After an absence of a number of years I was delighted with the quality and quantity of leads from a diversity of industries. The Gambica Pavilion was

a good focal point to show our drives and I would be happy to exhibit in 2016 with a bigger stand in the Pavilion.Steve Takhar, Managing director, Vacon Drives

I was impressed with the number of visitors to our stand over thethree days. We have had genuine enquiries and the exhibition hasgrown into a showcase for our industry. We have already booked

our stand for 2016.John Attenborough, Director and general manager, Marelli UK

A great exhibition for Gates—we were able to combine our PowerTransmission and Fluid Power ranges on one stand. Our new

product launches—Delta V Belts and hydraulic adaptors—createdmuch interest from a steady stream of high-quality visitors.

Christopher Garety, Marketing & product management director,Gates Industrial Europe

We were very pleased with the enquiries received at the show.They were sharply up on the level we achieved in 2012, and alsoabove our target and expectations. Perhaps it reflects the post-recession climate, but we saw a large number of companies with

totally new business.Geoff Spear, Marketing manager, Lenze

Despite the problems on the roads, we took 50% more enquirieson the first day of the show than at the previous event.

Carl Krajewski, Managing director, HMK

It’s been the best UK exhibition we’ve ever had in terms of leadsand quality. There was a positive level of optimism in the hall.
