at the Texas City Chamber of Commerce Industrial Trade Show
When business travel was curtailed, it was a tough time for a lot of us. We could still talk on the phone and have meetings via the computer but somehow there’s nothing like talking to someone in the industry face to face.
Sure Flow Equipment was excited to get back in the ‘trade show’ saddle and attend the Texas City Chamber of Commerce Industrial Trade Show.
The Chamber of Commerce has a broad reach with many industries represented, but by the very nature of where it’s located, in the heart of oil and gas country, the petroleum industry was often front and centre.
The show was extremely well attended, and the luncheon was sold out. The Valero Texas City Refinery was the presenting sponsor so there were lots of refinery personnel in attendance.
As often happens at these shows, we were exposed to lots of new information, and we learned a lot. Everything from coatings on tanks and tank repair and maintenance to offshore construction and engineering.
Sure Flow feels very comfortable networking at these events considering how often our products end up in a variety of applications in the oil and gas business. From refining to transportation and pipelines including water and wastewater treatment, Sure Flow is well acclimatized to this environment.
Our consultant for this part of the world is Diana Sierk and she got to chat with lots of new and existing customers at our booth. Diana is member of the Chamber of Commerce, and this area represents a very important area to Sure Flow Equipment.
John Zuber, our VP of Sales and Marketing, also made it to the show and was really impressed with the amount of networking that went on.
According to John “Every industry is constantly changing, with technology and quality and environmental improvements and there’s no better way to figure out how your products fit into a changing marketplace than talking to the people who use them.”
“It was tough to not be able to meet with customers face to face a few years back, so a show like this is really a huge lift for the sales team.”
Sure Flow Equipment is happy to talk to you on the phone, to face time over the computer, or LiveChat on the website. But we really like meeting face-to-face. I guess we’re kind of old school that way, but we believe it’s an important part of any business relationship.
So please reach out and let us know what works best for you. We’d love to shake your hand!
