Exhibiting
The annual METS (Marine Equipment Trade Show) show in Amsterdam
is quite simply the world’s best showcase event for marine
equipment manufacturers and suppliers. 90% of the 1,200
exhibitors in 2009 were very satisfied/satisfied with the show and
96% were going to re-exhibit in 2010 (we are still awaiting 2010
results) – this is very strong positive feedback from
exhibitors.
The visitors to the show come for four main reasons:
- Obtain a general overview 69%
- Research new technologies/products/services 68%
- Making new contacts 66%
- Maintaining contacts with existing clients/contacts 63%
- 97% of 2009 13,000 visitors were very satisfied/satisfied with
the show and 94% were going to visit in 2010
The visitors to the show, all trade, are a mix of purchasing
teams from the world’s major boatbuilders (volume yards to
Superyacht yards) and distributors and agents from around the word
looking for new products and services. If you want to meet
purchasing managers and hungry distributors – come to METS
2011. If you are new the show please call us to discuss the
