Economy above all

The economy was the leading theme this year, dominating conversations not only during industry talks, but also in informal meetings in the wings, as we observed when strolling around the exhibition space. Thanks to their innovative products and technologies, exhibitors demonstrated how we can address new challenges. “After the summer, there is a clear trend toward investing in energy-saving electric or hybrid machines. People prefer to pay more now to save more later in the manufacturing process”, said Dawid Sawkow, Sales Manager, InAutom Poland Sp. z o.o.

For companies, success often depends on extensive contact networks; hundreds of entrepreneurs – not only from the Kuyavian-Pomeranian voivodeship, but also visitors from the farthest corners of Poland and beyond – could expand their networks at the trade show. Do exhibitors feel they managed to achieve their business goals? “The tools department was initially created to meet our own needs, but over time, we realised we wanted to use it on a wider scale and look for external clients. We came here to find companies that would need our moulds, our expertise, but most of all, our long-term cooperation; this is what we are aiming for. We attracted several serious clients, interesting companies, and I think we will expand our business”, said Martyn Szyc, Export Manager, DTM System.

The trade show allows companies to forge new contacts, but also cement those they already work with, as confirmed by Dawid Sawkow on the second day. “As for our goals, yes, we are getting there. Our clients from all over Poland really come here to meet sales people, they hold meetings, sign contracts. This also allows them get to know the trade show and regional companies, which is important for us. We already cooperate with many companies, so it is simply easier for us when a client arrives and understands that there are more than just two companies in Bydgoszcz”
