“The 2009 Assembly Technology Expo was the first trade show that Bossard North America has participated in, and we had a GREAT time doing so. This was an important first step in more aggressively marketing the Bossard name/brand here in the US. We left Rosemont with several qualified leads to follow-up on, and we are already making plans to participate again in 2010!”

Dan Spence, Project Manager — Bossard North America

“Certified Comparator Products (CCP), the newest division of Quality Vision International, celebrated its Grand Opening at this year's Quality Expo Show. Quality Expo 2009 was the perfect venue for the launch of an entirely new high-technology optical comparator product line. We could not have been more pleased with both the unexpected high volume of customers and the number of dealers and potential dealers, who responded so positively to CCP's product introduction at the show. CCP hopes to continue to grow and to exhibit at Quality in the years and decades to come.”

Timothy S. Fantauzzo, Vice President Sales & Marketing — Certified Comparator Products

“ATExpo 2009 trade show was very successful and fruitful for FASTECH. We were very happy with not only quality of visitors, but also the quantity. FASTECH participated in ATX West 2009 in Anaheim and ATExpo 2009 in the Midwest, and we will be very excited to take part in upcoming shows.”

Daniel Jang, Senior Manager for overseas sales and marketing — FASTECH Co., Ltd

“Although the level of inquiry was off slightly from the previous Quality Expo, but we found the quality of our inquiries was higher, and attendees were more focused. The show made it clear that need is still very strong. Demand hasn’t died. It has been dormant, and budgets will be loosening up again soon. We’ll be back in 2011 without a second thought.”

Art Whistler, VP Sales & Marketing — Helmel Engineering Products, Inc.

“Assembly Tech was one of the few shows that we kept on our 2009 schedule. Due to the economy, we were concerned about attendance this year, but were pleasantly surprised by the number of high quality leads we captured. ATE has always been an excellent show for us.”

“It was our first time exhibiting at MD&M Midwest and our experience was excellent. We received over 70 qualified leads that require our services. The titles of the contacts we spoke with are the influencers or decision makers within their firm. It was a very busy show for Linguanational and we will definitely be exhibiting at MD&M Midwest again in 2010!”

Janie Markos, President — Linguanational Translations, Inc.

“The MD&M Midwest show 2009 in Chicago was an excellent show for Medbio. Not only did we get several qualified leads and potential new customers, but we were also able to visit with several current customers in a relaxed atmosphere. We have already signed up for next year.”

"The team from NSF-ISR, a leading provider of quality systems services, was happily surprised at the attendance of the show this year during a stubborn economy. There seemed to be much enthusiasm for the show, and the wide range of exhibitor’s goods and services left us with a great feeling of success. The foresight of the Quality Expo's agenda to include more on Environmental issues and how they can be intertwined with Quality indicates a true vision and leadership position and is of particular relevance to our business today."

John Arvay, Director of Business Development — NSF-ISR

"Optical Gaging Products is pleased with the attendee turnout and the enthusiasm at Quality Expo 2009.

QE 2009 proved to be a good product introduction showcase."

R. Stephen Flynn, President — Optical Gaging Products, Inc.

“This was the best ATExpo ever. Having the entire show in one location was much better for the trade show participants and easier for the attendees to navigate. From the opening bell, we were very busy interviewing prospects, and by the close of the show, we had over 90 valid leads. The convenience of Rosemont to the airport, local 3+ rated hotels, and ample parking makes this show a must.”

Frank Racey, Regional Sales Manager — Peter Parts Electronics, Inc.

“Brisk business at Quality Expo gave us a chance to showcase our CHARTrunner, GAGEpack, and other software programs to improve process quality. We came back with impressive leads, and even had a chance to talk to customers from our local Ohio area who had traveled to Chicago in order to see new products and learn new approaches. Our customers come to Quality Expo, and we like to see them there.”

Alison Nelson, Event Coordinator — PQ Systems, Inc.

“RFID, Inc. has been committed to each of the four ATExpo shows for two years, due to the value, the more qualified leads than our traditional experience at trade shows, and the immediate measureable ROI in terms of sales dollars. It’s a no brainer.”

James E. Heurich, President — RFID, Inc.

“With the re-organization of the medical manufacturing companies in one area, the quality and quantity of leads significantly increased versus 2008. Overall, the show was well organized and we look forward to displaying again next year.”

Darren Wegner, Sales Engineer — Stellar Technologies

VCA is an accredited registrar specializing exclusively in the automotive-related industries, and we look forward to seeing our now larger client base at future Quality Expos.”
