sicily/Italy: “Our presence at
BioFach Japan 2012 could not have
been more successful. The people here
are very interested in organic wine. Good
for us! Why did we exhibit? We wanted
to be there at the event to strengthen the
personal relationships with our importers.
I think this is the most important aspect
for companies wanting to export to
Japan. We’ll definitely be there again if there’s an Italian pavilion in 2013.”
