PRIMUS: AMBIENTE UKRAINE

BergHOFF
T. Samohvalova. Commercial Director: Participation in the exhibition is the most precise positioning of the trade mark in the competitors surroundings in the specialized market and a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate real level of the company co-workers. And most important, it is a unique opportunity to set the image of the company and to prove the status of the branch leader.

VESTEX
А. Skuz, General Director: Every year we support the exhibition PRIMUS: AMBIENTE UKRAINE as its main trade fields are tightly joined with our business. We want our goods to become more popular in Ukraine, both among the people and among potential clients. It is very important to participate in PRIMUS: AMBIENTE UKRAINE because of image of our company. We represent very good brands and cooperate closely with big operators in the Ukrainian market. We offer novelties, conduct negotiations, tell about new groups of goods, get new partners and get them acquainted with our goods. Almost all the operators of the Ukrainian household and everyday goods market are represented here, that is especially pleasant to acknowledge they go with the times. I think because of the participation in the exhibition our business and our partners’ business will be successful and we will participate again in 2008 and will be sponsors again.

SNTI
V.Surzhkov, Regional Director: Our company has participated in the exhibition PRIMUS: AMBIENTE UKRAINE and it is more of an image exhibition for us. Time from time new clients appear.

We have started like this. We are planning to participate in the exhibition next year and have already booked the space for 5 years ahead.

INTERNATIONAL CLEANING FORUM

KIMS
Alexandr Kogan: We have taken part and supported this exhibition for a long time. This year we sponsored the exhibition. Once, many years ago, and within a different exhibition I triggered the demonstration of the equipment for dry cleaner’s and laundries. I was the pioneer of this event. Some people used to not understand this; they laughed and asked “Why do we need this?” But I think that the business we are involved in has to be appropriate and civilized as it is in the world. And the corporation Primus Exhibitions Group plays a noble role in the development of cleaning sector: it has created and annually holds the specialized exhibition. The cleaning exhibition attracts many people, an intensive information exchange takes place, seminars, presentations and many other events are held. Everything is organized splendidly. In short, the company Primus Ukraine infuses a fresh spirit into the life of the industry.

Continent VV
Vladimir Semenov: Our company presents professional equipment for laundries. The sector is developing; the business is becoming more attractive. It is difficult to judge about the market volume, it is a huge iceberg and we see only its top. We need about 8-10 years to reach the saturation of the Central Europe where a small village with the population of 3-4 thousand people has a dry cleaner’s. That is why we have a great potential. I can point that the exhibition is organized more professionally in comparison with last years and its attendance is much higher. Many specialists came. This year the exhibition was a success for us – we concluded contracts for equipment delivery. Certainly we plan to take part next year.

ITO
The exhibition is growing, every year companies occupy larger exhibition areas in order to demonstrate their products “live” and attract the client. The Ukrainian cleaning market develops, though not that rapidly as in Western Europe but there is still a certain dynamics. And there are people who are ready to invest money in cleaning business. And this is the exhibition that allows to establish a maximum of beneficial contacts for a short period of time.

FasTeh
Tatiana Lupiy, The expert in marketing: It is not the first time we participate precisely in the autumn exhibition PRIMUS: BUILDING-UKRAINE.

VARNISH AND PAINT MATERIALS, RAW MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT 2009

PROFARB I SP. z.o.o.
Bogdan Emchuk, Regional Director: “PROFARB” – ours is a rather young company that has worked in the world market for 30 years. In the Ukrainian market we have been present for 10 years, and four years ago we opened an office in Kiev that became the central office for Russian-speaking countries. For our firm, whose central office is in the city of Gilwice in Poland, the markets of Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan are our biggest priority. The greatest attention and all our development, technologies, and design inventions, therefore go first of all to the markets of these countries. For me personally participation in the Congress is an opportunity for direct dialogue, so it is much more than simply an exhibition. In the Congress there is active dialogue, the vital issues are discussed, and people have the opportunity to talk. We shall always try to participate in similar events.

CHIMEX UKRAINE
Vladimir Vasyuk, Director: The field of activity of our company is the improvement of the quality of paint and varnish materials as the basis for introducing the newest technologies of western firms and institutes. The current market development is encouraging. The greater Ukrainian family of paint and varnish specialists has been formed. Many directors and technologists of companies are personally known to each other. This is shown in the exhibition PRIMUS: INTERFARBA and the other scientifically-practical actions that resulted from it. Owing to the concentration in one place of the country’s leading technologists and laboratories of paint and varnish enterprises, a huge potential of experience and energy is created. People are ready to share innovative ideas and technological secrets. Participation in the International Congress for us is therefore obligatory. We hope that, owing to the exhibition, our business and manufacturing will develop.
