Mediplas Debut Show "A Great Success"

Rapid News Communications Group (RNCG), the organisers of UK-based medical plastics exhibition Mediplas, are delighted to report that the 2012 debut edition, held on September 25-26, 2012, at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham, UK, was a resounding success.

Almost 5,000 attendees came through the doors of the show and its co-located events over the two days. There are reports that the quality of visitors was particularly high. Furthermore, exhibitors have talked of significant lead levels and many companies have already reserved their space for the 2013 event, which will be held at the same place—hall 3a of the NEC—on the same days next year, September 25-26, 2013.

Sean Fryers, marketing manager at UK-based cleanroom design and construction contractor Connect 2 Cleanrooms, commented: “Mediplas was a good addition to our exhibition strategy for 2012. We had the perfect opportunity to get in front of companies who had a genuine interest in our Connect 2 Cleanrooms Modular Cleanroom Solutions. The free wifi and extended free parking for visitors were a unique addition to the exhibition, which will hopefully set a high bar for other industry specific exhibitions in 2013.”

Terry Whitmore, managing director of Henniker Scientific was equally pleased. “This was our first time exhibiting at Mediplas and we were very impressed with both the number and quality of leads on both days. We were kept very busy with interesting new applications for our range of plasma surface treatment equipment and we have already reserved our place at next year’s show on the back of this.”

Visitor Richard Fletcher, managing director at RF Works, summarised: “Mediplas 2013 is the only exhibition to visit for everyone developing medical products.”

The combination of cutting edge medical technology on show with no admission charges, free seminar sessions, free car parking and free visitor wifi proved a winning formula for visitors and the stage is now set for continued growth in 2013.

Duncan Wood, chief operating officer of RNCG, commented, “We are delighted with the feedback from both exhibitors and visitors alike for the debut edition. Their enthusiasm for the new show has been the catalyst for its success and special thanks must go to our speakers and exhibitors for their contributions. We now have a great foundation that we can build on for 2013.”
