AHMA Gearing up for the 2008 Expo Nacional Ferretera
SCHAUMBURG, Ill.-(Business Wire)-May 6, 2008 - After a highly successful outing at the Cologne International Hardware Fair / Practical World in Germany, the American Hardware Manufacturers Association's Pavilion Program moves next to Expo Nacional Ferretera. AHMA will be uniting a powerful group of US-based hardware/home improvement manufacturers under its AHMA / USA Pavilion to showcase American brands and products to the Latin American market.
The show, celebrating its 20th year, will be held September 12 - 14 at Expo Guadalajara in Mexico, is the dominant and leading hardware/home improvement trade show for the Mexican/Latin American market, attracting over 66,000 attendees in 2007.
"We had the opportunity this year to increase the space at our Pavilion, so we are able to invite more US manufacturers to participate in our program," said Timothy S. Farrell, AHMA's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We enjoy a prime location and we know attendees are looking for US based manufacturers, so there is a steady stream of heavy traffic for the duration of the show."
Exclusive services offered at the AHMA / USA Pavilion include a relaxation lounge, interpreter services, and coordination of hotel accommodation, booth space and layout, standard and custom furnishings, freight coordination and onsite staff support.
"We know that our manufacturers want to focus on meeting customers and selling product, so we make it as easy as possible for them to participate in the program by taking the stress of the logistics out of their equation," said Farrell. We have been organizing Pavilions at international shows for more than 25 years, so we know how to get things done, using our depth of experience and well-formed relationships."
There are still a few slots available for this year's event. For full trade show and registration information, visit www.ahma.org/expo or call (847) 592-3527.
