The Prodex, Swisstech and Pack&Move shows just closed their doors and it seems the week was very successful for a lot of people there. We at Eurotec thank our visitors for the sympathetic shared moments there.
The last day of the shows I discussed with a lot of responsible on their booths at Prodex and even if Saturday was far calmer than the other days, they were all smiling and positive. There was at least 15 machines shown for the first time in Switzerland and visitors were coming to booths with actual projects.
Very strong results During that last day survey, I gathered the information that at least 100 machines were sold on the show (probably far more than that but it’s difficult to gather actual facts). If we took an average selling price of CHF 150’000, that means about 15 million CHF gross sales during the week and a lot more to be achieved in the following weeks. Nice!
End of the crisis? Responsible of companies are nevertheless very careful, they all emphasize volatility of markets and prefer to remain careful in their plans. People are willing to buy production means NOW, an exhibitor told me that they are flying some machines from Japan to answer urgent demands in Switzerland… reactivity and flexibility are of high importance. Anyhow, the show sent a strong message to the industrial world that if the signals are not bright green, they are no longer red.
We discovered a lot of products to write about, stay tuned.
Cheers Pierre-Yves Kohler
