FIT SHOW 2016
MACHINERY EXPERTS
EXPERIENCE
DEMAND FROM
ALUMINIUM SECTOR
»»This year’s FIT Show was such
a success for Emmegi (UK) that
it has booked a stand almost
three times the size for the 2017
event.
The machinery specialist
will be right at the entrance to
Hall 7 when the show moves to
the NEC next year, and after a
fantastic response to its stand
in Telford, is confident that its
investment in one of the biggest
stands at the show will be more
than worthwhile.
Managing Director Ian Latimer
said: “We took orders at this
year’s show totalling more than
£500,000 for machining centres
and saws, which was really
impressive. The FIT Show is a
place where people clearly want
to do business and with even
more space next year, we’ll have
more room to exhibit additional
machines and more room to
allow customers to sit down with
us and discuss deals.
“We’ve been at every FIT
Show so far and, from our point
of view, the whole event is just
getting better and better. We
were delighted with the response
we had to our stand and
particularly with the number of
new leads we generated.
“There are also encouraging
signs that there will be even more
aluminium companies at the 2017
event, so we’re obviously backing
the efforts of the organisers
to make it as strong for the
aluminium sector as it clearly
already is for PVCu.”
BRINGING A TOUCH OF CLASS TO FIT
»»“I have no doubt I am not the only person
thinking that this year’s FIT show was the
busiest of the three,” Richard Kirman,
marketing manager of IG Doors Trade
Division commented.
”It was a truly fantastic show, based on the
desire of everybody once again to show how
great the industry is, and to give the installers
who work in it day in day out the products
and the tools to do their job and make sure
that consumer spend is in our sector and not
others.
“We took the opportunity not only to
show our products but to introduce fully
for the first time our Truedor Partner
Programme – a completely bespoke service
to support each of our customers on an
individual basis. It was incredibly well
received, and we now know for sure that
what we have is something the industry
really wants.
“The interest in the Truedor Partner
Programme was fantastic, it shows us we
have come up with a concept with the
installer market understands and values,
and it can only be a good thing for those
who major on selling composite doors.
“It also shows more than ever, that
product alone – no matter how good it is – is
not enough; outstanding customer support
is now an integral part of any offering.
“It was also great to be able to invite our
product ambassador George Clarke to our
stand and to the show, and he brought a
real touch of class to proceedings and was
genuinely interested in what the FIT Show
offered.” Richards added.
