As part of a consolidation of marketing activities, Weir Power and Industrial has been showcasing its product and service capabilities at key industry exhibitions across Europe, North Africa and China.

There was a strong divisional presence at Powergen Europe.  The show had over 450 exhibitors occupying some 13,000 square metres and the combined shows proved to be an excellent platform to present the divisional offerings and open up networking opportunities.  This event attracted over 12,000 attendees from over 100 countries.  The team at this event generated a great deal of interest about the division’s capabilities and the quality of leads generated were of a very high standard.

For the second year running, Weir Power and Industrial France exhibited at China’s large Cippe exhibition.  The show is held every year in Beijing and is renowned as the premier exhibition in the petroleum and petrochemical industries.  Cippe is an international event attracting 30,000 attendees, 40% of which are from overseas.

Guillaume Caspers (Sarasin-RSBD Area Sales Manager) & Jack Zhang (Internal Salesman) have been following up on the many enquiries they received during the exhibition.

The French sales team also attended an exhibition in Algeria to promote the Sarasin-RSBD range of safety valves at HMI 2009.  The event allowed major suppliers in the oil and gas industry to demonstrate their potential.

In the past this exhibition has attracted major US, UK and Italian companies, however a strong French presence was observed this year.  This event gives Weir Power and Industrial France the opportunity to affirm its presence in this important market.

Weir Power and Industrial will continue to participate at a number of other key events in North America and South Asia throughout the year, to reinforce the range of engineered solutions the division offers its customers.
