Exhibitor feedback
Dmitry Nastenko, Head of Representative Office of CNC Electric in Russia:
"This year was our second participation in the show. Last year, the stand was smaller. We realised that participation in the show gave us a big boost to sales, so this year we occupy a stand several times bigger.
Already on the first day, we saw a great deal of buying activity. There were a lot of visitors, several times more than last year.
We present air circuit breakers with rotary contactors, modular circuit breakers for 15 and 20 kiloamperes, an updated line of medium voltage and arc-fault protection, which according to the legislation is now mandatory for installation in social facilities.
We are confident that participation in the show will allow us to further increase our customer base and our brand awareness."
Sergey Prosvirnikov, Commercial Director for Block Complete Transformer Substations and High Voltage Equipment at MEL:
"We are taking part in this wonderful show of EXPOCENTRE today. We're back after eight years.
Wonderful atmosphere. Lovely lighting. Good management. We want to come back here again and again.
You can feel that this show is fascinating for everyone. Designers have come to see us, grid operators have come to see us. This is a big electrical market, a very interesting format. It is a pleasure to work.
We have two stands. There is a stand for low-voltage equipment and a stand for high-voltage equipment. We have brought our own cell, which is of interest to both grid operators and subscriber substations. It is a full analogue of the equipment that is already 50% localised. We plan to reach 100 per cent production."
Natalia Sukhova, Head of Branding and Marketing Communications at IEK GROUP:
"We are presenting our new corporate identity and new logo at this year's Elektro.
We have a large stand of 280 square metres to show comprehensive solutions for various industries, housing construction, and designer wiring products.
Elektro is very large-scale: it enjoys great interest and popularity among visitors.
There are a lot of visitors at our stand: customers and key partners from different regions of Russia and from abroad. Elektro gives useful connections and new projects."
Artyom Chesnokov, Commercial Director at AKEL:
"AKEL presents its equipment, which the company has been successfully manufacturing to date, at Elektro 2024. We present products from dry-type transformers to 0.5 ampere switches.
There is a great atmosphere here, a lot of professionals. Today, the Russian market is in dire need of such a show as Electro, because a lot has changed in our standard electrical life, many players have arrived.
We are a company that started to make equipment not so long ago. We need this event to show what we have achieved, what products we have started to make, and of course to present new products. There is a great opportunity to do this at Elektro."
Armen Badalov, First Deputy General Director for Sales and External Relations at Systeme Electric:
"We are the general sponsor of Elektro 2024 and a good partner of the show. We come every year.
This year we have a large stand. There are a lot of visitors. The show is filled with all kinds of equipment. There is a great interest from customers, partners and the market.
We have brought a number of new products to the show. These are updated low-voltage switches with a Russian-made electronic release, new lines of modular and wiring equipment. The show was a success. There were many customers, many interesting clients and partners, so all the objectives we had set for ourselves were met."
Anna Luchina, Director for Marketing and Sales at Power Systems:
"This is the first time we have exhibited at Elektro. It is the first time for us, and the experience is extremely positive.
There is a large number of visitors. Our business cards, booklets, leaflets ran out on the second day.
We supply gas generator sets from China. We provide service and installation, supply of spare parts, supervision and training of personnel.
We would like to thank the organisers. The location, the neighbours, the way everything is presented at this show – it is great for us, the exhibitors."
