Well our first full year into the trade show scene has concluded.  We have met some wonderful people and seen some great scenery along the way.  We’ve had varying levels of success and learned a few lessons and/or tricks.

The fascinating part is how Trade Shows can give one exposure in areas that are in no way directly related to the geography or industry of the actual show.  Some examples include going to an Oil and Gas based show and then meeting with a civic construction company through contacts at the show, or going to California to end up in Europe, or the one I find the strangest, going to Pennsylvania to end up meeting with a company a half mile away.

Trade Shows are in many ways like Tungsten Carbide, there are many different types and grades, which all provide very similar function, prices vary, but the most important aspect is finding ones which “fit” your company, your application, and your budget.

Had a great time with all the folks who attended the DUG Eagle Ford show in San Antonio Oct 14-16. Great attendance and the icing on the cake was meeting the Keynote Speaker; Sgt. Dakota Meyers, Medal of Honor Recipient.

Finished the week in Midland/Odessa for the Permian Basin International Oil Show. Car had an 1/8″ of dust/dirt on it when we got back at the end of the day. Meeting up with people is always difficult, either they are in the show when you are at the show, or they are at the show when you are at their shop. Anyone we missed, catch you on the comeback…

Dynalloy Industries was delighted to exhibit at the IADC Drilling Onshore Conference & Exhibition on May 17th 2012 in support of Postle Industries’ Tuffband©NC and Duraband©NC hardbanding wires. The show experienced increased attendance this year for the conferences as well as the exhibits. The entire day was quite enjoyable as we were able to meet with several potential new customers. We hope to see you again next year!

On May 18, Dynalloy Industries was proud to be one of the many sponsors of the 6th Annual ICotA Sporting Clays tournament.  We hope the 300+ shooters all had a great time and look forward to participating in the event in the future.

Dynalloy Industries exhibited at the DUO show in Denver, Co May 14-16.  We would like to extend a big Thank You to Freeman, Hart Energy, and FedEx for their assistance before the show.  The DUO show had a good attendance and it was a pleasure to see familiar faces and meet some new friends.

Dynalloy Industries was proud to exhibit at the Four Corners Oil And Gas Expo in Farmington New Mexico the week of May 7, 2012. We were very pleased on how well the show was organized as well as the attended visitors and exhibitors. We had the pleasure of meeting new and existing customers this week. This was the first time Dynalloy Industries exhibited at this show and we look forward to attending the next Four Corners show in 2014. We found that the city of Farmington was very welcoming and eager to support all guest. Thank you to all involved for a very successful and pleasurable show.
