Testimonials

"Pacific Design and Manufacturing West is always our best show of the year. This year, however, I think will be our best show ever. I can tell that the attendance was up just by how many people stopped by our booth, not to mention we had over 76% more leads this year (over 300), all of which were qualified. Matter of fact, I came in on Monday after the show with 3 new RFQ's waiting for me to get started on. People loved our Direct Metal Laser Sintering capabilities. I have already signed up for next year along with 3 other Canon shows. Thank you UBM Canon!"

"Even in this slow economy, PD&M proved to be a success providing great leads and an increase in sales!"
— Vivian Lainfiesta, Marketing Manager - T & C Asia

"The diversity and quality of the leads I procured at the Pacific Design & Manufacturing Exhibition exceeded my expectations. I met persons genuinely interested in our services, not only on the floor during exhibition hours, but after hours, as well, at evening networking functions. Exhibiting at this event was a wonderful business decision and I am confident that Fat Chimp Studios will be seeing the positive effects throughout the year. I am looking forward to Pacific Design & Manufacturing 2012!"

"We manufacture thermal drill bits (Formdrills) which are used to form holes in metal. Their use eliminates the need to use welded nuts, inserts and welded bosses. We normally exhibit at fabrication- oriented shows where we typically meet the machine shops or groups doing the fabrication. They like the process and its benefits, but most of the time they cannot alter the manufacturing process. We decided to try PDM with the idea that we would meet the designers and engineers that "prescribe" the processes to be used in production. We are pleased with the number and quality of leads we collected. Most of them are the guys calling the shots. We are certainly planning to exhibit in other PDM shows this year."

"The Pacific Design and Manufacturing show is always a great show. There are many diverse attendees that produce many quality leads. We are able to reach customers from Medical, Plastic, and Aerospace industries under one roof."
— Mike MacArthur, National Sales Manager - RobbJack Corporation

"We invest in this show with one express purpose in mind – to find new business and increase sales. However, this show consistently offers more than just new customers – which we expect to have a lot of as we do our follow-up work. The 2011 show was well attended due to the diversity of the exhibits and resulting great mix of attendees. We had great success despite a seemingly out-of-the-way location. We discovered whole new applications for our thermal engineering technology and found new partners to go to market with, as well. This show encompasses so many technologies, markets, geographic locations and industries that if we had to reduce our trade show budget to just ONE a year, this would be the show we could not give up. For a small company like ours, it's a great opportunity to see how the big players display and market their wares, and also to gain exposure to them; we have as much success selling to the exhibitors as the attendees. See you there next year!"

"We were very unsure about exhibiting at the Pacific Design & Mfg. Show this year due to the recession. This year's show was not in the budget either. However, we felt that we had to be there to expand into the California area. The 2011 Pacific Design & Mfg. turned out to be one of the best trade shows where we have ever exhibited. I signed up for the 2012 show already."
