Last month MTE kicked off the year with a stunning exhibition taking place in Cullinan, Gauteng. World famous for its prized gem diamonds, this show is always a highlight for both us and our visitors.

The Cullinan Mining & Industrial Exhibition took place on 2 February 2023 at the Cullinan Community Sports Centre. This year we had 26 exhibitors at the show and they did not disappoint, with many excellent offerings in terms of products and services for our visitors to see, touch and experience for themselves.

We had 110 visitors in total, with almost half of them being representatives from the engineering departments of the local operations. This number also included engineers in charge of maintenance and plant operations, who are always in search of expedient ways to improve throughput and reduce downtime caused by machine faults and repairs. Shows like this are therefore a diamond opportunity to demonstrate exactly how or why your products can provide those very same solutions to them. Even the engineering manager for Cullinan Mine came to see the stands, bringing with them the senior engineers from the department to inspect what was on offer.

Not only that, we also hosted visitors from local companies who were curious about MTE and what our shows can offer their businesses. They were so impressed with what they saw that several have already booked shows with us for 2023!

After a day of intense heat there was a light shower at around 15:30, but this did not dampen our spirits or those of our exhibitors and we were still able to host a very successful expo with many high-quality visitors present and some fruitful business engagements. We received positive feedback from the visitors and our exhibitors, so let their comments speak for themselves:

“Excellent service delivery and the atmosphere was wonderful.”

“Great to connect with new and old customers.”

“Friendly, professional, good leads — a must.”

All in all a great show and we look forward to returning next year!
