Director’s comments
The enhancement of being part of the New Zealand brand was a value creator for us, as was the faultless support"
"I have been going to marine shows all over the world for the last 10 years. I have never been at a better show, full stop. The quality of inquiry, exposure to large spending customers, and potential for new business were all available,” says Clint Jones, Commercial and Defence Sales Director, Propspeed.
“The enhancement of being part of the New Zealand brand was a value creator for us, as was the faultless support from the entire team at NZTE pre, during, and post-show. We would do the next Indo-Pacific in a heartbeat and thank NZTE for organising the show and enabling our successful presence.”
Live demonstrations
Indo Pacific was also the first opportunity to conduct live demonstrations with the new Corrosion Protection Tank. Created in partnership with Marine Protection Systems, the tank is used to demonstrate the relationship and performance of various anodes and coatings.
The Propspeed team was joined by Brian Gatt from Marine Protection Systems, who ran daily demonstrations which were a big success with show attendees. Overall, this show was a big success for Propspeed, and it was incredibly lucky and grateful to have the support of NZTE who helped to make this possible.
