ABOUT THE MARKET
Houston, TX
The Reliant Center
October 29-30, 2008
The enthusiastic responses below are indicative of the booming Houston market and the need for suppliers there. Exhibitors were so positive about the leads they got that, by popular demand, we are returning to Houston in 2008. Here are some of the comments we heard during and after the show:
“I have exhibited all over the United States with AmCon and this show was by far the best. I’m already supplying three customers with parts from this show!”
- Dan Prunty, 3D MoldLESS Technology Div. of ATC www.3dmoldless.com
“It’s been a very productive show for us. I’m so excited about how much potential business there is in Houston. Everybody I talked to was very interested and made a commitment to send us drawings and quotes.”
- David Webb, Cable Technologies, Inc. www.cabletechnologies.com
“Great show. We had one lead that could be huge. And we’ve gotten some good customers from it. Even better than last year!”
- John Forsgren, ProSource Industries www.prosourceind.com
“This is the best show we’ve ever done. Great leads!”
- Bill Seyferth, Westech Corp. www.westechcorp.com
“I already have a couple of customers from this show and it’s only been a month. Also had 19 solid leads we’re pursuing now.”
