On the basis of Paperworld Frankfurt as the leading international trade fair for paper, stationery and office supplies, the Paperworld brand has developed into a global network that brings together demand and supply in a precise and purposeful way – and this benefits both exhibitors and visitors. In 2001, the Hong Kong International Stationery Fair laid the foundation stone for the success of the Paperworld brand outside Germany. It was followed in 2005 by Paperworld China in Shanghai.
