Hello, this is Juan C. Blanco, Invent-Tech’s Director of Product Licensing, checking in after a very successful Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association Show 2007 for Invent-Tech. Our company was proud to exhibit in this landmark event of the multi-million dollar juvenile products industry for the first time, and we were particularly pleased to be able to participate as associate members of the respected Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association.

The 3 day event, which took place April 23rd-25th in the South Hall of the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, offered Invent-Tech its first opportunity to network directly with a substantial number of manufacturers, marketers, and distributors specializing in the versatile world of children’s products. Companies with product lines ranging anywhere from children’s furniture to baby feeding devices were present and exhibiting, and many were receptive to speaking to Invent-Tech about the possibility of receiving new product ideas in the future.

Additionally, our personnel manning the Invent-Tech booth spoke to a number of company representatives that could prove to eventually be very valuable leads. Among these were the principals of two separate companies that combined, boast over 110 years in business in the juvenile products industry! Both individuals engaged in extensive discussions with members of our trade show contingent, and expressed a significant interest in beginning to review new product ideas from the Invent-Tech roster as soon as possible after learning more about the vast potential a relationship with Invent-Tech could hold.

Accordingly, our Manufacturer Response Team is already beginning the follow-up process with all companies met at the show that were deemed to be potentially viable candidates for our dynamic new product idea subscription service for manufacturers, Innovation Direct. As our relationships with these entities evolve, we will bring you all of the pertinent details on our Invent-Tech Network Blog.


Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association Show

April 23-25, 2007 - Orlando, FL at The Orange County Convention Center

 


The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association, Inc. (JPMA) is a national trade organization representing 95% of the $7.3 billion industry. JPMA, formed in 1962 with 29 industry companies, has grown to include more than 325 companies in the United States, Canada and Mexico. These companies manufacture and/or import infant products such as cribs, car seats, strollers, bedding, and a wide range of accessories and decorative items.

JPMA developed an extensive Certification Program to help guide parents and caregivers toward purchasing juvenile products that are built with safety in mind. Parents can look for the seal on product packaging.

To promote the safe use and selection of products for baby, JPMA publishes “Safe & Sound for Baby,” a brochure (available in English and in Spanish) which outlines safe product usage and safety measures for the home and car to help ensure baby's safety. JPMA has distributed more than three million of the complimentary brochures.

JPMA sponsors Baby Safety Month each September to raise the public's awareness of important baby safety issues.

Each year JPMA sponsors the International Juvenile Products Show, the industry's leading trade exhibition. The show, attended by thousands of buyers from around the world, is ranked one of the fifty largest association-sponsored trade shows in the country.
