Plumbing ’ s Travelling Exhibitions ( PTE ) has put together their programme for 2025 – and it promises to be exciting .
PTE enjoyed a busy year last year , with its signature orange and yellow tents popping up across various venues in South Africa . As the PTE crew gets ready for 2025 , there are many more places to visit and more plumbers to reach with the latest technology , innovations , products and services .
This year , for the first time , PTE is taking its show to the Garden Route with dates in Knysna and George in August . Also a first , the show will be landing in Kathu , Northern Cape .
“ We ’ ve always strived to bring PTE to where the plumber is ,” says PTE organiser , Sean Macnamara . “ Often , plumbers who are not located in urban hubs miss out on what ’ s new and exciting in the industry . We want to inform and educate plumbers across the country and give suppliers and manufacturers the opportunity to reach their target audience directly .”
Visitors register as they arrive .
As plumbers , you know that time is money and it ’ s so easy to get busy with building your client base that you neglect broadening your knowledge and skills – and networking . While it may seem like you are giving up a few hours of work , you are in fact adding to and investing in the education of yourselves and your teams , getting an opportunity to actually handle new technologies that serve your industry and get to chat to suppliers , manufacturers and service providers directly . You can ask them your questions , discuss your ideas and get feedback on troubleshooting .
