In terms of sales operation, we were able to make new business connections
in various regions.
We were glad we exhibited as we were able to listen to detailed commentsfrom visitors and also got feedback on the problems and issues as well aspurchase orders from visitors with decision rights. An exhibition that just has
many people is meaningless.
As our products are highly specialized, the visitors were a good match withthe users we seek.
There are not many exhibitions focusing on plastics in Japan so the IPF is avery valuable event.
We were able to meet companies we had no connections with.
Very international. We realized there was demand from a person from Taiwan.
This is a very global exhibition.
Alleys were wide. It was easy for visitors to locate our booth.
The exhibition fee was lower than other exhibitions of the same scale.
