“We’ve exhibited at Firexpo since it launched. We have a full turnkey solution — before the fire, during the fire, and after the fire. We use Firexpo to create brand awareness and to explain that we have a fully fledged fire solution in our group. People are very interested in our lithium extinguishers. Visitors have shown great and positive interest in our solutions. This underpins our decision to be here.”

“We’ll definitely be back at Firexpo next year. We are the only fire company that does supply, installation and maintenance, so this is the perfect forum for us. We get great exposure for our Pyro Bubbles. Visitors were very interested in what we are offering, and we had two definite leads on the first day of the show.”

“This is our first time at Facilities Management Expo, and we find that the four different disciplines that are covered at the co-located shows complement our training programmes across OSH, security, fire safety and FM. It’s a great chance to network and generate interest in our courses. We met with a couple of high-profile potential clients on the first day, so that is very pleasing for us. We had feedback from visitors that together the four shows are huge; well worth visiting.”

“This is our third year exhibiting at Firexpo, and it provides great exposure to the market we are trying to get into more aggressively, specifically end users. Our aim was to gain market share by getting to as many installers and end users as possible. We had a good response from those visitors who were interested. Already, on day one we had three good leads. This is a great show for the market we are in. We’ve already signed our stand contract for next year.”

“At least 40-50% of our client base is in the FM or fire market. The Firexpo platform is well suited to attract our target market. Our aim was to create more touchpoints with clients, to create more client leads, and to find more resellers. The number of hot leads was fantastic — at least 25 companies actively asking us to contact them. The quality of leads was surprisingly good. We had several visitors from sub-Saharan Africa, which is great and encouraging.”

“We’ve been in the country for 16 years, and decided three years ago to increase brand exposure. The quality of visitors was fantastic. We had 50 great, qualified leads on the first day of the show. We are very impressed with the show.”

“Our business is very face-to-face-oriented, so the show is perfect for us to get our name ‘out there’. We get to meet the real players in the industry. The quality of visitors is top notch. Everyone seemed very excited to be here. The security managers set these three days aside every year to source their solutions. We met some new potential customers getting into the industry, and some existing customers. The expos are well run; it’s actually amazing.”

“This is the first time that Armatura has exhibited as a standalone, as in the past we have been on the ZKTeco stand. Because we are a top-tier access control brand, we wanted to increase the exposure to and understanding of our brand. We received large project-related leads, which we are thrilled about.”
