This year the guests could enjoy unique opportunities of MITEX broad business program. The key event was the RATPE conference “Russian Market of Power Tools and Labor Saving Devices: Present State and Prospects” which covered such  issues as Russian power  tools  market,  participation of  business   in standardization and technical regulation and latest trends of international trade regulations under the conditions of Customs Union.

As a result of a special focus on the education of young professionals a Student Initiative has been launched. Such companies as BOSCH, Interskol, HILTI, Hitachi and Stanley Black & Decker held workshops and practical training followed by visits to their stands. HILTI organized a meeting with their HR manager, who spoke with the students about job opportunities and internships in the company. 

In order to provide the exhibitors with the opportunity to demonstrate their products and offer the visitors a chance   to  personally  experience   represented  hand   tools  and  equipment,   a  Demonstration Area has  been created.   Blaunt,  Geopribor,  Interscol,  Kordoba,  Stanley Black&Decker,  and Fiolent have demonstrated their tools for construction, repair and forestry. 

Exciting events organized by the  WOOD-master  magazine brought  it  a widespread appreciation among the visitors:

Workshops   by   prominent   cabinetmakers.   Visitors   could   attend   tutorials   on   woodwork   decoration, turnery, woodcarving, marquetry, shellac finishing techniques, etc; 

Demonstrations of the latest novelties in the Russian market; Contests and prize drawings Woodwork fair

All the woodwork lovers could ask for advice from craftsmen working at the stand. Among them some famous names   could   be   found:     an   expert   on   finishing   techniques   –   Roman   Deryabin,   famous   renovator   and cabinetmaker – Fedor Bondarev,   shellac finishing technique   expert – Alexander Kashtanov. Everybody was welcome   to   try   working   on   different   machines   and   personally   experience   represented   hand   tools   and equipment. 

Rubankov Company    took   care   of   the   historical   aspect     of   the   exhibition   -   a unique   collection   of 19th-20th century tools was displayed at one of its stands. It consisted of wooden planes, which were demonstrated along with their modern counterparts against the background of old posters and catalogues. The collection also included numerous carpentry and bench tools: saws, wrenches, pliers, drills, tape measures, which have been collected and restored by Rubankov Company.

Same as last year Tools-Expert Magazine organized Belt Sender Tools Race, which took a special place among the entertainment shows at the exhibition. The visitors could witness how professional belt sanders were turned into race cars on a specially designed race track.  During two days Bosch, Euroexpo, Fasteners, Adhesives, Tools and … Magazine, Hitachi Power Tools, Instatus, Interskol, Kalibr, Ken, Pruma, Sturm and   construction college №26 took part in the heats. 

In their final interviews the participants of the exhibition noted that the exhibition was successful. Many of them outlined the increased scale of the exhibition, advantageous proximity to other representatives of the industry sector from all over the world and even interesting competitors in the framework of a single exhibition. 

According to  Galina Berezovskaya, Deputy Marketing director of  Hitachi, for her company the exhibition was not only a platform to demonstrate their novelties but also an important source of direct contact to the clients. Some brand new tools,  which were delivered from Japan  just a  few days before the exhibition start,  were demonstrated at the stand. It was important for the representatives of the company to know the opinion of their   customers,   their   impressions   from  working   with   the   tools   and   to   listen   to   their   suggestions   –   “We evaluated the degree of our customers’ interest for the brand and certain models and came to the conclusion, there is more space for development ”.

Apart  of   that  many participants  marked an  increased qualitative composition of   the  visitors.  Thuswise   the training center chief of Metabo, Evgenij Vinnizkiy made an observation that this year the company could exhibit more sophisticated types of tools, which  few would have been interested in in the previous years. 

Hermes company representatives noticed that this year the number of guests from Russian regions considerably increased and exceeded the number of visitors from Moscow and its Region. Moreover, they were more active in terms of making contacts. “Generally we can observe a trend towards regions and smaller businesses”. In the same context     Juri Holkidse, the Sales Representative of Wendt –one of the participants of the joint German exposition positively evaluated the extensive geography of the exhibition, not only on the part of exhibitors, but also on the part of visitors, many of whom came from the most remote parts of Russia. 

According to the organizer of the German stand, Marius Juschka, all the German participants were satisfied with the results - they managed to get many useful contacts.

Denis Borisov, Product trainer at TTI, mentioned a high level of organization and  pointed out  - “This year the access to the exhibition was facilitated.”

Every year the organizers of the exhibition make every effort so that the work of the exhibitors at the venue becomes even more convenient. Thus this year a mobile directory-guide with all the necessary information, including the list of exhibitors ,  numbers of their stands and contact information, floor plan, navigation and business program was available for downloading at www.mitex.neonavigation.com.
