Exhibitors about METAL trade fair

The Metal Expo has had a good reputation in the industry for years. Everyone who’s in this business is also here at the fair in Kielce. Within two trade fair days, we’re able to reach 40–50 major clients in Poland — something that would normally take half a year, or maybe even a full year. The atmosphere at the fair is always fantastic, and the medal and award ceremony is important for many companies that look forward to it, because products from this sector often go unnoticed, but here at the fair they are appreciated and showcased.

The atmosphere at the fair translates into relationships even between competing companies. It’s a small industry where everyone knows each other. Good relationships build our businesses, and Targi Kielce contributes to that and plays a key role. That’s why the Metal Expo is an important event in our calendar, and we’re always happy to come to Kielce.

This year’s fair showed great interest in our company, which resulted in new projects. Our opinion about the fair can only be positive, and if the market situation remains stable, we will definitely take part in the next edition.

The fair has developed greatly in recent years. From the very beginning, we’ve had a lot of visitors — the kind of clients we really care about. We’ve had many interesting and constructive conversations with them. That’s why we’ve been coming to Kielce for years — to meet our clients during the Metal Expo, but also to get to know new ones who may soon become our partners.
