On August 31, one of the largest international fairs of amber products ended in Gdansk, Poland. Despite the fact that this time there were half as many participants as in the spring fair, it was the most successful for the Ukrainian group of companies Amber Galbin.
"Amberif is an international exhibition of amber products and jewelry that takes place twice a year in Gdansk. Manufacturers of jewelry and souvenirs from different countries of Europe and the world gather in the spacious Amberexpo hall for several days.
And this is a great achievement, says its co-founder Oleg Bogelsky. After all, Amber Galbyn enterprises are the first Ukrainian miners and producers to present raw materials and amber products at such an event.
"This year and in recent years, the number of those exhibiting their products at Amberif has been decreasing, as well as the number of visitors. This can be attributed to the stagnation of the European amber market, as the center of trade is moving to China, the Middle East and other new markets. But this exhibition, although small, was very productive for us. We found new international partners who declared their desire to cooperate with us."
At the exhibition, Amber Galbin presented raw materials and products in different price categories.
The guests were most interested in raw materials.
The military-themed products were of particular interest: models of tanks, bayonets, cannons, and airplanes. The guests were also interested in rosaries, bracelets, necklaces, jewelry and other souvenirs.
In general, the Amber Galbin Group of Companies showed more than fifty items different products.
"A European check is up to 500 euros. This is the maximum amount that buyers can freely spend. Therefore, the European market is not for expensive products, which we have mostly presented, but for products of a lower price category. Our products are more likely for the Middle East, maybe Asia, maybe India," said Pavlo Bondar, director of Burprom.
Thus, Ukrainian raw materials are in demand in Europe. The Amber Galbin Group will continue to supply raw materials there. At the same time, the company's executives plan to introduce its products to the Middle Eastern market.
To this end, they will take part in an exhibition to be held in Dubai in two months.
