Korea Trade Show 2009 announces, KOREANNOVATION, a showcase of South Korean products, many shown in the U.S. for the first time, from May 12-13 at Penn Plaza Pavilion, NYC. See why, in this troubled economy, more and more U.S. manufacturers and distributors are turning to Korea as a reliable source for quality new commercial, beauty, electronics, and industrial products. Because of government support given these manufacturers by the South Korea Free Trade Agreement, buying directly from these companies offers the opportunity for retailers, distributors, and middlemen to maintain recession-friendlier margins. These Korean manufacturers offer reduced sourcing and production costs while maintaining the highest levels of quality, excellence in design, and innovation.

The show is free to the public, and trade and media are welcome. Product Categories for 2009: Green Building, Beauty, Home Goods, Commercial, Personal Care & Health, Toy, Home Care, Small Appliance products.

Over 500 products from over 50 companies will be on display making this a unique opportunity to check out some truly innovative products, most of which have never been seen in this country, and also to witness the overall quality of the products and the eagerness of these companies to do business in The United States, offering competitive margins made even more attractive by the support provided by The South Korea Free Trade Agreement.

Some of the unique items on display include Talky Talky, an oversized anthropomorphic pen that, with special books, speaks English as the pen goes over the words; NOSK - a tiny nose filters for us urban dwellers; LED Sparkle Boards where you can write with a water marker and it shines light-bright - perfect for restaurant or store windows; Micro-fiber Travel Towels that are tiny and dry super fast; UPS Uninterrupted Power Supply - compact emergency power supply; Glow In The Dark Socks, and more.

"Im rearing to go and ready to discuss possible manufacturing partnerships with these hungry innovative companies from Korea," said Larissa Van Duser, President of The Winthrop Group Inc. "This rough economy is the perfect time for buyers to take advantage of the positive trade relations between South Korea and the US. Korea is producing exceptional next-generation products at costs attractive to those, to be blunt, who are wishing to maintain their margins."

South Koreas new leader, President Lee Myung-bak, who has a business background, clearly sees the paramount importance of bolstering and cementing trade relations between South Korea and the US. "South Korea is ready and eager to further consolidate and build upon the traditional friendship with the United States," said Mr. Lee.

As a result of Mr. Lees forward thinking trade vision and South Koreas Free Trade Agreement with the US, prices at the Korea Trade Show 2009 will be favorable for buyers, as government support allows for price advantages and manufacturing discounts. "Our government is deregulating, which allows for lower corporate taxes which make South Korea a nation where foreign companies can invest and work easily," said Mr. Lee.
