AUSTRIA WKO A Rare Gem: The Exclusive Advantage Austria PEZ Mascot at China Connect 2024

Recently, European PEZ collectors 

were thrilled with the release of the 

new red-white-red 

"I Love Austria"

 PEZ mascot.

Today, we’re introducing another 

dispenser from the "I Love Austria" 

edition, but we’re torn between excitement

 and a touch of sadness.

To explain, let’s take a brief detour.

ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA 

is part of the Austrian Chamber of Commerce, 

operating over 100 offices in 

more than 70 countries. 

They provide a wide range of intelligence and

 business development services to Austrian 

companies and their international partners.

After years of preparation, PEZ officially entered 

the Chinese market in 2019, a key region 

for the brand’s growth. 

You may recall the grand opening of the 

PEZ shop in Shanghai

 (here).

So, how does PEZ connect with 

Advantage Austria and China?

It’s simple.

From October 24-26, 2024, 

Advantage Austria Hong Kong is hosting

 the Austria China Connect Conference, 

the largest gathering for the Austrian 

business community in China, 

held in Hong Kong. 

PEZ is proudly supporting this event alongside

 other Austrian companies as an event partner.

Super Rare, Advantage Austria red-white-red PEZ mascot.

And, as a special gesture, 

PEZ has created something unique: 

the red-white-red PEZ mascot, 

now featuring the Advantage Austria logo 

on the stem, is included as a special 

gift in the event's goody bags.

Thank you Advantage HK for the pictures, Danke :)

Now, for the part that brings us a bit of sadness, 

only a few hundred of these dispensers 

were produced exclusively for this event. 

This means it will likely be challenging 

(if not impossible) for collectors to get their hands on one.

But never say never! :)

We wish all attendees of the Austria

 China Connect event a successful

 and memorable experience!

And who knows, perhaps there 

will be a couple of extra goody bags 

for a giveaway on the blog. 

What do you think, Advantage Austria HK? ;)

Hört ihr uns Advantage Austria :)

Happy Collecting!
