Post-Tradeshow Follow-Up: A Successful Experience at the Precision Manufacturing & Technology Show
The Precision Manufacturing and Technology Show has come and gone, and we at SDC are reflecting on an incredibly productive few days connecting with new prospects, renewing relationships with past clients, and showcasing our cutting-edge capabilities in automated manufacturing. As a company that thrives on innovation and precision, it was a great opportunity to highlight some of our great capabilities: automated manufacturing machines, automated electropolishing, robotic flex feeding, and spare and custom parts manufacturing.
Here’s a recap of the highlights, key takeaways, and customer feedback from our team who attended the show:
From the get-go, the SDC booth was a focal point for many attendees. With our interactive displays, well-curated videos showcasing our capabilities, and knowledgeable team members on hand, we had a solid presence on the trade show floor. However, it wasn’t just the booth itself that made a lasting impression; it was the expertise we brought to the table. Our team had some fascinating conversations, met dozens of new leads, and received valuable insights from the attendees.
Many visitors to the show were specifically searching for tooling solutions for their CNC machines. A few visitors were surprised to learn about SDC’s global sourcing team, which led to some interesting discussions on how our sourcing expertise can help manufacturers source parts and tooling from around the world. With our own internal parts sourcing and in-house capabilities for spare parts manufacturing, we were excited to join the precision machining conversation. The current economic landscape is becoming increasingly difficult to navigate, a popular topic that we must keep up with ourselves.
We can still make it easy to find the best pricing and lead times for our customers through our in-house and global supplier network. All you need to do is complete a quote request form and our friendly parts and service team delivers a quote within 24-48 hours.
Show Attendance
We had consistent traffic flow at the booth throughout the event, and several dozen people stopped by to learn more about SDC’s capabilities. We were able to share the great news about our brand new facility in Concord, Ohio that allows us to expand our team as business grows.
This biennial Cleveland show brought national attendance with both new and familiar faces to our booth. Our unique perspective in the manufacturing industry gave us the advantage to discover automation opportunities through some face-to-face conversations with attendees. Our team relayed that it was a great local opportunity to network with both customers and suppliers.
And, of course, the team had some fun too! Our team shared some pictures and memorable moments of connecting with industry peers where they had the chance to unwind and discuss the future of the industry.
What’s Next?
This event not only reaffirmed the strength of our brand in the manufacturing and automation space but also highlighted key areas for improvement in our booth and overall messaging. We’re grateful for all the feedback we received and will certainly be making tweaks to ensure we continue to stand out at future shows.
All in all, this trade show was a great success. We were able to demonstrate our commitment to automation, meet potential customers, reconnect with industry leaders, and expand our network. The team is excited to keep the momentum going as we continue to innovate and lead the way in precision manufacturing.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to grow and partner with industry leaders for an automated future!
