Doing Trade
The Exposition is a highpoint for many, as it is the only time to meet so many vendors face to face and see new products and services to improve operations. Vendors enjoy the chance to meet new people and solidify current business relationships. “This year’s exposition is really good,” says JJ Feregino, We Buy Key Fobs. “We have already seen seven to eight different guaranteed future clients. We are very happy with the turn-out.” ARA University’s new technology partner, Eric Schmitz from KPA, says, “The buzz around the new ARAU has been strong. The openness of the quality people and owners walking around the show floor is great. They are engaged and open to new solutions.” With record numbers of cores companies on the expo floor, Jeff Stolberg, A&A Midwest owner, says, “More and more people are looking for a core pro- gram than we’ve ever seen.” It is important to ask the right questions, he stressed, when choosing a vendor. Asking when loads will be picked up, if they will honor price lists versus what the auto recycler is hold- ing, and things of that nature.
Dave Stout of Just Packaging, Inc., a new exhibitor,
raved that his booth encounters were “phenomenal.” He talked about the importance of uniform, branded packaging, and that many he spoke with needed a better source in order to compete in the marketplace.
