03 Maison Ferrand B2 / 2-Z6 Who are you? Maison Ferrand is one of the world’s leading independent producers of premium spirits, dedicated to crafting authentic, high- quality products. Founded by Alexandre Gabriel in 1989, the company has built a strong reputation for its expertise in cognac, rum and gin, with iconic brands such as Ferrand Cognac, Planteray Rum and Citadelle Gin. Who buys your products? Our products are enjoyed by consumers around the world who value high-quality, characterful spirits with an unmistakable taste. In travel retail, we specifically engage with international travellers, ranging from knowledgeable enthusiasts to more curious consumers seeking discovery. Why exhibit now? TFWA Asia Pacific Exhibition & Conference represents a strategic platform for Maison Ferrand to accelerate its presence in one of the most dynamic regions for travel retail. Asia Pacific is a key growth market for premium spirits, with increasing demand for high- quality products. What are your objectives? At its core, this is about building real, lasting relationships in a region we believe in deeply. We want to grow our presence across Asia Pacific travel retail, not just in terms of listings, but in terms of how travellers experience and connect with our brands. What is your USP? We are growers, distillers and blenders, cultivating our own raw materials, mastering fermentation and distillation, and constantly experimenting to develop new aromatic profiles. Each creation is an opportunity to push boundaries. Inspired by the past, we shape the spirits of tomorrow. Guided by creativity and a strong sense of community, we don’t follow trends, we define them, crafting spirits that leave a lasting impression. 04 CONNETIX&My Creative Box L1 / 1-L22 Who are you? CONNETIX, under parent company Brave Toys, is the innovative Australian brand at the heart of open-ended STEAM construction play. Alongside CONNETIX, Brave Toys also brings My Creative Box to travel retail – an award-winning range of craft and activity kits developed with early childhood experts to support key developmental skills through engaging, hands-on play. Who buys your products? Our products are primarily purchased by parents, grandparents and gift-givers seeking high-quality, educational toys that inspire creativity and learning while fostering connection. We also see strong engagement from educators and increasingly from older builders and ‘kidults’, particularly with our more advanced ranges like our CONNETIX PRO line. Why exhibit now? As CONNETIX continues to grow globally and expand its product range, travel retail has become an increasingly relevant channel for the brand. Our products align strongly with the premium gifting and family-focused nature of this environment, particularly with the introduction of more portable offerings such as our new Travel Mini Pack and PRO Build It sets, all of which come in a travel-ready tin. What are your objectives? Our primary objective is to build and strengthen relationships with travel retailers, airports and distribution partners across the globe. What is your USP? A key benefit and USP of our ranges is their longevity – these are not gifts with a short shelf life. Thoughtfully designed to grow with children, they offer years of meaningful play and become something families return to and treasure long after they’re received. Here, we highlight a selection of the leading brands that are either debuting at TFWA Asia Pacific Exhibition & Conference this year or returning after an absence.
