ProCórdoba Agency, through its Intranational Trade Program, reports that from 10th to 12th April the 17th edition of EXPO AICACYP was carried out. It was organized by the Association of Industrialists and Traders of Hunting and Fishing equipment.
In this opportunity, 5 companies from Córdoba participated with the support of ProCórdoba Agency:
Noelia Peralta, coordinator of the event, said that the results obtained were better than expected because the representatives of the companies that were part of the delegation expressed that visits to each of the stands and the sales deals doubled with respect to the previous year. Silvia Bussoli, representative of Borger Company, said:
"It was a pleasure for us to share the place. As regards the results in the local market, the proposal for our new line got good reception, mainly on the part of customers that already know our company. Once again, as in previous editions, the Fair meant an opportunity to have a dialogue with our clients and representatives and to find new possibilities of expanding our sales to increasingly loyal customers.”
It is important to highlight that two companies are analyzing possible sales to Uruguay and Peru with contacts made at the fair. Regarding this, Fabio Moriconi, representative of Balines Apolo, said:
“Regarding the local market, for us it was successful. We also received visits on the part of Uruguay and Peru. We have representatives of the product in Uruguay and we considered the operator of that country very interesting.”
On the other hand, it is also important to say that there was interest on the part of different businesses that do not directly belong to the field. In this regard and in relation to the results obtained from the participation in this event, Claudio Vannini from Industrias Airvam said:
“In my particular case, I think that the fair was positive. Even though I have participated in this event for five years, this year I’ve got several new customers. Business deals are renewed and many businessmen contacted me because they want to add this field to their businesses. I was amazed at the way businesses such as hardware stores, bike shops and other shops are now incorporating products related to fishing and compressed air into their portfolio. On the other hand, the contact with companies from Uruguay and Peru was very important. Let us hope that we will be able to bring them in order to close a first business deal. What is more, we got interested in a potential client from Jujuy who talked about the possibility of selling to Bolivia; we have to think about it."
The results obtained from the participation in this fair were possible thanks to the institutional support of ProCórdoba Agency in order for companies to participate together and not individually as in previous editions.
