Exhibitor Statements 2019
See what our exhibitors of analytica Lab Africa had to say about our 2019 show, premiering for the first time in co-location with food & drink technology Africa and IFAT Africa
Derek Stott, Director, Labchem:
“Overall the show was fantastic! We’ve never experienced numbers like this before on the first day. Our stand was incredibly busy throughout and we’re glad we brought as many people to assist as we did, or we certainly would not have coped.”
Delphine Darling, Business Development Director at LASEC:
“The location, organisation and overall marketing for this year’s event has been better than in all years prior to this one. In fact, the marketing this year has been amazing! We were able to network with other exhibitors and that was of value to us. Most of our visitors enjoyed the opportunity to see more of our suppliers all together in one place.”
Paulo Pinto, Head of South & Southern Africa, Merck:
“We found that the co-location of the three events was beneficial for us with regards to overall visitor numbers. We received some definite business leads as well as positive opportunities for collaborating with other companies in the future.”
Lisa Yallop, Regional Sales Account Manager, PerkinElmer:
“We had very engaging visitors of a very high quality. The numbers are often not the important metrics by which to measure a shows success as often one may find high numbers of visitors does not illicit a high number of genuine business leads. So for us, the quality or the significance of each visit that we’ve received during the show is worth noting as we are confident they will illicit actual business in the future.”
Nicolai von Knauer, General Manager for South Africa of Sartorius:
“We received more customers than we were expecting, our stand has been consistently busy throughout both days. We met with high quality visitors, so overall our experience was very good. We could say this show is reaching European standards of excellence.”
Charl Yeates (Ph.D), MS Product Specialist, for Shimadzu:
“The colocation of the three shows worked out very well for us as it resulted in us having access to numerous visitors that we would not otherwise have had the opportunity to meet. I would estimate that roughly 20% of our business leads came from those who had initially come for one of the other co-located exhibitions. This show allowed us the opportunity to meet, network and engage with international companies and guests. It opened the door for us to discuss potential collaborative endeavours with other exhibitors as well. This is first and foremost, a sales exhibition and that is what sets it apart from most other exhibitions. People have come to buy and sell.”
