The exposition is organized in a classic way of exhibition, as it was everywhere at the exhibitions in other countries, where our company took part. But the more companies participating, countries represented and visitors the better. What we see now at the exhibition is a very distinct reflection of the Ukrainian market condition on the whole.

We expect that the situation will be normalized in spring”.

WINDOW TECHNOLOGIES Magazine,

WAGNER UKRAINE Company (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 such a 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”.

ROLAX Varnish and Paint Factory (Ukraine)
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 Polishchuk, 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 the exhibition prosperity and successes!”

Company SÖZER (Turkey)
Metin Oktay Sözer, Sales Manager:
“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. I consider this exhibition to be successful for us as all purposes have been reached”.

Company CrymRosService (Ukraine)
Oleg Uzljakov, Director:
“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”.

Company EVI Vernici (Italy)
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”.

Once again the exhibition confirmed the status of image event: all main European players of the market are presented in Ukraine for a long time already, operators of the market know each other very well.

Next year we plan to participate and be sponsors again”.

Company GEALAN Fenster-Systeme GmbH
Rudolf-Henryk Kuschmann, Head of Representative Office:
“Ukraine did not escape economic crisis. In the created situation both we and our partners in Ukrainian regions should develop the new strategy directed towards reservation of manufacture and sale of windows. And we discussed it at the exhibition. This winter, in connection with the next energy resources price rise, the question of installation of new windows became to be the point. We want our buyers to realize that windows of corresponding quality and of the reasonable price is a successful money investment. And later on company GEALAN Fenster-Systeme GmbH will work hard in Ukraine and make investments.

“The beginning of 2009 pleasantly surprised us with scale of 9th International specialized exhibition PRIMUS: WINDOWS, DOORS & PROFILES 2009 in which the large quantity of the companies from Western and Eastern Europe, and also from the countries of the Middle East traditionally participated. Organizers of the exhibition – the International exhibition corporation PRIMUS EXHIBITIONS GROUP – provided high efficiency of all arrangements, high quality and the first class services, created perfect conditions for maximum quantity of transactions. High level of the organization and carrying out of exhibitions, solid structure of the participants, well organized advertising campaign and efficient work of the personnel – all again confirms it and justifies the name of the Corporation, in Latin “primus” indicates “the first”.

“I estimate very positively the exhibition PRIMUS: WINDOWS, DOORS & PROFILES. Ukraine is one of the largest countries in Eastern Europe, therefore prospects of Ukrainian market development are boundless. As manufacturers and suppliers, we are interested in clear conditions of production delivery. Carrying out the alternative exhibition at the same time creates chaos and makes a funny situation. But, despite it, both we and our partners managed to conduct the important negotiations and we are fully satisfied with the results of the exhibition. Our company pays a great attention to power savings theme. Windows and facades offered by us and supplied with photovoltaic systems are capable not only to keep energy, but also to create it. I think that it is necessary for representatives of the Ukrainian building companies, and especially for those who build in regions, to visit this exhibition since all novelties of the market are concentrated here”.

Company WINBAU®
Oleg Bludov, Commercial Director:
“This exhibition becomes the real sign event for branch and organizers managed to collect all precious pearls of storming ocean in window business and to underline uniqueness of each of them.

The personifying air ship, it symbolized ideological innovation and strategy construction of the company. And it’s skilled captain, affable stewardesses and the qualified employees sturdy held clients oriented steering wheel.

KRISTALL Trade House

Maxim Sitnikov, Sales Director:

“This year the exhibition was quite an unusual one. There were few visitors who came here just “to have a walk”. All our stand visitors were professionals. To communicate with them is the reason why we participate here. Most of them were our clients which we have known a long time and have been fruitfully working with. We have gathered them together and discussed the plans of our mutual development. The exhibition was the place where we can do it. Now the market is not developping so dynamically. Nevertheless this year we are satisfied with the exhibition more than the previous year”.

S & T Company

Yaroslav Ivanov, Commercial Director:

“The situation at the market on the whole and unstable financial situation in particular is the reason why some key players haven’t appeared at the exhibition at all. We have represented absolutely new goods range. We have positioned ourselves before only as representative of our own trade mark and it was only China. Now we represent some new brands of Japanese and Turkish houseware. We have been preparing for this for a long time: gathered resources, renewed the line in time, were very cautious in development.

Houseware market of our gift segment is very small and all the players know all the suppliers and each other very well. Not many new players have appeared. Participating in the exhibition we wanted to show our new face, directions and solutions.We were visited by all our key partners here. We have met all our old friends here as well.

We have felt more attention and care from the organizers too. Maybe the situation at the market contributed to it. We will for sure participate next year. We have felt the feedback from the exhibition today and have got a great number of orders. Our old clients who we stopped to work with because of some reasons, came back to us”.

There were visitors from Donetsk, Kyiv, Khmelnitsky and Ternopol. We are well represented in all these regions. The exhibition gives us more and more clients. People learn more about us and the company is developing.
