SOUTHERN MANUFACTURING & ELECTRONICS 2007
Exhibitor quotes
FEBRUARY 7TH & 8TH 2007
Variohm Eurosensor: Sensors and transducers for all parameters
“The first day was the busiest I’ve ever seen the show and I’ve been to many. It delivered an impressive number of quality sales leads. The second day, in spite of the adverse weather conditions, generated even more sales leads. Clearly those who braved the weather were serious players with real requirements.”
Pat Goodridge, Sales
Multipix Imaging: Automated machine vision systems
“In the first hour we had about ten visitors who had specifically come to find out more about the vision systems they had read about in the show preview. That was an excellent start and the level of interest continued throughout the show. Enquiries came from a wide range of industries including food processing, packaging, and electronics assembly & inspection. Many were companies that you would not expect to visit a specialist vision show; this meant we were tapping into whole new raft of potential business prospects. That’s why we came here and it worked.”
Lynne Potter, Marketing
WDS: Standard parts and machine accessories
“An exhibition is not just about meeting new companies, it’s also about developing new contacts in existing customers. Today, we spoke to the UK arm of an existing customer in Italy. This will undoubtedly open up some very promising new business opportunities.”
Robert Stephen, Sales Engineer
Floyd Automatic Tooling: A wide range of tooling for turned parts
“As a supplier of tooling predominantly used to produce turned parts, we clearly serve a very precisely defined niche market. For us, many of the subcontractors and manufacturers exhibiting here are potential or existing customers. That gives us a flying start. Factor in the many leads from visitors and it all adds up to a very worthwhile event.”
Eric Chamberlain, Director
Europac Metrology: Portable laser scanning
“This is the first time we have exhibited our 3D laser scanning. It’s been completely hectic; the first break we had was late in the afternoon on the last day. Interest has ranged from medical manufacturers looking to produce tailored prosthetics & joints to engineering designers, injection moulders & toolmakers looking to convert non-geometric, aesthetically designed free-form shaped prototypes and models to machine code. There is simply no other way we could have created so much face-to-face interest in just two days
John Beckett, Managing Director
SSAB Dobel Coated Steel: Coated steel stockholder and processor
“I look for one or two good long term sales from a show. I will leave here with over 10 qualified leads. Six of these have an identified immediate requirement. These include companies that are seriously interested in our plastic laminated steel that has the same corrosion resistant properties as stainless steel, but costs a massive 70% less. That’s an excellent result.
Peter Carle, Sales and Marketing Director
Qualitetch Components: Thin gauge metal components
“As a seasoned ETES regional show exhibitor, we know what to expect and were not disappointed. We will leave with 45 plus qualified sales leads. The irony is, over-enthusiastic weather reporters not withstanding, we logged more enquiries on the snow-bound second day than the first!!!
Alexander Craig, Managing Director
Anglo Production Processes: Capital equipment, materials and consumables
“After a very busy two days, at close of play on the last day one visitor asked could I make a factory visit at 7.30 am the next morning in South Wales!! There was some very significant business behind the enquiry and it was obviously immediate. When a show generates that strength of enquiry, I’ll travel anywhere at anytime!!”
Gerald Rutter, UK Sales Manager
Mifa Aluminium: Precision aluminium extrusions in low volumes
“Weather aside, it has been an outstanding show. We’ve been talking with many potential customers with real requirements. Their ears really prick up when they realise we can extrude bespoke batches as small as 10 kg.”
Ivo Van Galen, Sales Engineer
Muffet Gears: Precision gear boxes and transmission systems
“The diversity of enquiries is impressive; these range from manufacturers of gear systems for steam turbines to yacht winches. We have even opened up dialogue with a company who is looking to put together educational kits for colleges and universities. All in all, an excellent show.”
Alan Kennard, Senior Production Engineer
Daleba Printed Circuits: 1 to 16 layer and metal-backed PCB’s
“This is our first time exhibiting at Southern Manufacturing & Electronics. We leave with some very good enquiries but, more important, we have made some significant appointments for the next few weeks. When prospective customers have seen what you do, then ask you to come and see them it’s about as good as a sales lead can get. This won’t be our last show.”
Gareth Smith, Area Sales Manager
Panduit: Wire management systems
“Our range of sophisticated harness and wire management systems are targeted at the higher volume users. It will be several months before we can gauge how successful the show has been, but it’s fair to say we have been speaking to the right level of person from the right type of company. All the signs are that the show will deliver what we want.”
Sylvia Sielicka, Marketing
Perancea: Enclosures and instrument case design and manufacture
“I have been pleasantly surprised by the number of electronic and instrument design engineers I have spoken to. These are our primary target when it comes getting our enclosures incorporated into new product designs. Get the designer on board and you’re more than half way there! The show has enabled us to do just that.”
Peter Hendrick, Director
O F Bell: Precision miniature injection mouldings and tooling design
“The adverse weather had very little impact on enquiry levels. At a time when the Organisers would have had a cast-iron excuse for not performing to standard, the show has only enhanced its reputation for delivering quality sales leads with real business opportunities behind them – that’s quite an achievement,”
Mark Beard, Director
