Exhibitor Testimonials

Matt Ramsey, Director of Business Development, APS Technology Group

“Despite the economic situation, TOC Europe 2009 was a successful event and showed that there are signs of a recovery in the industry. There was a good atmosphere on the exhibition floor and it was great to see that most of the visitors to the show were the key decision makers at companies, interested in doing business.

The new workshops on the exhibition floor were a great addition to the 2009 event and they were all extremely well attended. Following our workshop presentation on the first day, we had several new visitors to our stand which was hugely encouraging. The networking event at the end of the first day offered us the chance to meet a number of new contacts in a relaxed atmosphere.”

Dag Tryggo, Managing Director, Loxystem

“Our industry is a very close community and all of the key people have a presence at TOC Europe. We were launching a new product at this year’s show and in my opinion it was a great place to showcase our innovative technology to the industry.

Even though our product is not available yet, presenting at the technical workshops allowed us to demonstrate our expertise to a number of visitors, highlighting the benefits of our product to the people that matter in our industry. Exhibiting at TOC Europe 2009 was an excellent marketing exercise for us and we hope to be back for the 2010 event in Valencia, which I’m sure will be a successful event.”

Douglas Smith, World Crane Services

“It was hugely encouraging to see that TOC Europe still attracted a good number of key people despite the economic problems the industry is seeing this year – it shows the strength of the show. Most importantly, the show attracts the decision makers in the industry so you don’t see many people just collecting brochures. We have been able to speak to some of our existing clients as well as generating a number of good new leads. Bremen was a good location for the event and we are looking forward to the 2010 event in Valencia.”

Robert Vennemann, Gottwald Port Technology

“This is a difficult year for the industry and the next few months will be no different. Despite the current situation, this year’s TOC Europe has been better than I expected. The visitor numbers may have been slightly down on previous years but importantly the decision makers in the industry are still participating. TOC Europe is one of the leading shows for the port industry and having a presence at it is hugely important.”

Claudia Tonic-Cober, LXE GmbH

“We launched our new handheld computer at TOC Europe. The event was an excellent platform to launch the product as we were able to demonstrate its usages and benefits to the key people in the port industry.”

Sasha Niederhagen, Sales Mangement, SICK

“TOC Europe 2009 surpassed all of our expectations. We only had a small presence at the exhibition but there was great interest in our products during the show. Simply by having a stand at TOC Europe, we met many new contacts and have arranged several extremely positive new business meetings with European terminal operators.”

Regis Dazy, Flender AG (part of Siemens group)

“Our stand was very popular this year which is very positive in this economic climate. The exhibition floor was busy during all days of the event and the workshops were a good addition to the TOC Europe 2009 exhibition. Over the next few weeks we will be extremely busy following up on the positive leads we have generated through having a presence at the show.”

Andrea Baumbach, Head of Sales, Converteam GmbH

“This year’s event was my first TOC Europe and I am impressed by the event. During day one and two of the exhibition, the floor was busy and we had a good variety and number of visitors attending our stand, making enquiries. It is definitely a good event to meet new contacts.”
