FOCUSED AND TIME-EFFICIENT MINI-EXPO PROVES A SUCCESSFUL FORMULA
The first CBM Fastener Manufacturing Technology & Services Mini-Expo, held on 16th October at the National Metalforming Centre, proved a real success.
Visitors found a really extensive range of technologies and services, ranging from cold forming machinery to simulation software, heat treatment to tooling, lubricants to coatings.
Above all there was a lot of appreciation for the CBM staging a really focused and time-efficient event for fastener and precision component manufacturers. Exhibitors are already telling us they’re very happy to support a similar event in 2020.
Here are just a few of the positive comments we’ve received so far:
“A good day with the opportunity to network with other exhibitors and to meet potential new clients“
“We found it a very good networking day”
“I found the CBM fastener manufacturing exhibition interesting and worth attending.”
“Well done to all the CBM staff!“
“Appreciate the invite for today’s fastener sector exhibition, Found some of the items interesting.”
“Good work on the event. Having attended many conferences and exhibitions I believe that focused and targeted events are the most beneficial.“
CBM would like to thank all of the exhibitors and visitors for their support in this first edition of an event that we are sure will now grow from strength to strength.
