The meeting resulted in a boost to activity within a sector that crosses certain stagnation in the market. This achievement is the result of the bet by the cooperation of a group of small businesses with a range of innovative products and quality services able to attract lots of visitors, including representatives of large companies in the region.

What balance do of the sample Auxiliar-Metal I?

It has been a successful call, participation, response of the visitors of UPF We are very pleased because it has been a determined bet that began by the enthusiasm of a few entrepreneurs who, despite the initial reluctance of others, were able to go to transmit the illusion to the rest and hold a meeting where we have increased our visibility in the market, with great results in a first call.

Apart from results in closure of business and professional relations, this experience will provide participants a report on self-esteem and relations between companies.

Why the need for this showcase?

It has been convened at a key time where firms perceived a stationary market. We felt the need to teach to others, including the Murcia and national society which we know to do.

The sample has shown that we have been able to present innovative products and services that develop in the region, as well as serving to attract customers and new suppliers. The figure of nearly 800 visitors indicates that the other legs of the subcontracting market are also permeable to know what we are doing at the moment.

At what point are outsourcing companies?

Approximately represents half of the activity of the industry linked to the sector of the metal in the region, the other half is within metal processing. We provide a turnover of about 400 million euros to regional GDP.

Our added values are focused on our capacity for innovation, but we have the disadvantage of working in an environment where we desconocíamos what made the competition within our own region; with the exhibition, we have taken a decisive step to correct this error and join efforts.

For what has it served the sample?

I believe that to be aware of our regional environment, as I have indicated. We have experienced an atmosphere of cooperation and has been to dispel the fear among suppliers on the competition; We have shown the best of each one and our desire for improvement has gone to see what he is doing each.

After the descent of the blind, optimism was widespread, supported by a result of 336 contacts from work - with an average of 10 per company in two days; 36 closed agreements and the feeling unanimous to repeat the experience in a second call.

The Auxiliar-Metal sample I was organized to highlight the area of machining and regional auxiliary industry, which is home to 1,100 industries; It employs 7,800 employees, of which 900 are autonomous, and Bill about 400 million euros.
