We had a lot of existing customers, and visitors, under one common platform, so it made it much easier. We came here, we saw a lot of machinery manufacturers, we saw new technologies, so that is also a good thing. And I hope that next time we have this show, we have more foreign visitors.

As far as the stainless steel industry is concerned, there has been a plethora of trade shows that were happening previously compared to that in the last two years. I have personally witnessed a lot of improvement in the organizations of such kind of trade shows focusing on the stainless steel industry in particular. I think that going forward the role which GSSE is playing will definitely create a lot more such platforms for exhibitors like us who can come, participate, share our knowledge and bring an overall improvement, and be a part of this exciting growth.

We are very happy to collaborate and participate in the Global Stainless Steel Expo 2023. These product expo shows are extremely important to bring the producers and users together. While manufacturers continue to innovate and bring new products, the only way to increase knowledge and awareness for the buyers and consumers is to do it on such a platform, otherwise it it is very difficult for the market to grow. Therefore, such expos provide a good opportunity to bring all these stakeholders together.
