Quotes from exhibitors in 2016
Tomas Sundström, Head of department, COWI:
“It was all go at our stand. We’re an engineering consultancy with some 6,500 employees, spread through 100 or so countries. Our services include the project management and design of process plant. We met a lot of potential clients at the fair, and I’m absolutely certain that we’ll be back in 2018.”
Andreas Christoffersen, Sales Manager, Metso Sweden:
“It definitely ticked all the boxes. It’s the second time we’ve exhibited at Process Technology, and we’re more than pleased. This time we’ve showcased our Flow Control Division – automated valves and slurry pumps, etc, primarily for the mining industry. We had lots of visitors and made heaps of new customer contacts. In short, the event gave us more than we expected.”
Michael Mjörnestål, Sales Manager, ÅF-Industry:
“We’re Sweden’s biggest engineering company, and we’ve exhibited Process Technology lots of times, in various work constellations. This is a great place to be at. And this year’s fair was no exception.”
Malin Jagmark, Logistics Manager, Alnab Armatur:
“Definitely positive! We are specialists in valves, gas analysis and actuators. One product that attracted many visitors to the stand was a DBBV (Double Bloc & Bleed Valve), a tight-seal unit, consisting of two stop valves and a bleed valve, which can be used in refineries and harbours to avoid contamination. We had many visitors, many rewarding conversations in the stand and lots of leads to work on.”
Martin Olsson, Product Specialist, ProMinent Doserteknik:
“Good, better than the last fair! Virtually all the visitors who came to our stand at Process Technology were high quality. We dose chemicals to different types of processes. At the fair, we often establish contacts that start with a question. Maybe something about the stricter environmental stipulations. And these questions often lead to new relationships – business contacts we probably wouldn’t have established via the internet.”
Erik Malmborg, Board Member, Matarvattensektionen 1987:
“We are a non-profit making, common interest group. Our 120 member companies took part in Process Technology to create interest and disseminate knowledge about feed water matters in industrial processes. Our primary purpose was to show that we exist, and that we offer advice and education. We had many rewarding conversations at the fair, both with visitors and exhibitors.”
And visitors’ impressions...
Ulf Ekman (Swedec, sales)
“I’m here to meet new contacts and to get some inspiration. I also want to learn new things; you can never know everything there is to know in this business.”
Bengt Larsson (Nitator stainless AB, CEO)
“There are lots of interesting things here. We’ve actually found a pickling bath for the workshop we are going to set up.”
Farshid Farej (Hunterdouglas assembly AB, programmer)
“I’m here primarily to find suppliers, mainly in motor management. I’ve found a lot of ‘possibles’ and the fair has definitely got me interested.”
Anders Åström (AGA gas AB, sales)
“I’m mainly interested in gas analysis instruments. But I’ve found a lot of new stuff that seems interesting and I can definitely see myself spending money on it. I’ve also made a lot of good, new contacts.”
Anders Englund (Sterners specialfabrik AB, purchasing)
“The fair is good if you have an idea that you want to turn into reality, or if you have a problem you need to solve.”
Elvind Ottosson (Elpro Alingsås AB, CEO)
“The best thing about the fair is the diversity. Most makes are on show, and all the new stuff is often shown here first. On top of which, the fair is very important for establishing new contacts and meeting customers.”
Hanna Eriksson (AB Sandvik coromant, purchasing)
“We meet our suppliers here because many of the ones we already deal with are exhibiting here. And it’s enjoyable meeting them here at the fair.”
