Stephen Heusz, organiser of the events said that Multicam were very excited by the response and attendances that they had at the expos.

“Visitors were eager and willing to attend and interact with us at these expos. The lack of trade shows in the past may have had something to do with this, however we also feel that many companies are looking to build on their capabilities and enhance their appeal and the services that they can offer.” said Stephen. “Being able to see a variety of machines in action, and talk with our representatives and technicians, also presented a unique opportunity.” he added.

Stephen said that “The support we received from StripLox, who made generous contributions of their patented jointing system, Carbi-Tool and Sutton Tools, who offered very generous discounts and incentives on their range of tooling, and NC Tools, aided in making the events extremely successful. We also provided incentives on our range of machinery and then sweetened the deal by presenting visiting companies with a carton of their favourite beer.” ❚
