Sweden’s biggest industry event, Elmia Subcontractor, has again strengthened its position as the leading market place featuring new business deals and important discussions. “We address the industry’s key issues of today, show tomorrow’s technical possibilities and understand the power of a handshake when doing deals,” says Karla Eklund, press relations officer for Elmia Subcontractor.
Elmia Subcontractor is always a reflection of the
industry’s current development and state of health. The suppliers and
visitors gathered at the fair provide a clear picture of the situation
today and their mutual encounters create strong business opportunities.
Despite any tremors in the world at large, the focus on the trade show
floor was clearly aimed at business. Concrete projects were discussed
and many deals were made at the exhibitors’ stands.
“We’ve gained a huge number of new contacts and hot
prospects to follow up,” commented Daniel Petersson, CEO of Gårö
Plåtprodukter. “And on Wednesday an existing customer came and said
they’re bringing their production home from Asia and giving it to us.
Fantastic news!”
This year’s fair presented several new events and activities in order to place an extra-strong spotlight on the industry’s agenda and to build new platforms for development and doing business. Two of them were Subcontractor Direct – the news studio with two stages and a constant flow of discussions and debates – and Interior Competence & Components – a dedicated arena for suppliers of interiors. Both ventures were very successful, and, combined with the industry expertise in attendance, they made this fair a strong driver of development. “Technology is developing exponentially right now, which means that networking, meeting others, and learning from each other are extremely important in strengthening Sweden’s manufacturing industry,” said Anders Lilja, Senior Director Manufacturing, Husqvarna Group.
Wednesday’s result of the American presidential election
was an obvious topic of conversation both on the trade show floor and
in analyses on stage. “Many of the suppliers are highly dependant on the
American market. But don’t rock the boat. Wait and see what policies he
will have,” was the advice given to companies by Fredrik Sidahl, CEO of
the Scandinavian Automotive Supplier Association (FKG). All in all, the week underlined the fair’s role as the
hub of the Swedish subcontracting industry more clearly than ever. “I would like to thank everyone who participated and
wish them good luck with their new business,” Karla Eklund conclude.

In the event world, it’s simply part of life if things don’t work out as planned.
Networking typically happens at real, in-person events. But it’s also possible to do it online; it just works a little differently. There are various options available to organisers.
New products and a well-conceived stand design are not the only drivers for a successful presence. Many other factors are also important, but trade fair planners often lose sight of them.
Trade fairs and trade fair companies need to constantly further develop, become more agile and flexible and offer services all year round. New, digital offerings are very important here.
