Testimonials from exhibitors:
EOS GmbH Electro Optical
Systems, Dr. Christof
M. Stotko, Head of Global Marketing

to our customers. The concept with the new hall 11.0 came off
very well.
BIKAR Metalle, Konstantin Bikar, CEO
Despite all negative forecasts and expectations, partly being
published in media, EuroMold 2009 World Fair for Moldmaking
and Tooling, design and Application Development was a smashing
success. Even more surprisingly was the high number of interested
attendees. In addition to our entire current business partner
we registered numerous CEOs, purchase managers, engineers and
designers, who informed themselves on our materials and its features
within mold- and modelmaking. Sensational were the significant
contracts we signed up on our booth with some big and renowned
new customers, which is very unusual in our field of industry.
Summing up we have to state that EuroMold 2009 was the most successful
exhibition ever.
Cimatron GmbH, Dirk Dombert, CEO
EuroMold 2009 was a very successful event. Contrary to all fears
due to the crisis the number of prosperous contacts increased
significantly. Also in respect of quality I must state, that we
expect several completion of contracts after the show. Even during
EuroMold we signed several contracts. All in all EuroMold 2009
was very successful and we will be back 2010.
Objet Geometries GmbH, Andy Middleton, CEO Europe:
We were staggered by the high number and quality of trade visitors,
which came and met us at our booth in hall 11.0 on the first day
already. The flow of attendees was on a high level all 4 days.
The interest in Rapid Prototyping is increasing daily and we are
happy to have been involved. It was great, we are excited.
Sescoi GmbH, Brigitte Dauth, Administration Manager
EuroMold is the industrial show for moldmaking and tooling in
Europe and the No. 1 for us. We always have a big stand at EuroMold.
Of course we also attend other exhibitions, but on no other show
we can reach our customers in such a concentrate way as here.
From this year's EuroMold we did expect a great plenty of customer
contacts as a clear indication for a recovery of the markets.
We did not get disappointed.
Werkzeugbau Ruhla, Marco Schülken, CEO
We were surprised that EuroMold 2009 on the first day already
had such a rush of visitors. At least for the duration of EuroMold
2009 the still prevailing crisis seemed to be forgotten. EuroMold
has always been and still is the most important trade show for
moldmaking and tooling in Germany, and, we will certainly participate
at EuroMold 2010 again. The new hall structure with the new built
hall 11.0 was enrichment for the show. It made it more compact
and much more lucrative for the visitors.
Dörries Scharmann Technologie
GmbH, Michael Schedler,
Head of Marketing
In a very tough period of uncertainty EuroMold has strengthened
its position as the leading exhibition for moldmaking and tooling.
Once again EuroMold came off with lots of positive impulses for
the future. High class attendees caused heavy traffic on the stands.
Numerous shop talks, also about new projects, showed up good prospects
for 2010. The new hall 11.0 was vitalising, it attracted attention
by its interesting architecture and by the attractive mix of exhibitors.
OxiMaTec GmbH, Dr. Wolfgang Burger, Dr. Wolfgang Leonhardt,
CEOs
The high number of visitors and the positive spirit has once again
underlined the uniqueness of EuroMold. Our joint stand was attended
heavily and we had lots of interrogations with high-class professionals.
Attendees showed big interest in our tailor-made materials and
components. Our concept 'from raw material to component, from
the prototype to series production' did convince all visitors.
The show was far beyond our expectations and we will of course
participate next year again.
BÖHLER EDELSTAHL GmbH
& Co KG, Kurt Weidhofer
Among all trade fair participations EuroMold is the highlight
for us. The high number of high class attendees took us by surprise.
EuroMold is simply the leading exhibition. It has a very special
atmosphere which you can already feel during set up.
designlab, University of
Coburg, Prof. Peter Raab
The impact of the show and the outstanding professional attendees
is exceptional. I am impressed. In economical terms EuroMold gives
outstanding signals, too.
Dassault Systemes, Michael Brückmann, Manager Marketing
& Communication Central Europe
The new built hall 11.0 und the compact appearance have upgraded
the show for both exhibitors and attendees. Despite the tough
economical situation EuroMold once again revealed that it is the
meeting point for all involved in moldmaking and tooling, design
and product development. Once more the show came up to expectations
in terms of quantity and quality of contacts. We plan to be present
at EuroMold 2010 again.
FOOKE GmbH, Nadine Rexhaj
Quantity and quality of trade visitors took us by surprise. Recapitulating
we must say: Good that we were there. We achieved a very good
result.
