Foreo Global Travel Retail Director Gary Leong says Foreo and FAQ’s presence at the Hainan Expo is “bigger and better” this year

CHINA. Swedish beauty tech and wellbeing house Foreo, alongside sister anti-aging brand FAQ, is making a big statement at the China International Consumer Products Expo (Hainan Expo), which runs from 26-30 July.

Foreo and FAQ has teamed up with Hainan Development Holdings-owned GDF Plaza and Shenzhen Duty Free to showcase its lines at the Expo.

Both brands’ full ranges are being displayed in specially designed gondolas that give visitors the full Foreo and FAQ in-store experience.

The gondolas also educate visitors on the features and skincare benefits of both brands.

Foreo and FAQ also have a presence in the CNSC, Hainan Tourism Duty Free Shopping Complex and Zhuhai Duty Free pavilions. The latter is Foreo’s newest partner in Hainan.

“This year’s participation at the Hainan Expo is bound to be bigger and better than ever. With multiple partners on board to help us spread the word about our brand, we are poised for complete dominance of the event,” commented Foreo Global Travel Retail Director Gary Leong.

“It gives us great joy to be surrounded by supportive partners, as we would not have achieved our goal of being the number one cleansing device in China without them.”

Lim Guek Boon (Casey Lim), President of Global Consumer Boutique (Hainan) Trading Co Ltd, which operates GDF Plaza, added, “Being able to partner with such a reputable brand as Foreo lends strength and confidence to our own brand. Foreo has been an incredible partner to work with, and we look forward to growing together and experiencing great success together.”
