Baltimore Show a Hit for Exhibitors at METALCON 2016
NEWTON, Mass. — Exhibitors at the largest international event for the metal construction industry tout success for this year’s METALCON tradeshow and conference in Baltimore from Oct. 26-28.
Donnie Snow, Southern Region account manager at Akzo Nobel, a leading global paints and coatings company, said, “I love METALCON! It’s the one place we need to be. In this business, you have to have a presence. You have to be here. Our competition is here, so you’ve got to be here. We network with existing and new customers, as well as introduce new products. Every year you need to try to keep it fresh and introduce new products, and Baltimore offers the perfect set up for us.”
Newcomer to METALCON this year was Accurate Perforating, a leading prime manufacturer of custom and standard perforated metals. Michael Beck of Accurate Perforating said, “The show has been good for us because it brings us closer to our customer, to the end-user. I really didn’t know what to expect. With other shows, the people are more generic. Here, the exhibitors are our customers. Baltimore is a great venue, and it really changed my opinion of the area. It is a great location to attract the international attendance we are seeing.”
