Exhibitors responces:

STANKOTECHTSENTR, the representative of SAVATEC Sp. z o.o. in Russia (Tatyana A. Tarasova, general director)

First of all, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the organizers of the exhibition, Mir Expo Exhibition Company, for professionalism, attentiveness and kindly attitude.

Despite the crisis the exhibition was of great interest to manufacturers and had a wide choice of heat treatment equipment for various applications. A gamut of issues dedicated to modern technologies in heat treatment of different materials were raised and discussed at length at the trade fair.

Exhibitions like this one promote the development of technological progress and science-driven high technologies.

Mir Expo Exhibition Company afforded our company an opportunity to actively assist in promoting the products of SAVATEC that until then had not been present in the Russian market.

We express our gratitude to Mir Expo EC and plan to interact further on these issues.

Linn High Therm, Russia, Germany (Viola Kim)

The exhibition was organized on a sufficiently high level: prompt response for requests, a timely provision of all the information needed, which, to my experience, is not always the case. Our company takes part in the Heat Treatment Exhibition for the first time. Notwithstanding the fact that the exhibition itself was not large, the visitors’ footfall was quite immense and as a consequence we had good results.

Especially I would like to thank the Organizing Committee of the Exhibition, the staff of Mir Expo Exhibition Company for responsiveness and well-organized work with us as participants of the exhibition, attentive and genial communication.

The sole request is: it would be great if at the next Heat Treatment exhibition they would set up a small café.

Vermolit LLC, Moscow, Russia (Denis O. Aizikovich, Production Director)

Vermolit LLC thanks Mir Expo EC for the invitation to the exhibition and the organization of our participation in Heat Treatment - 2009.

Notwithstanding the conspicuous manifestations of the crisis in the national economy of Russia, we have received a great charge of optimism and a real vision of our company's successful development of business.

During the three days of running of the trade fair more than 80 organizations visited the stand of Vermolit LLC, many of them have already expressed their intent to interact with us. On the results of technical negotiations with industry specialists we have drawn up plans to create new refractory materials needed by industry. A number of foreign firms took an interest in our products, now sample tests are carried out in Germany and Spain.

It is always good to meet intelligent, nice and genial people.
