So why would you want to exhibit with MTE? First of all, MTE is the only reputable travelling exhibition provider to the mines and industrial operations. We have a solid reputation backed up by 30 years of experience in the industry – with the client testimonials to prove it. The company has come a long way over the last three decades – from humble beginnings in 1993 as a one-person operation using a land cruiser to a fully equipped team with two 24-ton trucks and a considerable list of destinations to which we travel every year. MTE has evolved over time to become the premier travelling exhibition provider that it is today.

What makes MTE so successful is the fact that we put so much effort into each and every show that we organise. MTE’s expertise lies in the in-depth database we have collected over the years regarding mines and mining operations across Africa (and the globe). Our operations director, Andrew Macnamara, travels extensively to these operations to meet with top level management as well as engineering and safety departments to find out what their needs are in order to match those needs with suppliers who can provide the solutions the mines are looking for. This means that every exhibition is customised for the requirements of each area and buy-in from the mines is virtually guaranteed. This model has proven to be highly effective and has been used by the company for many years.
Perhaps one of the most difficult challenges we have had to overcome was the Covid-19 pandemic and the ensuing lockdown which placed the whole country on hold. While the entire infrastructure of South Africa was in dire straits it fell to the mining industry to keep the economy afloat and MTE made sure to assist in that regard. By changing our shows to become compliant with social distancing and compulsory masks we were able to continue providing the same high-quality service which our clients rely on to get their products to the heart of the mines. Not only that, we also adapted by embracing digital solutions with our product portal and the introduction of the MTE app.
MTE knows that understanding the challenges involved in the mining process is the only way to truly provide the right solutions needed to solve those challenges. That’s why we believe that just sending an email or making a call is not sufficient, we prefer a hands-on approach and so that’s why we go to each location months ahead of each event to see for ourselves how we can provide the best value for each mine. We also provide our own equipment which we maintain ourselves in order to ensure the highest levels of safety and reliability.
When exhibiting it is essential to make sure that the exhibition organiser is a reputable one. Unfortunately not all such companies are trustworthy, which is why if you want to be involved with MTE you should keep the following in mind: if you don’t see one of our team members or our branding then it’s not us. Don’t let imitators fool you, insist on the authentic MTE.
