Mechanical Engineering Equipment Exhibitions 2008
First Quarter 2008
News & events
Auma, ACE/Micropul, Techmatic BSM, Bonfiglioli, Elephant Lifting Equipment, Drytech, Dymot, Madison Filtaflo, Flowseal Engineering, Hydromobile and Rand Blower.
Representing various fields of the mechanical engineering industry, these companies are the current members of Mechanical Engineering Equipment Exhibitions (MEEE), an association of companies that came into being more than 10 years ago. The aim of MEEE is to pool resources for marketing purposes.
Towards the end of each calendar year the members decide on the geographical areas in southern Africa that are experiencing significant building or refurbishing of facilities and which of these would be worthwhile to visit. MEEE plans between seven and 10 exhibitions in a year with major events such as Electra Mining often forming one of the planned shows.
Members share the cost of each exhibition, which makes these shows financially viable even for small companies. Each member invites its own or prospective customers to the show and displays on a small exhibition stand. This pooling of customers, suppliers, manufacturers, event co-ordination and finance facilitates cross selling opportunities, and networking with companies that would normally not be easily accessible.
The provisional calendar for 2008 is as follows:
February: Steelpoort and Nelspruit
March: Meyerton
May: Johannesburg
June: Rustenburg
July: Lichtenburg
November: Witbank
