Granutech-Saturn Has Best Ever Show

Representatives from Granutech-Saturn Systems report they experienced the highest level of traffic ever at their booth at the Reifen show in Essen, Germany, this past May. According to Mike Hinsey, Granutech’s International Vice President, the benefits from that event continue to make themselves evident.

“The show was extremely well-attended which proved ideal for us to meet with some of our existing customers and to cultivate many new relationships,” he says. “In its 25 years as a tyre trade fair, Reifen has really grown, both in size and in overall importance. As a result, we had visitors to our booth from throughout Europe, Asia, South America, and more. It was very much a global show.” Throughout the show, Hinsey adds, they had a good many initial inquiries but an equally impressive number of follow-up visits.

“We were, in fact, understaffed much of the show,” he says. “For years now, activity in both Europe and Asia has been steadily growing for us, and this show really brought it to the forefront. Construction of new tyre recycling plants, coupled with the expansions taking place at several tyre recycling or granulation plants throughout the continent, has led to very strong sales for Granutech. For us, Reifen 2008 was proof that the global tire recycling industry is increasingly turning to Granutech for solutions to their tyre granulation and recycling needs — and we are more than glad to help.”
