Exhibitor Comments from 2007
Naeem Patel, Director, Alternative Coding Solutions
“Being a relative new supplier we needed additional exposure, which we have achieved through exhibiting at Propak Africa. We have received a lot of interest from visitors, now potential customers.”
Theresa Bezuidenhout, Marketing Manager, Afcom GE Hudson
“We view all visitors as potential customers and Propak Africa gave us the opportunity to cross sell our product range and identify new leads of those new customers. We were very busy and there were good quality visitors attending.”
Bruce Beswick, Director, Beswick Machinery
“Good stands by major suppliers attracted a lot of quality visitors to Print Expo 2007. We met existing and new customers and sales were made from our stand.”
Mark Smith, Director, Ultrapack/Crystal Power
“Being manufacturers of plastic bottles, and caps we attracted over 140 top quality visitors with 75 enquiries expected to generate roughly R250 000 per month of additional business. This is the industry’s leading show and is well worth the money, providing you don’t go crazy building a stand.”
