NEFTEGAZ has become established as the leading trade fair for theRussian oil and gas industry.
The significance of NEFTEGAZ as the leading trade fair for the Russian oil andgas industry was once again impressively confirmed at the Expocentre
Exhibition Complex in Moscow from 15 to 18 April 2019. The leading event
featured 573 exhibitors from 24 countries, who gave around 22,800 tradevisitors an opportunity to view the latest developments in machinery andequipment for the oil and gas industry. The trade fair covered an exhibition
space of 35,285 sqm, offering visitors from all over Russia information about avast product portfolio.
“We are pleased that interest in NEFTEGAZ has been consistent for 30 years
and that the trade fair is continuing to develop so well. We’ve received
extremely positive feedback both from exhibitors and from visitors. The 19thNEFTEGAZ has become established as the leading industry event for experts
from the Russian oil and gas industry,” explains Peter Schmitz, Director ofNEFTEGAZ at Messe Düsseldorf GmbH.
The international exhibitors at NEFTEGAZ were very pleased with the entire
event and almost unanimously praised the high level of professionalism among
trade visitors. As well as having numerous promising conversations, companies
also succeeded in signing quite a few business deals. Interest was particularlyhigh in progressive technology and innovative solutions for the extraction of oil
and gas as well as in the future of the extractive industry, state-of-the-art
environmental monitoring systems and the Russian fuel and energy sectors.
These subjects were also reflected at two events that were held in parallel:
Electro, the International Trade Fair for Electrical Equipment, Lighting
Engineering and Building Automation, and the National Oil and Gas Forum(NOGF). All three events offer an ideal platform for bringing together companies
from the industry with Russian decision-makers as well as promoting anexchange of knowledge between specialists.

Further feedback on NEFTEGAZ 2019

BAUER Kompressoren GmbH, Irina Ryakhmonen, Personal Assistant to
the General Director
This year we are presenting one single product, it is entirely new, created incollaboration, and visitors show a very high interest towards it! Everything has
been well organised as usual – accurately, well, and on time. The exhibition
maintains its consistently high level of quality. By all means, we are thinking ofparticipating in Neftegaz in 2020, because such trade fairs are always key toboosting the company image and having productive meetings.

The exhibition is organised at a high level – everything has been goingsmoothly, beginning from stand installation and all preliminary work andfinishing with the days of the trade fair itself. We are taking part in the exhibition
for the first time and can say that there was interest on the part of the visitors;
the second day was particularly busy and active! After finalising the trade fair
results, estimating feedback and leads, we will be able to be more precise about
our future participation, but even now, there is a view that participation in such
exhibitions is important.
Incomsystem CJSC, Daria Gopkalo, Senior Engineer
Our company attitude towards the trade fair is most positive! Here we unfailingly
meet our regular suppliers and customers. However, this year we were also
happy to see a large number of our foreign partners who had not attended
before due to the sanctions. Since the oil and gas industry is unique andspecific, and there is no need for direct sales, the main purpose of participationin the trade fair pursued by our company is maintaining the image, the existing
contacts, and development and maintenance of communications as a whole.
We also look at the competition environment and look for suppliers. It is also
worth noting that the level of organisation has only been improving from year toyear! The organisers have always been forthcoming; there is a noticeable
personal touch to each participant. Next year we will definitely participate andhope that the organisation level and quality will remain at the same consistently
high level!
PENTA-ARM, JSC, Evgeniya Shuvalova, Development Director
Participation in Neftegaz 2019 is completely satisfying for us! We received
many visitors at all times, particularly on the second and the third day. This is
the second time that we participate in the trade fair and hope that next year wewill also manage to attend this event as an exhibitor. Since we are a Russiancompany that can facilitate the import substitution process, participation in thetrade fair furthers our development and allows us to make our name known tothe general public.

The trade fair organisation level is very high. This year our company took alarger stand; hence, we notice that the number of visitors and contacts has
significantly grown. We have been participating in the trade fair for many years,
more than 10, and we know that this participation furthers businessdevelopment and acquisition of new partners. For this reason, we will
unhesitantly answer: next year we will definitely come to Neftegaz 2020!
Elmess-Kloppertherm LLC, Ramil Faizov, General Director
Comparing the Neftegaz organised this year and 4 years ago, one may notice adecline in the number of exhibiting companies. And this serves as a certain
indicator of the current situation with the sanctions. However, on the bright side
it is worth noting that the quality of the exhibition area has become better, theinternet is made accessible in pavilions, there is a well-developed infrastructurearound; in other words, it is a fully functional cluster now, which follows throughall the performance targets. Given that our company represents several
German brands, the main task is sales, and such exhibition events take up acertain position in this chain. The trade fair helps liven up contacts, increase
the target audience, keep in touch with the customers, since the four days ofthe trade fair allow us to call on all our partners and greet them in person. At
present, our company is heavily investing in localisation, which raises newissues like looking for subcontractors and partners, cooperation at production
sites; that is why our participation next year is certain to take place. The
meeting place cannot be changed!
KANEX Krohne Anlagen Export GmbH , Marat Amirov, ManagerNeftegaz is Russia’s biggest image-building trade fair wherein many of oursuppliers, customers and clients take part, and meetings with them are an
essential part of the company and the entire business development. We
participate in the trade fair for the second time and the organisational issues in
the course of preparation for the trade fair run very smoothly, well and fast. The
second day was our busiest in terms of attendance, and the third day was full ofmeetings with partners and clients.

The impressions of Neftegaz are always most positive. Participation is important
for the company presentation in order to remain relevant in the industry market,and so that potential customers could see us. The final results of participation
are normally summed up later, so speaking of future participation is beside thepoint for the present. In any case, the company management will surely
consider participation in Neftegaz 2020!
Videotec S.p.A., Mr. Alessandro Franchini, Marketing & Communication
Manager
We have decided to participate in the trade fair because we have a purposebuilt solution that we want to offer in the Russian market, and this participation
is essential to make ourselves known. Our product is specific, we have nobusiness in Russia, and therefore we did not expect many visitors at our stand.
However, outside Russia, we are a leading company in our segment, and webelieve that the trade fair will help us come to know our clients in this country
better, assert ourselves, showcase our product and our possibilities.
ENOTEC GmbH, Yulia Katkovskaya, Business and Marketing Assistant
Our company ENOTEC GmbH participates in the NEFTEGAZ exhibition for thesecond year as part of the German Pavilion, and for the second year we arepleased with the result. I am glad that the exhibition is still not only an important
image event, but also attracts many technical specialists, design engineers, forwhom it is important to learn about new products and technologies. We
managed to meet both our long-time partners and meet new potential
customers. From the point of view of the organization of the exhibition and its
follow-up promotion, everything is also at a very high level; I especially want toremark the contribution of the Messe Duesseldorf staff. We are already planningto participate in the NEFTEGAZ 2020.
HENGTONG OPTIC-ELECTRIC CO. LTD, Mr. Xu Guoxiang, Research andDevelopment Manager
Thanks for the organizer for providing such a great platform to display ourproducts, showing our company to the world. Also, let us know good products
from all over the world and better solutions for ourselves.

This is our first time to NEFTGAZ, the visitor amount of the show is unexpected,
everyday there are many visitors around our booth, and we hope could havefurther cooperation with our Russian partner.
VDMA Außenwirtschaft, Monika Hollacher
As in the past, Neftegaz was again able to convince with its wide range andcorresponding trade visitors this year. Both the fair and the parallel conference
provided opportunities for German companies to position themselves astechnology partners for the further development of the Russian gas and oilindustry.
