Here are comments of participants made during the last day of the exhibition:

«WAGNER UKRAINE» (Ukraine)
Vasily Pivovarov, technical director:
«If to compare to last year the quantity of the presented firms has considerably decreased. As it is clear, after all the present crisis has knocked down many. Today in the market there were only the most crisis-proof companies. We consider ourselves to be a such company.
As to work at our stand we observe heightened interest to production presented by us and substantial growth of quantity of target visits. And in general, here, at the exhibition, we have felt for the first time that the market revives. So, we will hope for the best ».

Magazine «Paint and varnish materials and their application» (Russia)
Olga Andrutskaja, editor-in-chief:
«As you understand, it can’t be done any invention in chemistry during a year. Therefore in the West, for example, all novelties appear once in two years and exclusively at the exhibitions. Visitors, gathering for an exhibition, accurately know that all new will be necessarily presented in expositions. In our country  the annual exhibition cannot be passed, as someone from competitors will necessarily squeeze.
As to this exhibition it has appeared interesting, and we had a lot of works. All the days long were rich on meetings and very productive ».

Sergey Robak, director:
«We have executed the exhibition program. Everything that depended on us as from its sponsors, we also have executed completely. It would be desirable, that attendance experts was more.
As to the organisation, in my opinion, exhibitions should be even more accessible to exhibitors. Especially during such uneasy period for all of us. Probably, now all of us need to reconsider approaches to business dealing ».

"Irkom-EkT" (Ukraine)
Galina Polischuk, sales manager:
«Our company consider that the exhibition «PRIMUS: INTERFARBA» – is one of the best and interesting exhibitions in Ukraine. It is organized at the highest level. In spite of the fact that scales of the exhibition of this year less than the previous one, it has brought to us much more advantage. We had many potential clients who were interested in our production and wished to work with us as dealers.
We presented here acrylic first coat on metal among novelties of this year. This absolutely unique product in Ukraine has been developed in laboratory of our enterprise for an original compounding. We count on a great interest to our novelty.
Next year we will participate necessarily. We wish all participants and visitors of an exhibition prosperity and successes!»

Company SÖZER (Turkey)
Metin Oktay Sözer,  manager of sales and marketing department:
«An exhibition «PRIMUS: INTERFARBA»  is of great importance for our company from the point of view of production sale. We count on expansion of client base in Ukraine. That’s why we take part in this exhibition. There was considerable quantity of interested visitors at our stand. They have high qualification in this business.

«Here at the exhibition we have met many our competitors. Certainly, it would be desirable, that more people have arrived on the exhibition. It is said that it such time, but, I consider, that exactly now it is necessary to be especially active. After all knowingly say that the hungry wolf runs faster than the full.
As to the exhibition, I have no any questions to organizers. All is executed functionally, simply, clearly, well.
The chemistry is a science and the industry of high technologies which is not stay on the same place. Always there is something new, any highlights. We mark interest to our antibacterial coverings. Applying them, the Ukrainian manufacturer will make furniture which is exported to Europe ».

Chawki Reaidy, general director:
«Exhibition volumes have turned out a little smaller, than I expected. But, nevertheless, I managed to hold a considerable quantity of negotiations which, I am assured, will allow us to construct in Ukraine a dealer network. I expect the essential return from participation in the exhibition. But the most important thing, we managed to present favorably the production of our company in the Ukrainian market.

Company "BASF" (Ukraine)
Tatyana Biletskaja, manager:
«For me as for the representative of chemical concern, it was very important to hear experts’ opinion on new products workings out and market problems. Thanks to it we flexibly react to changes of consumers’ inquiries, we develop strategy of the enterprise development; we define products and technologies which it is better to emphasize.
The last congress – is a nice place for experts’ dialogue: technologists and heads of the leading paint and varnish companies. Taking part in it, it is possible to see the general tendencies of paint and varnish industry development.
It was discussed many rather pressing questions on the congress. In particular, how to develop the business in the conditions of an economic crisis and competitive struggle. New horizons of development have been planned.
It is pleasant to notice that in this business there are no indifferent people. They are ready to share the long-term experience and last achievements. On events of such level and subjects technologists not only raise qualification, but also receive stimulus for introduction of innovations and production improvement of quality ».
