TrafficInfraTech Magazine Linking People Places & Progress
Diwakar Raote, Transport Minister, Goverment of Maharashtra, was the Chief Guest for the second day of the Expo. “I was very impressed with the technologies displayed at the Expo. I came across some good systems for the highways which will help in curtailing accidents. I saw the latest signal control system for regulation of traffic. Different technologies had different ideas and systems but all seemed very effective in controlling traffic. Many technologies displayed for road safety will be very helpful in bringing down the fatality on the roads. When I went to one stall, I liked the technology. Then I went to the stalls ahead, and liked those technologies better. So, there was a wide choice of technologies to choose from. Shows like these bring the latest technologies of the world to us. They are very important”.
Supported by the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, the show had IL&FS (Transportation) and Elsamex Maintenance Services Ltd as Platinum Partners and Mass Trans, Mass Park, Kent, Logipix and Ador as Gold Partners. Tom Tom was the seminar partner. The sponsors were happy.
The exhibitors were happy as many of them were able to either finalise business associations or begin the initial interactions on future partnerships. Belgium’s Steur – Egghe found its distributor, ADOR, at the Expo. “We found a distributor, ADOR from Pune, for our product which is new for the Indian market. It will take care of all the areas in India for us”, said Erwin Smeyers, Export Manager and CCO, Stuer- Egghe”. He added, “Thank you for the effort you made and the opportunities you gave us. We will recommend your fair to companies in Europe”. Incidentally, Ador which bagged the Steur-Egghe contract, was a first time participant at the Expo. While this time he had taken a 81 square metre stall, Smeyers booked a 156 sqm stall for the show’s next edition that will take place in Hyderabad.
Similarly, Rasik Pansare of Get My Parking too got his partners at the Expo. He said, “We got partnerships and business from both, the visitors (government authorities, parking companies, builders) and other exhibitors (Parkeon, Efftronics, Secure Parking, etc.). Several enquiries we received have the potential to turn into business. In fact, a businessman from Ecuador who is into parking wants to use our technology in his country”. The company had introduced solutions that included digitising on-street parking without sensors and Enforcement App for Parking Policy Enforcers. AJS Scale International was happy that it received enquiries that can turn to business.
