HONG KONG, November 30, 2007 – Alibaba.com (1688.HK), the world's number one online marketplace for international trade, organized a private sourcing event on November 15 for international retailer Woolworths Limited. Themed “Partnership and Prosperity with Woolworths Limited", the Woolworths China Sourcing Event was attended by over 100 suppliers from a wide range of industries, including fashion and apparel, footwear, toys, sports, plastic products, gardening, DIY, electrical appliances, electronics, gifts and homeware, stationery, holiday products and supermarket supplies.

 

Staged at the Landmark Hotel in Shenzhen, China, the Woolworths China Sourcing Event introduced the Australian retail giant to many new potential suppliers and provided an additional marketing channel for Alibaba.com’s Gold Supplier members, premium export-oriented suppliers from China and Hong Kong. Participating suppliers met with 13 buying representatives from Woolworths to discuss business opportunities in nine major product categories.

 

"The Woolworths China Sourcing Event was a great success," said Ian McDonald, General Manager of Global Sourcing, Woolworths Limited in Australia and New Zealand. “It allowed the Woolworths sourcing team to meet many quality new suppliers. Alibaba was very professional in its preparation and management of the day, leveraging its extensive knowledge of quality suppliers to target the right companies to meet our long-term sourcing needs."

 

"We appreciate the pre-event work and research the Alibaba team did to identify prospective suppliers for us," added Jerry Chan, Managing Director of Woolworths China / HK Procurement Ltd. "We are very happy with the end result and we look forward to collaborating on more events with Alibaba.com in the future."

 

"We are pleased to help connect quality suppliers with a well known international retailer like Woolworths," said Kenneth Liu, Vice President of Global Operations, Alibaba.com. "Alibaba.com operates an online marketplace but we also understand the need for face-to-face interaction among trading partners. Private sourcing events are one way to facilitate this. We also attend trade shows, run training seminars and hold networking events which bring together our members around the world."
