"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.
