Tools and Products for Home and Garden from the Far East

Asia-Pacific Sourcing 2025: Cologne – About

APS remains Europe’s No.1 sourcing platform.

500 exhibiting companies from 13 countries and around 4,500 trade visitors from over 80 countries participated in Asia-Pacific Sourcing 2023.

Hence, APS offered buyers from Europe and America – especially considering the current geopolitical situation – a unique opportunity to access the Asiatic offer and establish valuable business contacts to the Far East. For the first time, the product portfolio of the trade fair was enhanced with items from the automotive and sanitary segments.

The event is a separate platform presenting Asian products from the house and garden sector. The aim is to link product ranges from Asian growth markets with the growing demand in Europe and North America, all in a concentrated format in Cologne. This trade fair is scheduled to be held every two years, serving as a multi-lateral hub for the import and export business. Asia-Pacific Sourcing is the ordering and communication platform for products, innovations and trends for the house and garden segment.

Its parallelism to the IAW – International Trade Fair for Retail Promotions and Import will bring a prosperous benefit for visitors and exhibitors.

Koelnmesse react with individual security concepts

Koelnmesse is paying very serious attention to the tense worldwide security situation and to the concerns of its guests, exhibitors and visitors. It is reacting to these concerns by implementing individual security concepts and cooperating even more closely with the security forces and the authorities in connection with its events.

We closely coordinate the security concept for our events, including Asia-Pacific Sourcing, with the responsible authorities. These measures include visual inspections and spot checks of baggage taken into the exhibition grounds. The control measures are adjustable and can be adapted at short notice after consultations with the security forces.

In order to avoid waiting times, we request that you leave at home any baggage that is not absolutely necessary for your visit to the trade fair.
