Participants’ feedback:

Yana Fentsel, technical assistant at KAMI Group (Krasnoyarsk):

– Every year we participate in ExpoDrev and we are definitely going to carry on this tradition. This time we exhibited our machine-tools, one of which was demonstrated in action at our booth. This is very attractive factor for attendees, so we were managed to find a buyer for one of the machines. We are grateful to the organizers for the work done.

Amir Karychev, representative of Weinig Gruppe in Siberian region (Tomsk):

- For 15 years we have been working in West Siberia with the German manufacturer. Krasnoyarsk region joined us in April, so this time it was kind of a study participation in the trade show. We got very positive impression. On the first day we made some contracts. Next year we will likely participate in the trade show.

Andrei Kolobov, Director of OOO ROTOR (Krasnoyarsk):

– This is the first time we take part in this trade show. Our goal was to show customers and colleagues that we were committed to enter the logging machinery market for long, and also to establish new contact, what we managed to do. We exhibited three pieces of equipment including a unique combi-machine that can replace three heavy machines. That was of great interest to the attendees. I can say that our first time at the expo was more than effective. Next year we will demonstrate our service centre and a number of machines that can be purchased right at the exposition.

Huang Yiming, Director of Millennium bagel (Beijing) Exhibition Company (China):

– This is my first visit to Krasnoyarsk, and I like it very much. This is very modern and future-oriented city with a high level of urban development. I think that we will continue our cooperation in the future. The main goal of our companies was to demonstrate our brands in order to enter the Russian market. That goal was achieved as we found useful contacts and new customers. For the future I am planning to attract more Chinese companies for participation in the expo.

Weing Zhongde, Sale Manager at SHENGONG (China):

– This is our first time at the trade show, and we are very pleased with participation in it. We managed to achieve our goals – to encourage and extend brand awareness, to complete customers base and find new contacts. We have already found buyers for the exhibited equipment. Participation in a trade show always shows company’s strengths and contributes to the brand development. In addition, we heard positive testimonials on this expo and decided to come. Next year we are going to bring more equipment and also to bring timber in order to demonstrate our machines in action.

Evgeny Sisikenev, specialist at GidroTekhService (Kemerovo):

– We just start working with logging companies, so we have come here in order to get acquainted with potential customers. Here we saw a fair number of companies that can be our partners, including manufacturers of machinery manufacturers. We have established new contacts and reached agreements. I can say that participation paid off, and now there is meticulous work with new customers to be done.
