| Successful days at Hannover Messe 2006 |
|
For the very first time this year's Hannover Messe featured a separate exhibition space entirely dedicated to Pipeline technology. Thus the worlds biggest fair for the capital goods industry proved to be a successful venue to present our products and services within a prominent setting even though our target group is comparatively small. For the 5 days of the fair our sales staff was happy to welcome a large number of visitors on the booth of NDT Systems and Services AG which we shared together with our partners Tuboscope Pipeline Services and PIT AG.
Located close to the so called Pipeline Forum, a space dedicated to daily presentations, talks and panels, our presence produced a constant stream of interested visitors. Especially the display of one of our ultrasound pipeline inspection tools lured a lot of passer-bys into stopping and asking curious questions about NDT's products and field of expertise. People already familiar with in-line inspection did get a hands-on explanation of our modular tool approach whereas interested students or other non-experts were given a short introduction into our interesting field of work.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our visitors for stopping by and we are already looking forward to next year's Hannover Messe!
