INCORPORATING COLD CHAIN
“ We really enjoyed the opportunity to once again be able to come together and network with our suppliers and run into people we have not seen for quite some time .” – Douglas Scott , mechanical engineer at HCM .
“ The show was very busy for us . While we had more staff than in previous shows , it still felt like we couldn ’ t keep up . The result , apart from sore feet , was that we gathered solid leads that will give us good business . This year ’ s show was better than the last show we attended , which we were surprised at given the circumstances .” - Bianca Boshoff , marketing and communications specialist at A-Gas South Africa .
“ The show was positive for us both in terms of seeing our existing customers face-to-face and being able to catch up after the past two years , as well as meeting new potential customers . We also introduced a number of new innovations at the show , and it proved to be the perfect platform to do this , generating lots of interest some of which may translate into business for us down the line .” - Daniel de Beer , regional manager , sub-Saharan Africa at Emerson Climate Technologies South Africa .
“ Awareness and exposure were our two focus areas coming into the show but it delivered so much more through quality conversations with a high-quality visitor . Overall it was a very positive experience for us .” - Coenrad Ehlers , national assets manager at Energy Partners Refrigeration .
