Visitors were extremely satisfied with the convenient onsite services, such as the VIP lounge and overseas visitors' lounge, shuttle buses between halls, etc.

"It's been four years since Chicco exhibited at the 8th CBME in 2008. We are deeply impressed with the buyers' quality, the huge flow rate, and the realisation of the rapid, positive and energetic development of the baby industry in China." said a representative of Chicco.

"It's the first time we have exhibited at CBME. We identified many clients, and we haven't made a final decision about who our partners will be. CBME is a great platform for Joovy to develop in China." said a representative of Joovy.

"We have successfully moved forward with a supplier who's going to manufacture for us." said a French buyer.

CBME is committed to creating more value for all of the exhibitors and trade visitors. It's a convenient and cost-effective way for trade visitors to find quality, attractive products and to meet targeted suppliers.
