Exhibitors’ comments:

“We are very satisfied with this year’s PSI. With 360 new products at the trade show, we had the biggest product presentation so far. Our stand was very well frequented throughout.”
D.J. van Styrum, Managing Director, XINDAO B.V., Netherlands

“For us, PSI continues to be the platform to meet our customers at the beginning of the year. This is where the foundation for our work in 2012 is laid. This year, we are very satisfied with visitor quality and quantity.”
Meinhard Mombauer, Managing Director, LM ACCESSOIRES GmbH

“For us, the 50th PSI Show marked the starting point of our anniversary year. For our 100th anniversary we presented almost 100 new products to visitors. Resonance was very strong, and we had good visitor numbers throughout. There was a positive general mood at the show with expectations that 2012 will be a good year for the industry. So we also hope that our 100th year will be our most successful.”
Kai Gminder, Head of Sales, Gustav Daiber GmbH

“We are very satisfied with this year’s PSI. We had slightly fewer walk-in customers at our stand – particularly from abroad – but our regular customers were all present.”

Frank Sperber, Managing Director, elasto form KG

“At the PSI 2012 we again had good contacts with our customers and many good discussions. We introduced our school range at the show, a new product group particularly suitable for reaching the younger target group. The new products were well received by visitors.”
Dirk Käuper, Marketing Coordination, Werbemittel BRUNNEN, Baier&Schneider GmbH&Co. KG

“We set great store by also meeting our customers face-to-face, and once again that worked really well at PSI. All our major customers were here. PSI is a good opportunity to see them all at one event.”
Alexander Ullmann, Geschäftsführung uma Schreibgeräte Ullmann GmbH

“As an inventor I was immediately convinced on hearing about the opportunity to exhibit at PSI. PSI has pointed out other sales opportunities, in addition to IENA, to me.”
Gerhard Mayer, My Käfer GmbH

“We have been a PSI member for six years and also been represented at the show with a stand of our own. What struck us this year were the visitors from more ‘unusual’ countries: for instance from Egypt, Nigeria, Mexico. The good thing is that at PSI we can generally be certain that the quality of such visitors is right – an advantage of the membership principle. Of course we’ll be back again in 2013.” 
Lukasz Makowski, sales specialist, DreamPen, Polen

“This year’s 50th anniversary alone shows that the PSI concept is a successful one. You just can’t do without the trade show. In the past few years we were very successful, thanks also to our regular presence here. We have been here every year for the last 27 years. For us, the PSI is the most important trade show of the year.”
Jörg Dennig, Managing Partner, JUNG BONBONFABRIK GmbH & Co KG

“This PSI went really excellently for ppp. This is the best place for international networking. The joint presence of 5 associations at the eppa stand also enabled us to have an intensive exchange with colleagues and learn a lot from each other. For me personally, the trade show allowed me to meet with all the international contacts that are important for me.”
Maarten Los, Secretary, platform promotional products (ppp), Netherlands

“The mood in the industry has meanwhile veered back to good – we are all of us just tired of the crisis even in the Netherlands where the industry recorded losses of 10 to 15 percent. For 2012 we expect stabilisation and are very confident, especially after the PSI Show: our stand was permanently crowded especially on Thursday, and we had high-quality customers from all over Europe.”
Jeroen Wasserval, Country Managar, Benelux midoceanbrands, Netherlands

“bpma is at the PSI with a stand of its own for the third time, and present within the UK Pavilion with eight exhibitors for the second time. We are proud that this is also recognised and supported by the political side – as expressed in the financial support from UK Trade and Invest. The pavilion gives UK companies the self-confidence to enter the European market. Currently the promotional products industry is consolidating in our country as well, after a very difficult 2011. The partnership with the PSI Show is very important for us and extends far beyond the trade show. We want to continue to expand it, one possibility being the theme of further training, knowledge transfer.”
Gordon Glenister, Director General, british promotional merchandise association (bpma)

“We are delighted to see the issue of sustainability and quality assurance of promotional products so strongly represented at PSI. It is noticeable that things are moving in the industry in this respect. Due to the merger with the Indian manufacturer PREM our products now are single-source from cotton growing to finished production – every stage in the manufacture of any individual product can be traced online by means of a code. Our business at the PSI went well- we were struck by the large number of visitors from Eastern Europe, we even had new high-quality contacts from Slovenia at our stand.”
Uwe Kolling, Sales Representative, Corporate Germany switcher
